7.5
Hardik Pandya to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Bairstow!! Hardik Pandya gets the big wicket. Fine call from umpire Nitin Menon. The review doesn't save Inglis too. It's a good short ball outside off, Inglis tries to get on top of it and pull, it's a top-edge and Bairstow catches and appeals immediately, Hardik joins him later belatedly. Nitin Menon though had the finger up in a flash.

Josh Inglis c Bairstow b Hardik Pandya 38(21) [4s-5 6s-2]

8.6
Santner to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, Dhir at deep mid-wicket is in some 10 yards and the chance goes. Had he been right back, it was a catch to him, slower and it sits up short on off, Nehal Wadhera goes on the back foot and pulls it flat and hard, clears the leaping Dhir, who suggests he couldn't have done anything about it. Leapt as high as he could, but the ball clears him

9.6
Hardik Pandya to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, dropped by Boult at fine-leg. Such an easy catch too. A short ball outside off, Nehal Wadhera takes it on, the top-edge flies to fine-leg, Boult gets there and goes with two hands

Topley to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, hat-trick of sixes. Pandya grimaces. This is another half-volley just outside off, Shreyas Iyer is lofting them beautifully, gets forward and holds his shape, lofts splendidly into the sightscreen, suddenly the pressure is on Topley
12.3
Topley to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, Shreyas Iyer picks the bones out of this. Worried looks on Hardik and the other MI players. It's a half-volley outside off, seam-up, Shreyas gets forward and lofts clean and nice over long-on, was in the slot and Shreyas did not miss out
12.2
Topley to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, Shreyas Iyer with a beauty. A short of length delivery on off, he gets inside the line slightly and flicks it up and over deep backward square-leg, plays that shot so well, flies over the man

13.5
Boult to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, four more. The momentum is with PBKS. Full outside off, minimal backlift and what a loft that is, mid-off was in anyway and the ball flies over the fielder, Nehal Wadhera with class written all over that shot
13.4
Boult to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, Nehal Wadhera swings and the thick leading-edge flies over short third man. The luck is with PBKS. Length delivery and angling into leg-stump, Wadhera swings one way and the ball flies in the opposite direction

15.1
Ashwani Kumar to Nehal Wadhera, SIX, Nehal Wadhera is playing a blinder. He gets under this full delivery just outside off, slams it straight down the ground and there was a lot of height on this, and the distance too

15.4
Ashwani Kumar to Nehal Wadhera, out Caught by Santner!! A twist? Such a pivotal moment this. Fullish outside off, near the tramline, Nehal Wadhera has to reach for it, miscues it and it loops up in the air, extra-cover goes back and Santner is such a safe fielder, he takes it and Pandya is all smiles. It's the timeout as well.

15.6
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, such a poor delivery and Shreyas Iyer won't miss out. Full delivery outside the leg-stump, almost a free-hit for him, he flicks and it's a flat six over fine-leg, there was no fielder there too

Punjab Kings need 40 runs in 23 balls

Shreyas Iyer 48(26)

16.2
Boult to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, 50 for Shreyas Iyer on the big night. What a captain he has been. A very full delivery outside off, he opens the face of the bat and squeezes it past the diving backward point, to his left, both short third man and backward point were insid

16.4
Boult to Shashank Singh, out Shashank Singh Run Out!! Looked like Shashank Singh had made it. But him not diving has cost him here. Tries to stretch and make it

Shashank Singh run out (Hardik Pandya) 2(3)

16.6
Boult to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR

17.2
Bumrah to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, the shot of the innings. One of the shots of the tournament for me. A pinpoint yorker on middle, as Bumrah went wide of the crease and angled it in, Shreyas Iyer though stays low, opens the face of the bat and directs it wide of Topley at short third man, played it as late as he can and more importantly got the gap, Topley went to his left and did not dive, maybe that would have helped. Unreal shot that

18.1
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, Shreyas Iyer you beauty! This is a half-volley outside off, in the slot, he leans back and lofts high and over long-on, into the crowd, lots of height and well into the stands, that's the start that his side wanted, Preity Zinta is up on her feet and claps, flashing that million-dollar smile of hers

18.2
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, no ball, Ashwani Kumar oversteps. The pressure has got to the youngster.

18.2
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, SIX he can do no wrong now. This is full and wide outside off, he knows the line and shuffles across to meet this, lofts and this flies over wide long-off. Again a clean strike and that should be the game

18.4
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, SIX he is ending it in a blaze of glory. Again that full and wide line outside off, Shreyas Iyer is setting up for those massive lofts. He swings and it's such a clean hit, flies way back over long-on

18.6
Ashwani Kumar to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, Shreyas Iyer you absolute rockstar! He has finished this chase of 204 with an over to spare. And knocked out his Ranji side from the IPL. And no celebrations at all from Shreyas. He just hugs Stoinis and gets on with it. He is so stoic. Meanwhile Pandya is on his haunches and is left gutted. This is another slot ball outside off, Shreyas as he has done all through this over, lofts clean and high and the white-ball when it left the bat was destined for just one place and that was over the fence, flies over long-on
