RCB vs GT ๐ฃ Epic Playoffs Clash | Cricket 26 Gameplay๐ฑ #cricketAdded:
Hello and welcome. You join us for this 2020 match between the Bangalore Crowns and Gujarat. I'm Adam Gilchrist and with me for this exciting contest is Ali Mitchell. Thanks for the fabulous introduction. We're just about ready to get underway. Thanks Ali. We go out to the middle now. Big decision coming up.
The Titans will head out onto the field.
The captain had no hesitation in deciding to take the new ball in these conditions. Bunton opening the batting right-hander very capable with the bat.
Skill will be at the non-striker's end first up.
>> [cheering] >> The umpire signals that we're ready to go. First ball of the innings about to be bowled.
Can't get that outside the ring field.
Nicely played.
Run is one.
That shot sees them get their innings started.
First ball for the batter coming in.
Well played. Could be a quick single.
No waiting around. Off the mark straight away.
The batter has made a bit of a meal of that delivery.
A little late on that. No run scored.
Couldn't get it >> Mhm.
>> A little flight, could be a quick single.
Straight to the fielder.
Cuts that off well in the infield.
Beats the outside edge, good bowling there. Banton lets it go through to the keeper.
Does very well to quickly get across to this one.
>> Into the fourth over, the score is now 16 for none.
>> A new bowler is coming into the attack.
Yep. Pulled away. Should just be the single with deep square leg out there.
Yep. Over the infield with a cracking shot.
Driven through cover, just the one.
Misses everything.
That isn't the best delivery I've seen, but somehow they get away with it.
That showed great skill. Lovely timing.
The boundary is the only place that ball was heading.
>> Just need to keep it simple, line and length, around about off stump. That'll force a mistake.
Yep. Nicely played.
One he's wanted.
End of the fifth over, the batting team are now 24 for none.
Yep. Oh my, that's racing away.
You can't hit the ball much better than that. Times it to perfection.
>> [cheering] >> Uh good contest here at the moment. Four off the last ball. It'll be interesting to see how the bowler can respond.
>> Nice running between the wickets.
Clipping the pads though, not the bats.
There'll be runs here.
The Royal Challengers needs this sort of rhythm to be maintained. Good over. Five fielders now allowed outside the circle.
Picked away neatly off the pads. Should get four.
Doesn't even wait to see the ball's going to do anything. Onto the front foot, punches it away to the boundary.
Can he come back with a dot ball?
That was a tremendous delivery. Fizz three to the keeper. No more short balls this over.
Kaur didn't get the feet moving. Played the wrong line, threw the hands at it, got nothing on the ball.
Well timed, but there's a fielder out there.
Four.
And it's one of the easiest catches you'll see.
Buckland just about ready to go out in the middle.
Someone different now to bowl at. Brings a different set of problems. I feel it's just a matter of pitching the ball up and getting them onto the front foot.
A great shot, but not going to beat the fielder.
>> [applause] [cheering] >> Sunda, left-hand middle-order batter taking guard.
The hat-trick ball. This is the worst time to be coming out to the middle.
>> [cheering] >> End of the second over, the batting team are now on 36 for two.
Hazlewood back into the attack.
>> He's going with the medium pacer.
>> Winds up and misses. Looks like they went a bit too early on that shot.
Driven on the onside, but straight to mid-wicket.
Really wound up for that ball. Seemed to come onto the bat quicker than he thought.
They were wise to the run there.
Excellent call. It was off the pad and they got through quickly.
Nicely played. One is wide.
Well played. Could be a quick single.
He's got to follow up that last delivery. Found the edge, but no reward, but putting pressure on the batter.
Goes over the top with that shot.
End of the eighth over. The batting team is now 40 to 2.
>> Can't get that outside the ring field.
Massive appeal. What have just been missing there?

It's just a case of finding the same spot.
Power and precision in that shot.
End of the [clears throat] over, the score is now 32 for two.
>> No, no, no. Terrible shot.
The loose full one goes unpunished.
Doesn't beat the infield.
Wow, that's missed the loss.
A not shot.
I'd say that was the right call not to run again. There's some strong arms out there in the field.
Went for the drive, complete miss. Oh, that's a great take. Needed a big stretch to save any runs.
Shipperd comes back into the attack.
Runs are slow. They're a good option to continue tying these batters down.
He's quick onto in the infield.
Oh, there you go. A no ball. Maybe just trying a little too hard. Just need to get more control back.
Shepherd needs to get their run-up sorted. It's all going horribly wrong with that last delivery. They're normally much better than this.
Great commitment.
Beats the bat. Cheers, Gary. That missed the stumps. Peach of a delivery.
I reckon it was the length that got them there. The keeper takes it, just missing the stumps along the way.
Finds a fielder with that shot.
Couldn't get it through the field.
You want to make use of that extra delivery.
Pandya, Hasnain coming in for the attack.
Clicks that one simple as you like inside the ring.

Couldn't find the gap though.
Oh my, that's racing away.
Nicely fielded out deep on the boundary.
Hey!
>> Nice shot. Runs possible.
Straight onto the leg and glanced at nicely. Mark just get to the boundary right.
Four runs. He was so still at the crease. Just a slight movement forward.
Back Goes to the drive, but it's a Bold shot.
Oh, didn't get the feet moving. Played down the wrong line. Threw the hands at it. Got nothing on the ball.
Finds the edge.
Let's just see if they can get that ball up into the slot as before. It's so crucial. You've got to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
Does very well to quickly get across to this one.
Rolled the wrist over nicely down towards fine. Fielding needs to put their skates on to catch it.
Never an extra run on that arm. Great throw back in from the deep.
Full toss and worked off the pads nicely. Could well be four.
You can't fault the bowling. Sometimes your opponent is just too good.
Wonderful front foot shot. And there was no point chasing that.
This delivery just needs to be pitched up on length. Too short and you're going to get punished on this pitch.
Nicely played. Runs one.
End of the 13th over. The batting team are now on 62 for two.
Duffy back on now. The video assistant is coming into the attack.
That's right out of the middle of the bat.
>> Hit that well off the back foot, but couldn't beat the field.
Great shot into the gap and there'll be runs on offer here.
I'd say that was the right call not to run again. There's some strong arms out there in the field.
They'll get at least one here.
Oh my that's just flown off the middle. Caught and it's one of the easiest catches you'll see.
Phillips in the middle look to get the feet moving from the get-go.
First ball for the batter coming in.
Out? No. Somehow it's missed everything.
End of the over. This is >> The timing on this shot is so bad.
Didn't even get close to the ball. Very fortunate that it didn't take off stump along the way.
Candia coming back on here. They've been bowling really well so far.
They've gone [cheering] up here.
Nice shot. Just a flick off the pads.
Doesn't even wait to see if the ball's going to do anything. On to the front foot, punches it away to the boundary.
Candia shouldn't be too worried about that last ball. They've got them playing their shots. Just need to tighten their areas now.
Beats the outside edge. Good bowling there. No shot offered. Three to the keeper.
Shot. Should be runs here.
That's gone.
Not a simple catch.
>> [applause] >> Holder out in the middle. Lovely player to watch once in. Looks quite relaxed, too.
He's got that tail up.
Goes over the top with that shot.
That shot sees them get their innings started.
Smacks that away through the gap.
Nicely played. Runs one.
Great shot, just square of backward point. That might just make it.
Good return back from the deep.
>> And the batter's made a bit of a meal of that delivery.
The loose full one goes unpunished.
Edge, but it drops safely.
He's got to follow up that last delivery. Found the edge, but no reward, but putting pressure on the batter.

Really wound up for that ball. Seemed to come onto the bat quicker than he thought.
Nice running between the wickets.

Caressed that nicely through the gap to the boundary.
>> [cheering] >> A good contest here at the moment. Four off the last ball. It'll be interesting to see how the ball will then respond.
That's a strong appeal. What's the umpire's decision?
On to that early, that could be four.
It was on the side of bowling slightly fuller and they've been put away.
You feel there's too much wrong with that last delivery. They just need to keep the ball in the right areas and the rewards will come.
Not the ideal way of handling that ball.
Bowler in the slips have really gone up here. They like it.
Well played. Could be a quick single.
End of the 17th over. Batting team are now 87 for four.
Cheema coming back into the attack. The medium pacer.
>> Wow, that's missed a lot.
Well, that's a wild one. Nothing elegant about that shot. Just not timing it at all. Poor play.
Tries to flick it past that good square, but that'll be an easy catch.
Kahn, the new man in the middle. He'll want to get the feet moving, get behind the line of the ball nice and early, and really get stuck into his innings.
Over pitched, punched through the leg side. Fielders got some work to do.
They picked the slower ball right away.
Wasn't a bad delivery, but dispatched to the boundary with ease.
>> [cheering] >> Can't afford to go too full again. Does help to switch up your deliveries just to keep them guessing.
Kuma with a beautiful piece of fielding.
>> Messy that's all it is.
Time to follow up after such a great delivery. Pitch it on a length is obviously the way to go.
Oh my.
That's just flown off the middle.
That is a masterclass of batting. Reads the length, gets forward, dispatches it to the boundary.
Hazelwood, the pace bowler coming in the attack.
Nicely played. He runs one.
That's out. Caught.
>> Wood, left-hand middle-order batter taking guard.
Someone different now to bowl at. Brings a different set of problems. I feel it's just a matter of pitching the ball up and getting them onto the front foot.
That should allow them to get off the mark.
Clicks that one simple as you like inside the ring.
No, no, no. Terrible shot.
Oh, didn't get the feet moving. Played down the wrong line. Threw the hands at it. Got nothing on the ball.
Plenty of wickets in hand going into this, the final over. May as well go for broke.
Nice running between the wickets.
Clipping the pads though, not the bats.
I dealt with that beautifully. Saw the short one and got out of the way. No more of those in this over.
>> Went for the drive, complete miss.
The loose full one goes unpunished.
Edged it.
Amazing reflexes and that's stuck. Great grab.
>> [cheering] >> Rabada, the tailender at the crease. May not take long before having a swing.
Power and precision in that shot.
I didn't time that at all, but managed to get it away to the boundary.
Rabada has gotten the big shot away this over. Now they can focus on playing the next ball on its merits.
Yes.
Well played. Could be a quick single.
Can't get that outside the ring field.
>> And that's the end of the innings. The Royal Challengers have been set a target of 106 runs.
>> This total is well below par and the openers are going to be looking to close this out quickly. The bowlers going to have to find something to make up for the rest of the batting team's failures.
Siraj coming in.
Good shot. A beauty.
Had a real flash at that one.
Beautifully struck, too.
>> [applause] >> Might look to go big again here.
Nicely played. Runs one.
>> Oh, that's hit them at pace. That looked painful.
Finds a fielder with that shot. First over complete and a good start for the batters. Seven for none.
Change of bowling into the captain. He's going with the medium pacer.
>> Winds up and misses. It's like they went a bit too early on that shot.
Overstepping. Just a little too eager on that delivery.
Didn't keep the foot behind the line.
That could be costly with a free hit for the batter now.
Great shot. At least one on offer.
That ball was well clear of the fielders. They could have taken a couple possibly.
Doesn't meet the infield.
Massive outside edge.
Five runs added there. The Royal Challengers 12 for none. Can't play up and running. Steady start for both teams.
He's quick onto that in the infield.
>> That was a nick. It's a missed chance, and that could well be four.
>> [cheering] >> Rabada shouldn't be too worried about that last ball. They've got them playing their shots. Just need to tighten their areas now.
Waits for it. Crack! And that looks to be four.
Kohli was quick onto that one. Cut it away through the field into the boundary.
This delivery just needs to be pitched up on a length. Too short, and they are going to get punished on this pitch.
Couldn't get it through the field.
Pinged off the bat.
You can't fault the bowling. Sometimes your opponent is just [music] too good.
Wonderful cricket shot. There's no point chasing that.
Yeah, it can be very disheartening seeing good deliveries smacked around.
Sometimes, though, you've just got to accept it and move on.
That's the over. The Royal Challengers are 24 for none. End of the third, another good over here in the power play. Good mix of running, timing, and power sees them ahead of the required run rate early on.
Smacks that away through the gap.
Four.
That's one of the easiest catches you'll see.
Right hander out in the middle, and just about ready to go.
David taking guard. He's been playing really well in recent matches. Certainly needs to bring their A game today.
It could be a couple if they hustle.
Oh my. My, that's just flown off the middle. Doesn't even wait to see if the ball's going to do anything. On to the front foot, punches it away to the boundary.
Boundary last ball. What's to come this delivery, I wonder.
Straight to the fielder.
End of the fourth over, the score is now 29 for one.
Oh, now then, that's high in the air.
Batter should get a few here.
Avoided the fielders. One bounce and four. Fantastic shot.
>> [applause] >> Can he come back with a dot ball?
Goes for the drive, but it's a wild shot. Great work behind the stumps.
Saved some runs with that dive.
Does very well to quickly get across to this one.
Hit that and fast.
Well, you can't fault that shot. Nicely played and it was four runs all the way.
A good contest here at the moment. Four off the last ball. It will be interesting to see how the bowler can respond.
Off the middle of the bat.
Starting to hit their stride. Fabulous piece of timing and they're into the 20s.
Two boundaries in a row. Time to focus back to line and length.
Perfectly Well, these are the sorts of shots you just stand and admire. Gets onto the back foot and rolls the wrist to keep control and find the boundary.
16 runs added there. The Royal Challengers are 45 for one. The bowlers have been steady. Just some bad balls amongst the good deliveries which sees their opposition ahead of the required run rate at the moment.
A scamper through for a single. Good running.
A nice glance off the pads. No stopping that one.
Four runs. They were so still at the crease. Just a slight movement forward.
Fabulous shot.
>> Always difficult to focus after what happened last ball, but you just got to stay positive and believe the wicket's going to come.
That was a mighty swing, but the shot was so late. Very nearly took an edge to the keeper. No control on that whatsoever.
Just need to settle down. The timing's all off. These deliveries are there to be hit. Just got to keep a cool head.
Great shot. At least one on offer.
That ball was well clear of the fielders. They could have taken a couple possibly.
They'll get at least one here.
End of the over, end of the restrictions. I'm sure we'll see some big fielding changes coming. Five fielders now allowed outside the circle.
Beats the outside edge. Good bowling there. Saltz left it alone. Didn't want to chase the wide one.
Short, should be runs here.
I'd say that was the right call not to run again. There's some strong arms out there in the field.
Great shot. Gets a hold of that and places it through square leg.
There was a gap there and pulled away with conviction to the boundary.
Don't need to do anything special. Line and length is the key here.
Well played. Could be a quick single.
No, no, no. Terrible shot. It was a brilliant diving effort. Couldn't manage to get there for the catch, but still a great stop.
Uh, it's on the side of bowling slightly fuller and it's been put away.
Just need to keep it simple. and length, and about off stump. That'll force a mistake.
Clicks that one, simple as you like inside the ring. They've got busy working the ball around and hitting boundaries in between. It's a good setup for a strong finish.
Oh, didn't get the feet moving. Played down the wrong line, through the hands at it, got nothing on the ball.
Cuts that off well in the infield.
Nicely played. Runs one.
>> A nice shot.
Good return back from the deep. That's the over. Royal Challengers, 66 for one.
They've done well. Sometimes after the power play, the run rate can drop a bit, but the batters have kept up the intent they had early on, and this run chase looks secure.
>> [cheering] >> That's a strong appeal. What's the umpire's decision?
The Titans having a good chat with the captain. Not sure this one is worth review, though.
Didn't have a lot going for it. It's hit them outside the line, and will be not out.
Wolfe looking quite surprised. Didn't seem too worried about a reversal.
A great shot, but not going to beat the fielder. Four, four.

Great shot, just square of backward point. That might just make it. Well, what a lovely shot. It flew to the boundary. That's clearly not the type of delivery to be bowling here.
Might look to go big again here.
Great timing, right off the meat of the bat.
Great shot. There's a fielder back there, but they won't be stopping that one. David loves the short balls, and that hook shot was no exception.
Got it away for four. Back with a point very nicely.
Do they go full? Do they go short? A lot to ponder this delivery after the boundary.
Wow, that's missed a lot.
Oh, didn't get the feet moving. Played down the wrong line, through the hands at it, got nothing on the ball.
He's quick onto that in infield.
They've got busy working the ball around and hitting boundaries in between. It's a good set up for a strong finish.

Part of the match for that and three to the keeper.
85 for two.
This bowler knows how to give the ball in a mighty tweak. See how they go.
Driven through extra cover. You get a single.
Oh my, that's racing away.
Big edge.
Let's just see if they can get that ball up into the slot as before. It's so crucial. You've got to follow up that last delivery and keep the batter under pressure.
Great shot. Rode the ball up with him and cut through point. That was a boundary the moment the ball left the bat. Can't time that any better.
Perfection.
A good contest here at the moment. Four off the last ball. It will be interesting to see how the bowler can respond.
Driven through cover. Just the one.
End of the 13th over. The Royal Challengers are now on 92 for two.
Going with spin now. The spinner is coming on to bowl. Spin is coming on to ball.
Straight onto the leg and glanced it nicely. Might just get to the boundary rope. That showed great skill. Lovely timing. The boundary is the only place that ball was heading.
Can he come back with a dot ball?
Goes for the drive, [cheering] but it's a wild shot. They've gone up here.
Yeah, the keeper's really going up.
Heads do the surrounding field as they seem convinced. Could be a review coming up.
Impacting outside the line. Easy decision that for the third umpire.
Yeah, not the best of reviews here.
Great call by the umpire though.

That's all from us in the commentary box. It's been an amazing match. Hope to see you again soon.
Yeah, buddy.
Come on, ref.
Come on, ref.
Oh!
Oh!
>> I'm ready.
Hey.
