    Prasidh to Gowtham
    top edged over the keeper! But KKR won't mind. The home boys win, and stay alive in IPL 2018! Rajasthan Royals are eliminated.
    19.5
    1
    Prasidh to Klaasen
    yorker on leg stump, and all he can do is bunt it down the ground. Just one ball left
    19.4
    1
    Prasidh to Gowtham
    slower ball, but wide outside off. Forces him to reach at it, and all he can do is slice it to first slip
    19.3
    0
    Prasidh to Gowtham
    yorker on leg stump, and Gowtham moved to the offside to try and paddle it fine. He misses, and the ball goes down the leg side. They want a wide, but not given. Probably because Gowtham moved around so much
    19.2
    2
    Prasidh to Gowtham
    full outside off, and he slices this drive over cover. In the air for a while, but lands safe. Russell at sweeper cover cleans up
    19.1
    0
    Prasidh to Gowtham
    full outside off, and Gowtham misses the big attempted slog! He expected the ball to angle in, but it held its line. KKR are through if Krishna can bowl five legal deliveries
    18.6
    0
    Russell to Klaasen
    short! And the umpire says 'dot ball!' Klaasen ain't happy, but the cal stands. He did try to pull, but was nowhere near the shot. Royals need 34 off the final over
    18.5
    2
    Russell to Klaasen
    low full toss on middle, and that's been muscled to the man at cow corner. They're swinging hard, but just not connecting. One ball to go...
    18.4
    1
    Russell to Gowtham
    good length on off, and the batsman cannot connect with the pull! The delivery takes some extra bounce, and hits him above his waist
    18.3
    1
    Russell to Klaasen
    full on off, and he backs away to drive it over cover. He can only play it along the ground to long off
    18.2
    1
    Russell to Gowtham
    yorker on off, and the drive takes the bat's outside edge. It's running down to third man, but the fielders gets behind the ball
    18.1
    1
    Russell to Klaasen
    full on middle and leg, and Klaasen goes for the big shot. Misses the slog, as the ball comes off the bat's inside half
    17.6
    W
    Prasidh to Binny
    swept to square leg! Just three off the over. It was a dipping slower ball on off, and Binny tried to sweep. Plays it eventually with one hand, and it's completely out of control. Sliced to Lynn
    17.5
    0
    Prasidh to Binny
    banged in short outside off, but he misses the pull! Two dots in a row. Binny was through his shot way too early
    17.4
    0
    Prasidh to Binny
    yorker, wide outside of. Binny tries to stick his bat out and glance it square, but he can't connect. Huuuuge roar at the Eden, says Varun!
    17.3
    1
    Prasidh to Klaasen
    overpitched on leg stump, and that's been driven inside out to Narine at mid off
    17.2
    2
    Prasidh to Klaasen
    good length just outside off, and he mistimes a slog towards deep midwicket. He gets the second because of the poor timing
    17.1
    0
    Prasidh to Klaasen
    starts off with the slower ball! Lands just inside the tram-lines and Klaasen can't connect with the attempted heave over cover. Ooo, close. Could've easily been called a wide
    16.6
    1
    Chawla to Klaasen
    good length outside off, and spinning into him. Punched off the back foot to long on for a walking single
    16.5
    W
    Chawla to Samson
    in the air! And "hear that roar", says Varun from the Eden Gardens! Searles holds on at long on and the crowd goes ballistic. It was full on off, and he went for the pull once again. This time he can only slice it, and that brings an end to Samson's innings
