| 2.1 : 2.1: Arshdeep Singh to Devdutt Padikkal, SIX! Welcome into the attack Arshdeep Singh! Devdutt Padikkal, decides it is time to attack now. Skips down the track and this is angled into his pads, he flicks it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Arshdeep Singh to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Carved away! Fuller and outside off, Devdutt Padikkal looks to drive, this goes more off the outer half through point for a boundary. 10 from the first two balls. Arshdeep Singh under pressure. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Ravi Bishnoi to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! This time connects and bags a boundary! A little too full this time and on middle, Padikkal lofts it over mid on, no one behind and it is another boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Ravi Bishnoi to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! A boundary to end then! Bishnoi could have easily had a couple of wickets but ends up going for 10 runs. On middle, fuller, this is lofted over the bowler's head for a boundary in the long off region. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Mohammed Shami to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Good shot! This was too full and on the pads. Virat Kohli whips it through square leg and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Arshdeep Singh to Devdutt Padikkal, SIX! Freebie from Singh and that has been dispatched! A low full toss, on middle. Devdutt Padikkal smashes it straight down the ground for a biggie. Pressure straightaway on Arshdeep Singh. |

| 9.4 : 9.4: Moises Henriques to Virat Kohli, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! The pressure was building and something had to give. Punjab have finally got the breakthrough and the skipper of Bangalore has to head back. Kohli was finding it hard to get going after the Powerplay and he falls. Around off, on a length, the ball stays a touch low after hitting the deck, Kohli looks to heave across the line but the ball sneaks underneath his blade and crashes into the off pole. Punjab will look to make inroads now and snare |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Moises Henriques to Dan Christian, OUT! TAKEN! Two-in-two for Moises Henriques and Punjab have taken two very quickly. A golden duck for Dan Christian and the plan to send him up the order fails miserably. Outside off, on a length, there is width to play with and Christian decides to take it on. Slaps it, but more off the outer half of the blade towards backward point, where Sarfaraz Khan pouches this. Moises Henriques is on a Hat-trick too! |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Moises Henriques to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Moises Henriques is having a ball out in the middle as he gets his third.

This is served on a length, wider outside off, Devdutt Padikkal looks to slap it away to the off side but only manages an outside edge, which is held safely by KL Rahul behind the sticks. Bangalore are losing their way and they need a steady partnership now. |

| 14.2 : 14.2: Ravi Bishnoi to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! That is huge! Out of here! That is a tough shot on this wicket but Maxwell has made that look so easy. On middle, fuller, it is the googly, Maxwell heaves it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Ravi Bishnoi to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Down the ground now! Once again Maxwell has risen to the occasion for Bangalore! This is fuller and on middle, Maxwell thumps it over long on, once again with the turn as it is the googly. Goes all the way. |

| 18.1 : 18.1: Arshdeep Singh to AB de Villiers, SIX! WOW! What a shot! Right in the arc, full and on middle. AB de Villiers bends his back leg and powers it over long on for a maximum. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Arshdeep Singh to AB de Villiers, OUT! AB de Villiers is RUN OUT! Good piece of fielding from Sarfaraz Khan. Very full and on middle. AB de Villiers smashes it straight to covers and looks for a quick single. The fielder there, scores a direct hit at the bowler's end. The third umpire is brought in for a quick check and AB is found short of his crease. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Maxwell will look to finish the innings on a high! Short of a length, on off, pulled away to deep mid-wicket for a boundary. Despite a wicket, a good over for Bangalore as 16 comes off it. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Mohammed Shami to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! End of a wonderful knock from Maxwell! Mohammed Shami drags his length back a bit and bowls it outside off. Glenn Maxwell looks to pull but does not middle it. Hits it high and towards cover where Sarfaraz Khan takes a simple catch. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Mohammed Shami to Shahbaz Ahmed, SIX! THUMPED! Short and outside off. Shahbaz Ahmed stands tall and muscles it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Mohammed Shami to Shahbaz Ahmed, OUT! TIMBER! Shami gets his second wicket! This was pacy and full, around middle. Shahbaz Ahmed looks to paddle but fails to get any bat on it. The ball sneaks through and disturbs the stumps. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Mohammed Shami to George Garton, OUT! BOWLED! Mohammed Shami is on a Hat-Trick! This was pacier than the previous ball but same length and line. George Garton steps across and looks to paddle but misses and the ball hits the stumps behind.  |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, EDGY FOUR! The first of the run chase. Outside off, a touch short, KL looks to punch this one but the ball catches the outside edge and runs away to the third man fence. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, SIX! That is out of here! Massive shot. KL Rahul gets a biggie and the first one too! It was the slower one, 127 clicks, around off, KL Rahul anticipates well and thumps this one over deep mid-wicket. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: George Garton to Mayank Agarwal, SIX! BANG! Mayank Agarwal gets his first biggie too! Again, the slower delivery has been dispatched. Banged short on middle, Mayank Agarwal rocks back and whacks this one over deep square leg. |
| 4.1: Shahbaz Ahmed to KL Rahul, SIX! Shahbaz Ahmed is greeted into the attack with a biggie! Fuller, given loop, around off, KL Rahul smokes this one over the bowler for a massive six. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Shahbaz Ahmed to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Brilliant shot. Just waited a bit and opened the face of the bat to pierce the gap. Floated, outside off, Mayank Agarwal waits for it and times it through covers. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Dan Christian to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Brilliant shot! A full ball, angling down, on the pads. Mayank Agarwal gets low and whacks it over square leg for a boundary. |

| 10.5 : 10.5: Shahbaz Ahmed to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! There is the first one. May have come a lot later than Kohli would have liked but they now have a chance to build on this. Not sure if this was needed, having already seen a biggie in this over. KL Rahul comes down the track and Shahbaz Ahmed cleverly bowls it outside off, well outside off we should write. Rahul was made to chase for it. He does go after it but tries to hit it downtown, it goes off the top edge and it is an easy catch to Patel at shor |
| 12.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! TAKEN! That is a huge wicket and Pooran once again does not last for long in the middle! Punjab once again crumbling under pressure here. On the pads, the googly again. Pooran looks to play the slog-sweep but it goes off the top edge. Devdutt Padikkal at deep square leg takes an easy catch. 66 needed in 43 now. |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Mohammed Siraj to Mayank Agarwal, EDGY FOUR! Punjab won't mind how they come as long as they do! Outside off, Agarwal swings, it flies off the outside edge down to the third man fence for a welcome boundary. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Mohammed Siraj to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Markram joins the act now! He needed a boundary and finds it. Will this get him going? Full and outside off, this is hit through covers. It is in the gap and another boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! TAKEN! That is a huge, huge blow! The well-set Agarwal has been sent back to the pavilion. Mayank Agarwal was the guy Punjab would have wanted to stay there till the end but he falls at a crucial stage. Bangalore well and truly on top. Chahal weaves his magic yet again. This lands on middle, it holds its line and also straightens a touch. Agarwal looks to pull but this goes off the top edge over the keeper. Siraj at short third man takes a good catc |

| 15.5 : 15.5: Yuzvendra Chahal to Sarfaraz Khan, OUT! TIMBER! Wow, just wow! That is a tremendous delivery. An absolute beauty! Sarfaraz Khan must be wondering, why him? He is making a comeback into the side, against his former side, he would be wanting to prove a point but gets a gem. This lands around leg.
