19.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Just over! Nicholas Pooran has done it and Punjab almost threw it away once again but have found a way to get over the line. Tossed up on off, Pooran comes down the track and hits it over long on. Morris runs to his right and jumps but the ball is well away from him and over the ropes. PUNJAB WIN BY 8 WICKETS!

19.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to KL Rahul, OUT! RUN OUT! Gayle is well short of his crease and Punjab now need 1 off the final ball. Floated ball on off, Rahul drives it to cover and calls for a run. Gayle is neither the youngest nor the quickest. They take off for a run but the throw at the keeper's end is a good one by Padikkal. De Villiers whips the bails off and Gayle is well short.

19.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to KL Rahul, Another dot! Flat and short around off, Rahul punches it uppishly but cannot find the gap. It is to point.

19.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Chris Gayle, Another dot! 2 needed in 4 now. Loopy ball pitching outside the tramline, outside off. Gayle leaves it thinking it to be wide but it is not as it spun in after pitching. Look of disbelief from the Universe Boss.

18.6: Chris Jordan to Chris Morris, Single to end the over! 10 off it. Not bad from CJ! On middle and leg, Morris milks it to long on and keeps the strike. A very good day at the office for Jordan as well. Does not finish his full quota of 4 but has done pretty well in his 3 overs!

18.5: Chris Jordan to Chris Morris, Good smart comeback from Jordan. He sees Morris move away from his stumps so he bowls a yorker wide outside off. Morris is too far away and does not hit.

17.5: Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, OUT! Caught! This over might as well be the game changing over in this game. First de Villiers and now Kohli, Shami has given his skipper what he would have dreamed of. A very well-disguised slower short ball around the body. Kohli looks to pull but he is way too early in his stroke. The ball hits the back part of his bat and lobs to the front and right of the keeper. Rahul runs in and dives to take a stunning catch.

17.4: Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, Around off, Kohli drives it wide of sweeper cover and gets a couple.

17.3: Mohammed Shami to AB de Villiers, OUT! Caught! Shami strikes and this is a big wicket for Punjab! This might as well make a difference of 15-20 runs in the total. A very full ball on off, de Villiers looks to smoke it over long off but he hits it off the lower half of his bat. It goes high in the air and just about goes past the 30-yard circle. Deepak Hooda settles under it and takes a simple catch. He is a good fielder and was never going to drop this.

17.2: Mohammed Shami to AB de Villiers, Very well bowled by Shami! Slower ball on a length outside off, de Villiers swings but gets deceived by the slowness of this delivery and misses.
