    Umar Gul to Pathan
    what a way to finish! Yusuf has done it in style, chips it way over square leg for a big six, he's turned this match around in a trice and stands at the non-striker's end and flexes his muscles at his team-mates. They've plucked the chestnuts out of the fire here. In the semi-finals for sure now, Rajasthan. And they truly deserve to be the first team to do so.

    Umar Gul to Pathan
    ripper, round the wicket and short again, he stands and pulls with serious power, steaming through midwicket for four, what a tournament he's having
    16.2
    1
    Umar Gul to Pathan
    another one, short again and down leg, Gul is probably trying too hard to bounce him here, Yusuf waits and watches
    16.2
    1
    Umar Gul to Pathan
    short and wide outside leg, Yusuf doesn't need to touch that (though he tries to pull), wide called
    16.1
    4
    Umar Gul to Pathan
    backs away and inside out loft over extra cover for four, Yusuf can't do anything wrong tonight, bounces at extra cover and goes for four
    15.6
    2
    Sharma to Kaif
    rocks back and pushes through covers, and they've scampered two again, how can Kolkata allow that, the fielder is slow and the throw isn't too straight, Kaif is speeding as if it's his last game, Rajasthan are taking the mickey out of Kolkata here, Eden has been silenced
    15.5
    0
    Sharma to Kaif
    short one this time, he comes down the track but can only pat it tamely to point
    15.4
    1
    Sharma to Pathan
    attempted yorker turns into a yorker, Yusuf pushes that to mid-off and takes off but Debabrata doesn't even take a shot at the stumps, Ishant is furious, Kolkata's fielding has fallen to pieces here
    15.3
    1
    Sharma to Kaif
    short of a length, angling in from off to middle, flicked away off his hips for a single
    15.2
    2
    Sharma to Kaif
    shimmies down the track and lofts to extra cover, it falls short of the fielder and they hurry through for a couple
    15.1
    0
    Sharma to Kaif
    tapped to point
    14.6
    1
    Dinda to Kaif
    jumps down the track again, slapped away down the ground but the long-on is back now, retains strike
    14.5
    2
    Dinda to Kaif
    pulls away a short one to midwicket, not that well timed but he picks up two, this is a walk in the park now
    14.4
    0
    Dinda to Kaif
    short of a length, beaten this time, tries to angle it down to third man but misses it
    14.3
    4
    Dinda to Kaif
    Kaif on a roll now, charges out and that's driven hard down the ground for another, the field is in and he's making most of it, hat-trick of fours, it's all too easy now
    14.2
    4
    Dinda to Kaif
    down the track again, smashed a full one past point for another four, he's in a hurry now, Kaif is turning it on now
    14.1
    4
    Dinda to Kaif
    down the track and he's squeezed that through covers for four, it was uppish but the short extra cover couldn't latch on to it despite the dive, the mid-off is in and that's running away
    13.6
    1
    Shukla to Kaif
    another missed chance, Kolkata aren't fielding anywhere near their best here, tapped to point and Butt misses another direct hit, Kaif would have been out of the crease again, these two batsmen are being reckless with their running and Kolkata are not capitalising
    13.5
    0
    Shukla to Kaif
    127.2kph, full and straight, pushed back to the bowler
    13.4
    1
    Shukla to Pathan
    he's tired after all those twos, drives half-heartedly to midwicket for a single
