PBKS

Hazlewood to Azmatullah, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! A spectacular one-handed grab by Jitesh Sharma and that's just emphasised how the day has gone for the RCB outfit. Shocked faces in the crowd as PBKS capsize to 101 all-out. On a length and holding its line outside off, Azmatullah swung across the line, he did swing with all his might and got a big outside edge, it was flying to his right, it was going high as well, but Jitesh Sharma threw himself at the ball and came up with a one-handed blinder. Azmatullah c Jitesh Sharma b Hazlewood 18(12) [4s-1 6s-1]

Shepherd to Jamieson, leg byes, FOUR, that's come off the arm and it lobs away towards the long leg boundary, banged in short and at the right-hander, Jamieson was caught up in an awkward position as he looked to fend it away
13.3
W
Shepherd to Harpreet Brar, out Bowled!! There's another wicket, the number nine goes down - back of a length and climbing onto the left-hander, has Harpreet hopping across on the dab, he can't get on top of the bounce, the ball grazes the inside edge, might've struck him on the left forearm and it then crashes into the off-pole. Rajat has been spot-on with the changes tonight and he's leading RCB into a dream finale. Harpreet Brar b Shepherd 4(11)
13.1

Shepherd to Azmatullah, FOUR, edged and four, back of a length and holding its line outside off, Azmatullah has a flash and gets a thick edge, flies wide of Jitesh Sharma and runs away to the ropes
12.3
6
Suyash Sharma to Azmatullah, SIX, a handy blow by Azmatullah - picked the wrong 'un, gets down low and then swipes it high over wide long-on, has enough to clear the fielder running across in the deep
10.4
Suyash Sharma to Harpreet Brar, no run, a loud shout, a celebratory run from Suyash, but umpire Michael Gough stays firm, RCB will review, has this pitched outside leg? Only that can save Harpreet here, looks like no bat, UltraEdge confirms the same. But it's pitched well outside leg, RCB have lost a review. Was pushed through quicker and Brar was pressing forward on the block
10.3
W
Suyash Sharma to Stoinis, out Bowled!! This is simply terrible, Suyash is having a ball and so do the RCB camp. It's another wrong 'un and it's another horrible swipe from Stoinis, was shaping to swing with the spin, misses it completely and the leg-stump takes a beating. RCB right on top in Mullanpur at the moment. Stoinis b Suyash Sharma 26(17) [4s-2 6s-2]
9.3
6
Krunal Pandya to Stoinis, SIX, hammered, Stoinis will continue to play his shots, coems down the pitch, makes room and then swings through the line, high and over long-off for a 97m hit
8.5
W
Suyash Sharma to Musheer Khan, out Lbw!! Musheer Khan has been given OUT LBW, he has no choice but to review, he does so straightaway. Did he get an inside edge? The bat is close to the ball, onto UltraEdge and there's a flat line. Onto ball-tracking: Three reds, Musheer Khan is OUT. Two wickets in the over and Suyash is on a roll, the impact substitute fails to make an impact and they're in serious trouble now. Was the attempted wrong 'un, but this one slid on with the angle, pitched on leg and straightened past Musheer's sweep, crashing into the middle-stump, umpire Michael Gough doesn't get a lot wrong, he's nailed another one. Musheer Khan lbw b Suyash Sharma 0(3)
8.2
W
Suyash Sharma to Shashank Singh, out Bowled!! PBKS are crumbling, but this is so poor from Shashank Singh - was the wrong 'un and he was looking to slog across the line, misses it completely and the ball crashes into the leg-stump. 'A wild shot', says Sunil Gavaskar on air and PBKS slip further. They've taken the strategic break at the fall of Shashank. Shashank Singh b Suyash Sharma 3(5)
7.2

Hazlewood to Stoinis, FOUR, clubbed, on a good length and just outside off - Stoinis stands tall and then drags it wide of mid-wicket, through the infield and the ball races away to the ropes
6.3
W
Yash Dayal to Nehal Wadhera, out Bowled!! Chopped on! PBKS have lost the side now, short of a good length and holding its line outside off, Wadhera was shaping for an expansive drive, he does so with an angled bat, gets a thick inside edge and drags it back onto the leg-stump. The zing bails flash and so does the smile in the RCB camp, not so in the PBKS dug-out though. Nehal Wadhera b Yash Dayal 8(10) [4s-1]
6.2
Yash Dayal to Nehal Wadhera, 2 runs, creamed, but more good fielding by RCB, Salt this time, fuller length delivery and well wide of off, caressed into the gap wide of cover - Salt runs across in the deep, dives and keeps them down to a couple
5.5
6
Hazlewood to Stoinis, SIX, massive, that's a blow and a half from the powerful Victorian - back of a length and at the stumps, he picks the length early, swivels across and doesn't bother to keep it down, sent it sailing, high and deep into the stands at deep backward square leg, a 89m hit
5.3
4
Hazlewood to Stoinis, FOUR, that was close, short of a good length and just outside off, Stoinis ain't in a great position on the pull, gets a thick inside edge and that wasn't far away from the leg-stump, beats the diving keeper and runs away to the ropes
5.1
W
Hazlewood to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Wickets keep tumbling in Mullanpur, RCB firmly on top now - banged in short by Hazlewood, it's the effort ball and Inglis is undone by the extra bounce, he's in no control over the pull, went high and down long leg's throat, Bhuvneshwar with the chance and he doesn't miss out on many. Josh Inglis c Bhuvneshwar b Hazlewood 4(7)
4.1
4
Yash Dayal to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, hammered, fuller length delivery on off, lets Wadhera free his arms and he then lifts it back over the bowler's head, couple of bounces and over the ropes
3.4
W
Hazlewood to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! That's an ugly slog and PBKS have lost three in no time. On a length and in that channel just outside off - Shreyas was looking for the big swing, but the length's not there, Hazlewood hits the deck hard and gets that extra bounce, a thin edge and Jitesh Sharma does the rest. RCB are off to some start in this QF1 game. Shreyas Iyer c Jitesh Sharma b Hazlewood 2(3)
3
W
Bhuvneshwar to Prabhsimran, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! There's the wicket, Bhuvneshwar has his man and PBKS have lost both openers now - Prabhsimran probably got carried away, gave a pre-empted charge and Bhuvneshwar knew what was coming, dragged the length back smartly, the right-hander went through with the swing, thin edge and Jitesh Sharma does the rest. Prabhsimran c Jitesh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 18(10) [4s-2 6s-1]
2.4
4
Bhuvneshwar to Prabhsimran, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Prabhsimran, comes down the track, takes the momentum into the shovel and gets enough to clear mid-on, couple of bounces and over the ropes
2.3
4
Bhuvneshwar to Prabhsimran, FOUR, thumped, Prabhsimran comes down the wicket, makes room and gets enough bat on the flat-batted drive, sails over mid-off for a one bounce boundary
2
6
Yash Dayal to Prabhsimran, SIX, lovely, back of a length and at the hips, it's a gift and Prabhsimran accepts it gleefully, whips it away over long leg, the fielder was interested on the leap, but he can only watch it sail over his head
1.2
W
Yash Dayal to Priyansh Arya, out Caught by Krunal Pandya!! Caught at cover! On a good length and well wide of off, Priyansh Arya leans into the drive and does so crisply, but he's hit it straight into the bread basket of cover, Krunal the fielder and he doesn't drop those. RCB draw first blood and this will make Dayal feel a lot better. Priyansh Arya c Krunal Pandya b Yash Dayal 7(5) [4s-1]
0.3

Bhuvneshwar to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, cracking shot, back of a length and well wide of off, Priyansh gets on top of the bounce and steers it backward of square on the off-side, was in the air, but went wide of Krunal Pandya
