19.4: Darshan Nalkande to Shashank Singh, EDGED AND FOUR! SCORES LEVEL! Punjab will take it with open arms. On a shade fuller length attacking the stumps, Shashank Singh swings the bat wildly to flick it over the leg side, but it catches the leading edge that flies over short third for a boundary. What an absolute turnover this has been, courtesy of the two youngsters.

19.3: Darshan Nalkande to Harpreet Brar, Slower one, on the back of a length, Harpreet Brar pulls it to deep square leg for a single. 5 off 3. Tighten your seatbelts, folks. This is going down to the wire.

19.2: Darshan Nalkande to Harpreet Brar, Oh, no! Another extra! Would you believe it? Wriddhiman Saha thinks otherwise and challenges the Umpire's decision. Nalkande bowls it short in length, on the leg stump line, Harpreet Brar arches back underneath the ball with his bat in the air. The ball carries to the keeper and the Umpire stretches it to signal it as a Wide. Replays come in from a couple of angles and the split-screen shows that it's not going over Brar's head. A fantastic review by Wriddhiman Saha as the on-field decision has been overturned now. But more importantly, a crucial dot delivery for Gujarat.

19.2: Darshan Nalkande to Harpreet Brar, WIDE! Oh, dear! Too short, over the top of the southpaw's head. Harpreet Brar fails to ramp it away and the Umpire signals for a Wide. Just 6 needed off the 5 legal deliveries now.

19.1: Darshan Nalkande to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! What a sea-saw of emotions here for the fans! Darshan Nalkande bowls a slower one on the back of a length, Ashutosh Sharma hits it uppishly with the bottom half of the hand and the ball dollies straight into the safe hands of Rashid Khan who is patrolling the long on boundary. He doesn't move an inch and takes an absolute sitter of a catch. Another twist in the story here. But what a scintillating knock from Ashutosh Sharma as he has provided a glimmer of hope for his team out of nowhere.

18.6: Harshal Patel to Shubman Gill, Risky but Shubman Gill does make it! Full and wide again, Gill advances down the pitch and hammers it on the full towards wide long off. Sam Curran runs across to his left from long off and puts in the dive before pushing the ball away. It is though pushed a bit too far and that allows the batters to sprint back or the third. The throw was at the bowler's end and the bails were taken off but the replays showed that the dive saved Gill.

18.4: Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Rahul Tewatia is inside Harshal Patel's head it seems. Full and wide, gets it right this time but Tewatia reads it well, moves early past the off stump and sweeps it on the full to deep backward square leg for four more runs.

18.2: Harshal Patel to Rahul Tewatia, SIX! Rahul Tewatia just loves playing against Punjab! Another low full toss, this time on the stumps, Tewatia stays a bit low and wrists it nonchalantly over deep square leg for a maximum. That was timed to perfection.

Brar comes charging in from the deep and puts a big dive forward to grab it with both hands. Shankar departs after a sluggish knock and it might just turn out to be a positive thing for Gujarat here.

19.5: Darshan Nalkande to Shashank Singh, PUNJAB WIN A FAMOUS GAME HERE AT AHMEDABAD, and it has been the two youngsters who have turned the tables for them absolutely out of nowhere! On a fuller length, sliding down the leg stump line, Shashank Singh misses to flick it away and the ball brushes off his pads before trickling down to short fine. They take a leg bye and that will do it for Punjab. A review though, has been taken by Gujarat for LBW in their final resort. UltraEdge shows that the ball has clearly passed through the bat with no scratch, and the Ball Tracker confirms two greens as the ball misses to hit the stumps and also, the impact is outside leg. Punjab register their second win of the season and execute a huge upset against Gujarat in their backyard. Also, this has been the highest successful run chase in this edition of the Indian T20 League.
