Jonny Bairstow c Mohammed Siraj b Shahbaz Ahmed 66 29 4 7 227.59

9.1

Shahbaz Ahmed to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket immediately after the break, keeps happening every time. The break just disturbs the tempo. Shahbaz Ahmed has hunted down the danger man. Serves it full and around off, Jonny Bairstow advances down the track for a big shot but only manages to slice it off the outer edge to backward point. Two fielders converge and Mohammed Siraj takes the catch. End of a very entertaining knock from the Englishman and it's important here for Punjab to not lose the momentum.

Shikhar Dhawan b Glenn Maxwell 21 15 2 1 140

4.6

Glenn Maxwell to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Glenn Maxwell strikes and does the job for Bangalore. He serves an arm ball, a bit short and around off, Shikhar Dhawan kneels down for the sweep shot but is early into it. The ball arrives late and gets a safe passage to reach the stumps. Dhawan is gone and Bangalore have managed to break the opening partnership.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa c Harshal Patel b Wanindu Hasaranga 1 3 0 0 33.33

6.4

Wanindu Hasaranga to Bhanuka Rajapaksa, OUT! CAUGHT! Wanindu Hasaranga wins the battle of the Lankans. Flights this one up and lands it full and outside off, Bhanuka Rajapaksa finds the room to free his arms and attempts to go inside-out over the cover region. But the ball spins away to take the outside edge and Harshal Patel takes a decent catch at short third man. Bangalore will need to keep chipping away at the wickets as Punjab bat deep and have some dangerous batters in their ranks.

Liam Livingstone c Dinesh Karthik b Harshal Patel 70 42 5 4 166.67

19.2

Harshal Patel to Liam Livingstone, OUT! Caught! Liam Livingstone departs and takes a few biggies along with him. A full toss, on middle at 135 clicks, Liam Livingstone tries to spoon it behind the keeper but fails to get the right connection. It loops behind Dinesh Karthik who runs and secures the catch. This wicket will make a difference of at least 10-15 runs to the final total.

Mayank Agarwal (C) c Wanindu Hasaranga b Harshal Patel 19 16 3 0 118.75

14.6

Harshal Patel to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! CAUGHT! This is superb from Harshal Patel! His go-to delivery, the slower one at 122 kph, it is short and outside off. Agarwal is too early as he tries to ramp it away. The ball spoons straight to backward point where Wanindu Hasaranga takes it. Bangalore break the stand at a very crucial time.

Jitesh Sharma (W) b Wanindu Hasaranga 9 5 2 0 180

16.2

Wanindu Hasaranga to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! Sound of timber! The magician from Sri Lanka continues to impress! He bowls it slower through the air and lands a full ball around off. It's the googly which is not picked by the batter. Jitesh Sharma winds up for the big shot but he gets beaten by the slowness of the delivery. He is early with the swing of his bat and gets bowled. A massive setback for Punjab as they lose one of their power-hitters.

Harpreet Brar c Dinesh Karthik b Harshal Patel 7 5 0 1 140

17.3

Harshal Patel to Harpreet Brar, OUT! Caught behind! Harshal Patel switches to over the wicket and delivers it short and wide outside off at 135.1 clicks. Harpreet Brar throws his bat at it but it takes the toe end and goes to the keeper. Dinesh Karthik collects and appeals. The bowler is not appealing much. The finger now goes up and Brar exits the scene after hitting a biggie. Also, this is the 200th catch for DK in T20s!

Rishi Dhawan c Glenn Maxwell b Harshal Patel 7 3 0 1 233.33

19.4

Harshal Patel to Rishi Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan holes out! Glenn Maxwell makes no mistake this time near the fence. Fuller in length and wide outside off, Rishi tries to dispatch it over long on but doesn't get the desired distance. Wickets continue to tumble in the final over.

Rahul Chahar run out (Glenn Maxwell / Dinesh Karthik) 2 2 0 0 100

19.6

Harshal Patel to Rahul Chahar, OUT! Run out on the last ball! Patel serves a low full toss on middle, Rahul Chahar forces it down to long on and scampers back for the second run. Glenn Maxwell attacks the ball in the deep and sends a flat throw to the keeper. Dinesh Karthik breaks the stumps and finds Rahul Chahar short of the crease. The third umpire confirms the same. Punjab end on 209/9!

Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Virat Kohli c Rahul Chahar b Kagiso Rabada 20 14 2 1 142.86

3.2

Kagiso Rabada to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Big wicket for Punjab. Sharp delivery from Rabada, around leg on the shorter side, Kohli steps back and tries to glance but fails to make a proper connection. It balloons off his thigh pad to short fine leg where the fielder (Rahul Chahar) catches the ball. Rabada is appealing, the finger stays down. He asks his skipper to take the DRS. The UltraEdge shows that the ball has clipped the gloves of Kohli before shooting up from the top half of his thigh pad. Rabada strikes and removes Kohli who was looking in fine form.

Faf du Plessis (C) c Jitesh Sharma b Rishi Dhawan 10 8 2 0 125

4.2

Rishi Dhawan to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Rishi Dhawan lands it on a length just outside off, gets it to shape away a bit, Faf du Plessis dances down the track for a big heave across the line but fails to connect cleanly. Jitesh Sharma catches the ball and runs forward in celebration. The umpire is not interested and the keeper immediately signals to his skipper to take the DRS. Mayank obliges and the UltraEdge confirms the departure of du Plessis. Bangalore have now lost both their openers.

Rajat Patidar c Shikhar Dhawan b Rahul Chahar 26 21 1 2 123.81

10.6

Rahul Chahar to Rajat Patidar, OUT! Patidar holes out! The extra ball brings a wicket for Chahar. Floated delivery, outside off and turning away, Rajat Patidar could have gone with the spin but he decides to pull it against the spin. He ends up dragging it off the bottom edge and Shikhar Dhawan shuffles across to his right from long on to secure the catch. Out comes the thigh-five! The dangerous partnership for Punjab has been broken. 106 needed off 54 balls.

Mahipal Lomror c Shikhar Dhawan b Rishi Dhawan 6 3 0 1 200

4.5

Rishi Dhawan to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! CAUGHT! The aggression gets the better of Lomror! Rishi Dhawan delivers a shortish delivery, around middle at 125.9 kph, Mahipal Lomror runs down the track and blazes his pull shot across the line. It's aerial and goes straight into the hands of Shikhar Dhawan at mid-wicket. The two Dhawans have combined for a wicket and Rishi is all pumped up!

Glenn Maxwell c Arshdeep Singh b Harpreet Brar 35 22 3 1 159.09

11.2

Harpreet Brar to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! Maxwell departs! It's falling apart from Bangalore! The other set batter is also out of here. Flatter delivery, full and on middle, Glenn Maxwell steps back to smash it over extra cover but ends up hitting it a lot straighter. Arshdeep Singh takes the catch at long off and he also celebrates with a thigh-five. Harpreet Brar also does the thigh-five! Punjab have roared back in this match.

Dinesh Karthik (W) c Bhanuka Rajapaksa b Arshdeep Singh 11 11 1 0 100

14.5

Arshdeep Singh to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT! That's the final nail in the coffin for Bangalore as Dinesh Karthik is sent packing. A wide yorker outside off, Karthik tries to squeeze it out with an angled blade but ends up handing a simple catch to Bhanuka Rajapaksa at short third man. DK exits and we can see glum faces in the Bangalore dugout. 90 needed off 31 balls.

Shahbaz Ahmed c Bhanuka Rajapaksa b Kagiso Rabada 9 14 0 0 64.29

15.4

Kagiso Rabada to Shahbaz Ahmed, OUT! TAKEN! Ahmed goes now and that should be the game for Punjab! Short of a length, outside off and Rabada rolls his fingers on it. Ahmed looks to cut but gets a thick outside edge to point and Bhanuka Rajapaksa takes yet another simple catch.

Harshal Patel c Mayank Agarwal b Kagiso Rabada 11 7 2 0 157.14

18.1

Kagiso Rabada to Harshal Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Outstanding catch from the skipper! This is full and around off. Patel looks to go downtown but mistimes it completely and the balloons in the night sky. Mayank Agarwal runs across to his left from the cover region and takes a tumbling catch. This will help Punjab's NRR a lot.

Wanindu Hasaranga c Harpreet Brar b Rahul Chahar 1 3 0 0 33.33

16.4

Rahul Chahar to Wanindu Hasaranga, OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant from Brar in the deep! Tossed up, on middle, spinning away as well. Hasaranga gets on his knee to slog-sweep and hits it pretty well. Harpreet Brar at deep mid-wicket judges the flight perfectly and catches it. His momentum was dragging him over the ropes so he lobs it over, comes back in and completes the catch. The third umpire wants to check and it was quite tight but Harpreet Brar never touched the fence. Punjab have been excellent on the field. Mohammed Siraj is in next.
