Chris Morris delivered in style to help Rajasthan Royals defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.
Kolkata managed to post only 133 for nine in 20 overs, on a Wankhede pitch where the pacers looked to dish out more cutters than usual.
The South African all-rounder was effective at the death, sending back names like Andre Russell (9) and Dinesh Karthik (25) in the same over.
Tripathi started a run and Morgan also wasn't clear in making a call. Morris quickly grabbed the ball and dislodged the bails to inflict the run-out.
Kolkata, who have suffered three defeats so far, introduced one change, giving Shivam Mavi a chance in place of Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
Pietersen said there is no room for delay in T20 cricket since it is an entertainment package that is supposed to be short and sharp.
Faf du Plessis' magnificent 95 not out and Deepak Chahar's impressive four-wicket haul powered CSK to an 18-run win over KKR on Wednesday night.
KKR captain Eoin Morgan said that the early five wickets came back to haunt the side even after the fight from the lower middle-order.
Man of the match Nitish Rana said he backed himself and was looking to hit the balls if it was in his slot.
In IPL 2019, Harbhajan at Chepauk averaged 15.18 with the ball and conceded runs at an economy rate of 5.96.
His exploits with the bat and ball had given KKR multiple options in the past but the West Indian was far from his best in 2020 and was also called for suspect action.
KKR's Eoin Morgan has revealed the two names who will open the batting for Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming edition of the IPL.
Eoin Morgan further said the ICC is not doing enough to accommodate the countries which are losing players to private leagues.
The 40-year-old, who skipped the IPL in Dubai last year, was bought by the two-time IPL champions at his base price of Rs 2 crore after he had gone unsold in the first round
Morgan went through a fielding drill at the start of training at the MCA Stadium on Thursday before declaring himself unfit.
Chasing 318 for a win, England top-order got off to a spectacular start against a new-look Indian bowling attack before debutant Prasidh Krishna and Shradul Thakur seized the momentum sharing seven wickets between them to derail the England innings.
England have already lost the Test and T20Is series and the Eoin Morgan-led team, who are the reigning world champions in the ODIs, would be desperate to stamp their authority in the format and sign off with some pride.
The T20 World Cup is scheduled to be hosted by India in October-November this year and Morgan expects English cricketers to take full advantage of the IPL.
England lost the fifth and final T20 to India by 36 runs. The home side had racked up 224/2 in 20 overs but Morgan's boys could respond with 188/8 in their allotted 20 overs.
KL Rahul, who has been struggling to get big scores on the board, was dropped to accommodate pacer T Natarajan.
