4.44.4 Abdullah to Gayle, out Caught by Yuvraj at mid on!! End of Gayle, pitched up and Gayle decides to hit another one very hard down the ground, slogs it across the line but fails to get it wide of mid on, hit straight to him and Yuvi doesn't err, well taken, that was travelling quickly, no more Gayle in this IPL, this was his last game, he would be disappointed! Gayle c Yuvraj b Abdullah 17(17) <4s-3>
10.310.3 Chawla to McCullum, out Caught by Malik at backward square leg!! On the shorter side, McCullum goes back and tries to pull it over the shorter boundaries on the leg side, doesn't get hold of it as the ball shoots off the top edge, safely taken! McCullum c Malik b Chawla 19(31) <4s-1>
15.615.6 Chawla to Ganguly, out Caught by Sangakkara!! Ganguly tries to go big once again, goes for the slog sweep probably, top edges it high up in the air, the keeper calls for it and takes it clean! Ganguly c Sangakkara b Chawla 22(17) <4s-1 6s-1>

14.614.6 Abdullah to Hodge, SIX!!, Banged in short and thwack! Hodge comes down the track and swats it over long with a flat bat for a six, another rare hit, only this man has looked good today with the bat
15.315.3 Chawla to Ganguly, SIX!!, Ganguly comes down the track and helps it over square leg for a biggie, that was so beautifully timed, lovely shot, that is what Ganguly is known for!
19.619.6 Pathan to van Wyk, SIX!!, Full toss, ohh boy, what was Pathan doing there, aiming for the yorker and ends up dishing out a full toss, van Wyk swings it high over mid wicket for a biggie, cleanly struck, what an end, completely different from what the start was! Amazing..

0.50.5 Ishant to Sangakkara, out Caught by van Wyk!! Havoc! The move hasn't worked, banged in short and surprisingly enough this one raced off the deck unlike the other ones, Sangakkara tries to pull, top edge goes high up in the air, the keeper has to run back a long way, judges it well to take a catch nicely over his shoulders, wonderful take indeed, this is the kind of start Kolkata would have thought of, more wickets needed though! Sangakkara c van Wyk b Ishant 0(2)
5.15.1 Agarkar to Sohal, out Caught by Ganguly at mid on!! Length ball on the stumps, Sohal tries to slog it across the line, top edge goes up in the air, Ganguly comes running in to take a simple catch at mid on, tumbles down but the ball stays safely in the hands, Sohal is gone after enjoying quite a few chances, Agarkar strikes first ball! Sohal c Ganguly b Agarkar 25(17) <6s-3>
9.29.2 Hodge to Katich, out Caught by Saha at deep mid wicket!! High full toss on the stumps, Katich whacks it towards deep mid wicket, Saha times his jump well, takes a real stunning catch at the edge of the fence, now Katich can never forget this, it's take sometime for him to get over this, beauty! Katich c Saha b Hodge 34(28) <4s-3 6s-1>
14.114.1 Ishant to Yuvraj, out Caught by Hodge at sweeper cover!! Soft dismissal, full outside the off stump, Yuvraj gets forward and drives it on the rise, fails to clear the sweeper cover fielder, holed out in the deep, Yuvraj can't believe it, that was a loose shot without any intent, Ishant strikes first ball! Yuvraj c Hodge b Ishant 14(16) <4s-1>
DROPPED
Over Event
1.31.3 Dinda to Sohal, 1 run, catch dropped!! Regulation chance this time, short and wide outside the off stump, Sohal slaps it straight to cover, straight in and straight out, Saha the guilty on that occasion!
1.41.4 Dinda to Katich, no run, angled across, Katich goes on the backfoot and defends it straight to the fielder at cover point 1.4 Dinda to Katich, wide, down the leg side this time, wide again 1.3 Dinda to Sohal, 1 run, catch dropped!! Regulation chance this time, short and wide outside the off stump, Sohal slaps it straight to cover, straight in and straight out, Saha the guilty on that occasion! 1.2 Dinda to Sohal, no run, the pitch has gained some pace it seems? Strange indeed, banged in short and fizzes through, Sohal tries to pull, mistimed wide of the bowler, Dinda does well to stretch to his left, sticks a hand at it, almost clung onto that one, wonderful effort! 1.1 Dinda to Sohal, no run, beautiful comeback now, length ball on the stumps and shapes away a trifle, Sohal goes nowhere with his feet, almost edged it to the keeper, beaten all ends up on that occasion 1.1 Dinda to Sohal, wide, poor start, too wide outside the off stump, rightly called so Ashok Dinda, right-arm fast medium, will share the new ball
4.24.2 Gayle to Sohal, 2 runs, Sohal tries to slog sweep, top edge goes miles up in the air, the fielder covers a lot of ground, back pedals but fluffs it again, another missed chance, tough but you need to take these, catch dropped!!

3.23.2 Dinda to Sohal, SIX!!, full outside the off stump, Sohal backs away and frees his arms, swings it high over covers for a biggie, cleanly struck!
3.33.3 Dinda to Sohal, SIX!!, banged in short, Sohal stays back and slaps it hard, cracked over point for a six again, he is hitting them well here, wanting to make full use of the dropped chance, he has to go for the kill now! Score as many as possible in the first six overs
3.53.5 Dinda to Katich, SIX!!, Now that is a beauty! Overpitched on the stumps and Katich gets under it nicely before hoisting it miles over long on for a massive six, Dinda under the hammer, that went a long way indeed, 94 meters!
4.34.3 Gayle to Sohal, SIX!!, back of a length delivery on the middle and leg, Sohal backs away outside the leg stump and hammers it over mid wicket for a biggie, clean hit again!
