He however doesn't sail it over the ropes and the ball goes straight into the hands of the deep mid-wicket fielderwhere Abhishek Sharma takes it over the head. The umpires want to check whether the ball is above the waist height of the batter. The Ball Tracking comes up and the technology saves the batter as the ball is marginally above the batter's waist. It is a No Ball.

The playoff spots may be locked in, but there's still some drama left as teams battle to determine the final sequencing. A few more crucial league matches stand between us and the definitive rankings. Next up, Punjab Kings will take on Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. PBKS, currently sitting second, will be eager to grab a win and further cement their place in the top two. Meanwhile, DC, already out of the playoff race, will be playing for pride. The first ball is set to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but don’t miss the thrilling build-up and analysis an hour before. Until then, stay safe and take care!
Harshal Patel (3-0-37-0) to wrap the proceedings with the final over.
Lungi Ngidi is the last batter in for RCB.
Yash Dayal is in at 10 now.
SRH skipper, Pat Cummins (3-0-27-1) to bowl the penultimate over. Also, SRH have been penalised for not completing their overs on time. But it barely matters to them now. That being said, an extra fielder will have to be kept inside the 30-yards.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is in at 9 now.
Tim David is in at number 8 now.
Krunal Pandya is in at number 7 for RCB!
Romario Shepherd is in at 6 now.
Strategic Break! The previous over was the first one of this innings without a boundary, and it has come at a good time for Sunrisers Hyderabad. They will feel the pressure is back on the batters now, but they still need to be smart in the last five overs and execute their plans well. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will still feel that 65 runs off the last 5 overs with 7 wickets in hand is still gettable, but they cannot afford another over like that till the end. It is going to be a thrilling finish to this game. Don't go anywhere!
Jaydev Unadkat is back on. He has conceded 21 runs in his two overs.
Jitesh Sharma is the next man in.
Rajat Patidar comes out to bat now. He is the Impact Sub for RCB, replacing Suyash Sharma.
A slight halt as Phil Salt is down on the ground. Cramp? Looks like it. The physio is helping him out with some stretching exercises on the right leg. Meanwhile, Salt gulps some pickle juice as well. He is eventually back on his feet and looks fine to continue. Nitish Kumar Reddy is into the attack now.
Mayank Agarwal walks out to bat at 3 for RCB! Also, a change in bowling as Harshal Patel (1-0-11-0) replaces Eshan Malinga.
Strategic Break! Royal Challengers Bengaluru have scored 72 runs in the Powerplay without losing a wicket, although they got lucky on a couple of occasions. This is exactly what they wanted, and these two will look to keep going at this rate as they have a lot of firepower in the batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad need to pick up wickets to stop the momentum and slow things down a bit to put the pressure back on RCB. An exciting phase of cricket awaits us. Also, Harsh Dubey to bowl after the break.
Is that out or a No Ball? A big moment in the game. Phil Salt is not going anywhere, and the on-field umpires discuss among themselves before it is sent upstairs. The Ball Tracking shows that it is above the waist of the batter by 0.3 centimeters and is a No Ball. Margins, Margins!
Jaydev Unadkat to share the attack.
Halt! The physio comes in for a mandatory concussion check as Phil Salt got hit on the helmet. We are good to go again.
