Overs3.6
Score34 - 1

S Kuggeleijn to KL Rahul, FIVE WIDES! A very good over has been spoiled by this one and he will have to bowl an extra ball too. Kuggeleijn tries to angle the ball in but this time he pitches it on middle and the ball keeps going away. Rahul looks to pull but it goes beyond his reach and the reach of the keeper to who makes a full length dive to his left but cannot get his hands to it.
