Haryana vs Karnataka Match Stats

Full and pitching outside off, Smaran Ravichandran steers it down to long on for an easy single.

Not that full in length, just a yard ahead of the good length, on off, Shreyas Gopal leans on and eases it wide of backward point for another run.

Easily rotates the strike again! Length, around off, punched down to long on for one more.

Just a bit of drama towards the close. Landed outside off, a touch short, Shreyas Gopal attempted to paddle it around the corner, but could not quite find the gap. The ball hit his pads and lobbed up to the keeper, who claimed the catch. The appeal was referred upstairs as the umpires wanted to check whether the ball lobbed off the boot into the keeper's gloves. The third umpire first gets the angle from square leg which is inconclusive but then, the angle from the other side clearly shows the ball bouncing first, then hitting the pad and eventually lobbing to the keeper. NOT OUT is the decision.

Fuller, outside off, Gopal drives it straight to short extra cover.

Outside off, Shreyas dabs it to the right of short third for a single.

Overpitched on middle, Shreyas drills it down to long on and rotates the strike.

That's some prodigious turn! Landing right on of the cracks around off, and turning sharply into the batter, Smaran Ravichandran is flummoxed with the turn and bounce, and just gets pinged on the pad trying to work it across.

Fuller and fractionally outside off, kept out by Smaran.

Only if Haryana had some more runs to play with! The ball is now turning a mile. Flighted, outside off, Smaran Ravichandran got a long way across and looked to flick, but missed and was hit on the pads. The keeper and the bowler appealed for LBW, as the ball deflected off the pads behind the keeper. The batters kept running but the umpire showed no interest in the appeal. Ankit Kumar decided to take it upstairs and Ball Tracking shows the impact also to be umpire's call and even the hitting of the ball on the wickets. Review is not lost but Haryana will feel a bit let down. Meanwhile, amidst all that confusion, two runs were taken. Leg byes signalled.

FOUR! What a shot. A tad short, around off, Smaran goes back, uses the pace of the bowler and just punches it between backward point and short third!

A short ball again, around off, punched back to the bowler.

FOUR! Gee, that's some shot from Shreyas Gopal! Anuj Thakral bowls it from a wider angle, but overcooks it and bowls it too full outside off, Shreyas Gopal goes deep inside the crease, knows that the cover fielder is in the ring, and simply lofts it over it for a boundary.

Length, on the stumps, worked to mid-wicket.

FOUR! Easy pickings! Not that full and not short by any means, around off on that in-between length. Shreyas Gopal lets the ball arrive and chips it on the rise, to long off for a boundary.

Bounced out now, around off, Shreyas Gopal swivels and pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.

WIDE. Way down the leg side, Smaran Ravichandran has nothing to do with it. Good stop by the keeper diving to his right.

Full, just outside off, Gopal shows the full face of the bat and drives it towards mid off.

On a length, outside off, angling in, Shreyas backs away, opens the face of his bat and guides it straight to point. 11 from the over.

Full and flat, turning in from outside off, Smaran Ravichandran hangs back and tucks it to the leg side.

Nice and full, around off, Smaran Ravichandran leans on it and clips it to mid-wicket.

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A pearler from Nishant Sindhu! Stays over the stumps, and dishes out a fuller-length delivery. Lands it on the money, right on one of those cracks which produces sharp grip and turn into the batter. Smaran Ravichandran commits on the front foot and tries to access his flick shot to the leg side. But he is totally beaten by the turn which creates a fair bit of gap between the bat and the pad. It is enough for the ball to sneak through and clatter the wickets. Smaran Ravichandran departs after playing a top-class knock of 76 (94). A little too late for Haryana as they get the fifth wicket.

Darted in full, on middle and off, Abhinav Manohar blocks it out to point. 

Tossed up, on off, Manohar drives it to long off for a single and gets off the mark. 

Very full, at the toes, Gopal flicks it to the right of long on and gets two more runs. Karnataka just need 10 more runs to win now.

Just a yard behind fuller length, on the stumps, Abhinav Manohar hangs back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Closer to the body, on middle and drifting on leg, Shreyas Gopal goes deep in the crease and pulls it off the toe end to widish mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

FOUR! Shot! A good effort, but in vain! Just outside off on a length, this is guided away to deep third. The fielder from the inner ring gives it a long chase to the deep. He slides and flicks the ball back into the playing area. Now, the question is whether his feet were in contact with the rope while the ball in hand. A bit of good effort or presence of mind from Amit Rana as he lifts his right leg in the air, but his left shoe is a bit of touch and go. Split-screen angles come up now to scrutinize it. The TV umpire checks thoroughly and confirms that he had the ball in his hand while his left boot contacted the boundary rope. 

Full at the stumps, Shreyas Gopal taps it to mid off. 

Tossed right up, on off, Gopal drives it on the full but straight to cover.

Short and drifting into the pads, Shreyas Gopal turns it around to square leg for a single. Karnataka just two runs away now.

SCORES ARE LEVEL NOW! Sumit rolls his fingers and takes the pace off, bowls a slower bumper outside off, Shreyas Gopal waits for it and creates room for himself by backing away. Taps it to the cover-point gap for a single.

KARNATAKA ARE THROUGH TO THE GRAND FINALE! Kumar strays on the pads, on a length, Abhinav Manohar misses to glance it away. It pins on the thigh pad and deflects toward the deep fine region. They cross! With this, the defending champions, Haryana are knocked out!
