Score: 204/9

Varun Chakaravarthy, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.5 Mitchell Starc to Harshit Rana, out Russell Run Out!! Phew! What drama! Russell is run-out at the striker's end but Starc gestures to Faf that he heard a noise. So Delhi Capitals review for a caught behind. Mind you, Starc was on a hat-trick and was in search of his hat-trick. Faf obliges and the third umpire is called in once again. Full delivery around off, Rana stays leg-side and throws his bat on the drive, misses and Russell tries to sneak in a bye, but Porel was ready for it with his one glove removed, takes aim and hits the target. Russell was well short of the crease. Russell run out (Abishek Porel) 17(9) [4s-2 6s-1]
Mitchell Starc to Harshit Rana, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!
Harshit Rana, right handed bat, comes to the crease
19.4 Mitchell Starc to Anukul Roy, out Caught by Chameera!! Oh my! Chameera might have won the catch of the tournament. Most of his team mates are stunned. But they run across to mob the Sri Lankan. Starc misses the yorker and offers a half volley on the pads, Anukul makes a great connection with his whip and the ball was sailing over the rope near backward square leg, Chameera runs to his left and flings himself sideways, stretches both hands and manages to hang on. Even Chameera was a bit surprised after completing the catch and took a few seconds to get up. That ball was travelling and destined to go over the rope but Chameera's fine effort not only saved six but only got Starc a wicket. Anukul Roy c Chameera b Mitchell Starc 0(1)
Mitchell Starc to Anukul Roy, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Anukul Roy, left handed bat, comes to the crease
19.3 Mitchell Starc to Powell, out Lbw!! This is classic Starc. He keeps it full and straight from round the wicket, Powell is rooted to the crease and is beaten for pace, the ball beats his bat and strikes him on the back pad. The impact was in front of the stumps and ball-tracking showed it to be smashing into leg-stump. Powell took the review but started walking after the initial replays. Powell lbw b Mitchell Starc 5(5) [4s-1]
Mitchell Starc to Powell, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
Kolkata review! Powell is given out LBW. Now he decides to challenge the onfield call. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball-tracking shows it to be hitting leg-stump. OUT
19.2 Mitchell Starc to Russell, leg byes, 1 run, full and angling down leg, Russell was backing away and is cramped for room, misses the glance and the ball brushed the pad on the way to Porel. The umpire signals a wide but Delhi get it overturned
Delhi review! This is for another wide call. Starc suggests it brushed the pad on the way to Porel. Faf obliges and sends it upstairs. UltraEdge shows a small spike when the ball is next to the pad. Wide cancelled.
Russell vs Starc in T20s (before today): 55 off 23, no dismissal, SR: 239.13
19.2 Mitchell Starc to Russell, wide, slower short ball, Russell ducks under and it is called a wide for height. Delhi Capitals have reviewed it. The third umpire is having a look. The onfield decision stays and they lose the review
19.1 Mitchell Starc to Russell, SIX, that's huge. Starc comes round the wicket and misses the yorker, serves a juicy full toss and Russell feasts on it, pumps it straight down the ground and sends it sailing for a 106-meter six. He loved that..
Mitchell Starc [3.0-0-35-1] is back into the attack
