Sunil Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Just short! Just short. Oh boy! Maxwell wants it to be checked but it is just short. Narine would have had his heart in his mouth for a second. What drama, what an anticlimax! It is a game of millimeters says Ian Bishop and that is oh so right. Coming to the ball now, what did Narine just bowl there. He fires it outside off. He invites Maxwell to hit towards the short side and Glenn does exactly that. He lofts it over covers. It bounces just inside the ropes and then goes over. A boundary signaled. They though go to check it upstairs as it is too close to call but replays show it lands just short. Heartbreak for Punjab. THEY LOSE BY 2 RUNS!

Sunil Narine to Mandeep Singh, OUT! TAKEN! The bigger side of the ground and Mandeep does not strike it cleanly and hence holes out. 7 needed from the last game. Kolkata can't lose unless an extra is bowled. It is slower through the air again and on middle. Narine gives no pace on the delivery. Singh goes for the slog sweep but only manages to hit it high up in the air. Green, the sub, settles under it and takes it brilliantly.

Sunil Narine to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Important boundary! 8 from 3 balls now! Innovation and it pays off. Maxwell brings out the reverse sweep. Nails it over the cover region and it goes for a boundary.

18.6
Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, OUT! TIMBER! That is a huge, huge wicket. Game now in Kolkata's favor. Rahul can't believe what he has done. Krishna is over the moon. It is a full toss outside off. Rahul looks to heave it on the leg side but gets an inside edge which hits the stumps. What a turnaround. Wow! Just Wow! 14 needed in the last over with two new batters out there.

Prasidh Krishna to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! TAKEN! Kolkata back in this one! Prabhsimran walks back after an innings which could well cost his team the game. It is shorter and around off. He looks to pull but is done in by the pace. It goes off the splice towards point where Rana runs back and takes a good catch. 16 in 8. Boundary needed.

Sunil Narine to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! TIMBER! Pooran is out of here but is it too late! They should have probably given Narine the over they gave to Nagarkoti. It is on middle, Pooran swings but misses. You miss I hit stuff from him. 21 needed in 16. A wicket more and the game might just get interesting.

16.3
Varun Chakravarthy to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! In the gap! Probably now where Pooran wanted to hit it but he finds the gap. Fuller and outside off. Pooran swings but miscues it. It goes over cover and trickles over the fence. He wanted it to hit it a lot straighter than he did.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Smashed! Just the 29 needed now! Short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. Pooran pulls it hard and over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! Length and outside off, Pooran stands tall and crunches it through covers for a boundary. So this is probably the over which turns the tide completely in Punjab's favor. 35 needed in 25.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor bowling! Short and wide outside off, Rahul stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and cuts it through point. No chance of stopping that.

Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket Kolkata wanted! There is glimmer of hope they needed. Can they capitalize on it now? Krishna does the job. It is angled into the pads, Agarwal looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence but fails to get the power behind it. He holes out to the fielder in the deep. Gill makes no mistake. A brilliant innings from Agarwal comes to an end. He has done his job. 50 needed in 34.

12.2
Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Through the gap! Fuller and on off, Rahul leans into it and strokes it through covers. Russell gives it a chase but fails to get to it. 8 from the first two balls. FIFTY up for KL Rahul! Continues his great form.

Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Poor from Cummins! He errs in line and bowls it on the pads. It is worked behind square on the leg side for a boundary. Pressure on Cummins.

Varun Chakravarthy to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! That is beautifully played! Releases the pressure that was building in the over. Full and outside off. Agarwal makes room and lofts it over covers. No chance of stopping that. 8 from the over. 71 needed in 8.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Good-looking shot from Mayank Agarwal! Nagarkoti overpitches it outside off, Agarwal lunges forward and creams the drive through extra cover for a boundary.

Sunil Narine to Mayank Agarwal, EDGY FOUR! Everything going Punjab's way! Shortish and outside off, Agarwal looks to loft it over covers but it goes off the outside edge and down to the third man fence.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to KL Rahul, FOUR! In the gap! Slightly shorter in length and on middle, Rahul pulls it hard! Finds the gap in the mid-wicket region and bags a boundary.

Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, Six! Exquisite! That is brilliant from Agarwal! A huge over and a much-needed one. Agarwal makes room and Krishna bowls it full and outside off. It is lofted over covers and it goes all the way.

Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! That is a beauty! Not a lot wrong with that delivery. It is length and on middle, Agarwal strokes it on the up past the mid on fielder and it races away to the fence.

Prasidh Krishna to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Just a mere chip and a welcome boundary! Agarwal might have decided to step on the gas now! Fuller and on middle, Agarwal lofts it over mid on and bags a boundary.

Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, DROPPED AND FOUR! Also, Russell is down on the ground. This could well be a double blow for Kolkata. Excellent deception from Krishna. He bowls a slower one and it is fuller on off. Rahul is early into the loft. He hits it over mid off. Russell back tracks, gets two hands to it but spills it. It is rolling towards the boundary. Russell dives and tries to push it back in but is touching the ropes while doing so. He though is down on the ground outside the boundary line. How costly will this prove? Punjab's best player gets a life.
