- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.2 Oh, Malinga strikes back! We saw Jaiswal almost get out the same way in the last over. Now Malinga does the trick. It's a 142kph back of length delivery around leg and angled across. Jaiswal is again hurried on the pull and this time the miscued pull sees the ball carry to Klaasen at mid-on 40/113.5 And now a misadventure ends his innings. He grimaces, he knows he played the wrong shot here. Ball was speared in full, but he turned around in his crease to scoop this over deep fine leg. Could not get under the ball, and it's struck him on the pads. As plumb as it gets. He reviews. Might as well. But he's plumb, and his face reveals it too... And yes, impact in line, wickets hitting. He has to go back. 170/312.4 Extra cover runs in, and Aniket - who dropped Sooryavanshi earlier in the game - snares this one with ease! Sat up outside off and was there to be hit for Jurel, in all honesty. But gets a thick edge off his hoick looking to go downtown. Aniket had to just run in to complete a simple catch 152/216.1 Cummins bowls a worldly of a yorker! The ball was speared in, and kept drifting in, drifting in, drifting in... Just sails past Parag's attempt at keeping it out, and pegs back his stumps... Cummins celebrates with both his arms spread. He enjoyed that 191/418.4 Swiped across the line and right into Klaasen's hands down at long-on! He was way down leg, and got a low full toss too. There to be hit, but he mistimes this right into Klaasen's reliable bucket hands. Time to go back after a rather handy knock 214/519.3 Another full toss goes unpunished. Was floated up on the stumps, there to be hit. But Hetmyer just couldn't get under this ball as he swivel-pulls this across the line. Straight to deep midwicket. Hinge finishing with a wicket next to his name, after the beating he took earlier this innings 225/6Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL228/6 (20 Overs, RR: 11.4)Fall of wickets: 1-40 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2.2 ov), 2-152 (Dhruv Jurel, 12.4 ov), 3-170 (Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, 13.5 ov), 4-191 (Riyan Parag, 16.1 ov), 5-214 (Donovan Ferreira, 18.4 ov), 6-225 (Shimron Hetmyer, 19.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 No first-ball wicket, but a first-over wicket nonetheless! Archer's bowled a superb first over here and he gets the rewards he deserves. This is a 140kph length ball around leg, cramping Head, who was backing away. Head gets squared up again and ends up with a thick edge and this time Jurel holds on. Five first-over wickets for Archer in IPL 2026! 7/19.6 On a day where catches are going down for fun, Archer holds on to a really good one! Ferreira gets the breakthrough with a full ball cramping Abhishek for room. he backs away and looks to go down the ground. Gets a lot of height, but it's just a bit short of the boundary. Archer grabs it well above head height and does well to keep his balance 139/212.1 Ferreira pulls out a stunner down at long-off to absolve the sins of RR's fielders! Somewhat... The ball was banged in on a hard length. Kishan whipped this one with a lofted bat, but mistimed this as one hand came off the bat handle. Ferreira lept in the air and rolled on the turf in his follow-through 166/317.6 Klaasen has pulled this juice full toss, on his hips, right to Bishnoi at deep square leg! Was there to be deposited over the ropes, but ball died on Klaasen just a little bit. Klaasen asks if it's a waist-height no ball, and the umpires oblige with a check. Ball below his waist, Klaasen has to walk back in the end 220/517.2 What a brilliant yorker, this one! Absolutely spears this one in, in front of the stumps, throwing NKR nearly off his feet. But he recovers. And also reviews instantly. Reckons there might be an edge to save him? Ball tracking turns up three reds. NKR has to make the long walk back home before he can finish this off. As good as finished this chase off, though 219/4Extras18 (lb 5, w 13)TOTAL229/5 (18.3 Overs, RR: 12.37)Fall of wickets: 1-7 (Travis Head, 0.5 ov), 2-139 (Abhishek Sharma, 9.6 ov), 3-166 (Ishan Kishan, 12.1 ov), 4-219 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 17.2 ov), 5-220 (Heinrich Klaasen, 17.6 ov)
