Harshal Patel is replacing Garton, and both Gill and Iyer are going to be a little wary now, this guy has built a dangerous reputation for himself this season. Iyer takes a single and then Shubman Gill is OUT! Immediate impact from Harshal Patel, he lures Gill with a slower ball, which Gill eventually hits to de Villiers. RCB have their breakthrough! Doubles, singles and points, before Rahul Tripathi hits the bat with a great shot, it is lofted for four over cover! Time for a strategic break.
OFF! Shubman Gill tries to hammer it into the ground for a six, but it’s a wrong shot and it goes very high but not too far. Shubman Gill c de Villiers b Patel 29 (18 balls)
Siraj’s third over, the first ball is thrown in the direction of the fine leg, and the fielder just manages to get there and prevent two runs. Oh beautiful field of Padikkal there, he jumps to the side by his side and manages to prevent a boundary that probably would have been a boundary. Three runs saved. Two points follow. Siraj did quite well all in all, but he will know that RCB will need a wicket soon. Can he make it available? Not this one over, two singles over.
George Garton, to continue, can he be a little more frugal this time around and avoid getting hit like he was on the last ball of his last overs? Apparently not, he was hit by Shubman Gill about back-to-back limitations. The first two are strong letters of intent, one pulled straight to the ground and the other pulled deep into the center. The third one is a little lucky, the lower edge pushes him past a diving Dinesh Karthik. Three singles at the end, 15 of them.
FOUR! A third border, this time with a bit of luck, as it gets a lower edge that leads it past the goalkeeper.
FOUR! Nicely timed by Shubman Gill, steps down the field and hits it right past the bowler.
Siraj continues, starting with a period and a single. Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill then run a cheeky single after a fielder hits the stump with a throw and it ricochets. Another single and then two dot balls to end the over, well over it from Siraj.
George Garton skittles the second, and he starts by giving away two singles. If Iyer and Gill get a few runs on the board here, Kolkata should prepare well. A single point and two follow before Venkatesh Iyer unleashes a vicious move for the first six of the game!
OUT! Shubman Gill tries to hammer it into the ground for a six, but it’s a wrong shot and it goes very high but not too far. Shubman Gill c de Villiers b Patel 29 (18 balls)
Ferguson leaves for a York but ends up bowling a full throw. Shahbaz swings his bat and blows it up. But he doesn’t manage to reach the distance when Mavi makes the catch.
After Kohli and ABD, Narine removes Maxwell. The timing of a shot was torture on this stretch and Maxwell sweeps the short third man.
Narine picks up another large wicket. ABD loses its stumps after being hit by a flicker. It was slowly in the air, in and out, and went through the gap between the club and the pad.
Narine lets the ball turn from the center to Kohli. The RCB batter attempted a slog sweep, but the ball went under the bat to break the stump.
Bharat sets out to negotiate the long boundary rope. It was a caramel ball thrown up and Bharat couldn’t get the power behind his punch.
Chopped up! Padikkal throws his bat on the wide outside of the ball, but lands with the inside edge on the stump.

Both teams look strong on paper and go into the crucial game after winning their previous games. While RCB won a last ball thriller against Delhi Capitals, KKR secured a big win against Rajasthan Royals.
RCB qualified for the playoffs and finished third with 18 points out of nine wins. KKR didn’t have the best start to the tournament in India but turned their luck in the United Arab Emirates in the second half. They won seven out of 14 games and finished ahead of defending champions Mumbai Indians thanks to a better net run rate.
Kolkata’s biggest asset is the bowlers. Greats like Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine were impressive with their spells, while Lockie Ferguson was also in good shape. Shivam Mavi also picked up four wickets in KKR’s last game and considering they are back at Sharjah, expect Morgan to name an unchanged team. With the addition of Shakib Al Hasan to the XI, KKR looked like a balanced team.
