19.2: Venkatesh Iyer to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! What have you done, Rahul? He loses his wicket at the absolute wrong time and Punjab's fate is still on a hinge. KL put in all the hard yards but he is unable to close the game out for his team. Around off and middle, on a length, not a lot of pace to work with for KL, who moves to the leg side and lofts this one towards long off. Shivam Mavi pouches this one safely in the deep. 4 needed from 4 balls!

19.1: Venkatesh Iyer to Shahrukh Khan, Outside off, on a length, Khan looks to slap it away but gets the toe-end of the bat to short third man for one. 4 needed from 5 now.

18.6: Shivam Mavi to KL Rahul, FOUR! Not how Mavi would have wanted to end the over and now, Punjab are very close to the finish line. A juicy full toss, around off, KL Rahul smacks this one over point and the ball bounces once, before going past the ropes. Just 5 more needed from the last 6 balls!

18.5: Shivam Mavi to Shahrukh Khan, Full this time, on off, jammed out through the mid on region for one.

18.4: Shivam Mavi to KL Rahul, A full toss, around off, KL eases this one down to long on for a single.

18.3: Shivam Mavi to KL Rahul, NOT OUT! A lifeline for Rahul and he will be hoping to make it count and take his team past the line. Another slower ball this time, around off, on a length, KL Rahul anticipates this one well and goes back, waits, and then thumps this one to the deep mid-wicket region. As soon as he has hit that, you know that it does not have enough to cross the ropes. Rahul Tripathi runs ahead from the deep, dives forward, gets his hands down and takes this one superbly. The on-field umpires just want to ensure that this is a clean catch as it could have bounced before he took it, or his hands could not have been underneath the ball when he took it. The TV umpire has a look at the replays and asks for different angles as it is hard to really make a decision based on one viewing. After having a few looks, the TV umpire feels that the ball was touching the ground. The batsmen didn't cross and it's a dot ball.

18.2: Shivam Mavi to KL Rahul, KL will feel like he missed out! A slower full toss, way outside off, Rahul gets low and looks to work this to the leg side but fails to connect.
- 4
18.1: Shivam Mavi to KL Rahul, EDGY FOUR! Fortune. Luck for KL and Punjab and this is a great start to the over. A full toss, around off, angling in, Rahul looks to drive it through the line, but the ball takes the outside edge, beats the short third man fielder's dive and runs away to the ropes.

17.6: Tim Southee to KL Rahul, Around off this time, slower too, shortish, KL Rahul waits for it and then looks to cut. But, only manages a thin outside edge, which finds Dinesh Karthik on the bounce. DK fumbles and they take one. The short fine leg fielder misses his shy at the bowler's end and KL Rahul wants one more but Khan has overrun and he denies the extra run. 15 more needed from 12 balls.
- 1
17.5: Tim Southee to Shahrukh Khan, Slower, back of a length, around off, Khan taps this to backward point. Rahul wants one and Khan hesitates, then, charges through. The fielder has a shy at the non-striker's end but misses.

17.4: Tim Southee to Shahrukh Khan, FOUR! That was hit with venom. So powerful. Around off on a length, Shahrukh Khan thumps this one very, very hard through covers and beats the fielder in the deep to his right.
- 1
17.3: Tim Southee to KL Rahul, Slower this time, on a length around off, pulled hard, but on the bounce to the man at long on. Just one.

17.2: Tim Southee to Shahrukh Khan, On the pads this time, whipped to fine leg for a single.
- 1
17.1: Tim Southee to KL Rahul, In between the two fielders! Should have been taken, really. On middle, on a length, Rahul paddles this one to the leg side but gets it away off the inner edge. Dinesh Karthik runs behind and the fielder from short fine leg runs ahead, but, there is no communication between these two and the ball lands in between them. One run.

Ends up missing the ball and finds his stumps shattered. Kolkata finish on 165/7!

19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Dinesh Karthik, Back of a length, around off, Dinesh Karthik rocks back and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. The fielder in the deep had fumbled slightly but no extra run was taken. A good over so far from Singh.

18.4: Mohammed Shami to Tim Seifert, OUT! This time it's a run out and Tim Seifert will have to depart. A near-yorker just outside off, Tim Seifert tries to be adventurous with his reverse-batted shot but misses. He is hit on the boot and the ball deflects on the leg side. Shami appeals but then realizes that the batsmen are looking to steal a run. He immediately attacks the ball, picks it up, turns and scores a direct hit at the bowler's end to find Tim Seifert short. Great athleticism shown by the fast bowler.
- 0
18.3: Mohammed Shami to Tim Seifert, Lovely deception from Shami! Slower one, on a length around middle, Tim Seifert attempts to power it over the leg side but misses. They attempt for a bye and KL Rahul misses his shy at the striker's end. Shami collects the ball and tries to knock the stump at his end but he misses as well. The batters cross again. Two byes in total.

17.4: Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! End of the Rana show this evening. Slower one does the trick for Arshdeep Singh. Short in length, around off at 116.9 kph, Nitish Rana probably picks it but still has not managed to generate enough power behind his attempted pull shot. It flies to the deep and Mayank Agarwal takes the catch safely near the fence, at deep mid-wicket.
- 4
17.3: Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Rana is displaying his full range here. Arshdeep bowls it full and around off at 135 clicks, Nitish Rana shuffles across the stumps, uses the pace of the bowler and spoons it over short fine leg for a boundary.
- 2
17.2: Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Rana, Use of the feet again! Fuller and on off, Rana walks forward and drives it through the line. He places it to the left of the deep cover fielder for a couple of runs.
- 6
17.1: Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Rana, SIX! Nitish Rana has decided to play his attacking shots now. Arshdeep Singh bowls it on a fuller length, wide outside off at 129 clicks, Rana walks across the stumps to get close to the delivery and smacks it all the way over covers. A great start to the over for Kolkata.
19.3: Venkatesh Iyer to Shahrukh Khan, DROPPED AND SIX! Oh wow! What a way to get the win for Punjab. It was very close between these two but KL Rahul's team has edged forward in this clash. It could have been another wicket but the fumble from the fielder in the deep means that Kolkata end up on the losing side. This is bowled slightly shorter, around off, Shahrukh Khan pumps this one hard towards the deep mid-wicket region, Rahul Tripathi in the deep, runs across to his left, takes the catch too but fumbles and drops the ball over the ropes. PUNJAB WIN BY 5 WICKETS!
