Let’s go Punjab! Koli must win nowt!!

12.1
Krunal Pandya to Josh Inglis, out Caught by Livingstone!! in the airrrr, taken! Krunal Pandya is putting a stunning show for the faith RCB showed in him. He's forced a mishit by using his cricketing smarts again. Inglis was itching to go big, fired it so close to the body that the batter couldn't get under it it

Josh Inglis c Livingstone b Krunal Pandya 39(23) [4s-1 6s-4]

RCB 190/9 (20)
PBKS 98/4 (12.2) CRR: 7.95 REQ: 12.13
Punjab Kings need 93 runs in 46 balls

16.2
Bhuvneshwar to Nehal Wadhera, out Caught by Krunal Pandya!! Straight to sweeper cover. Full outside off, Nehal Wadhera was leaning back to loft, did not get under that, carved it but does not have the elevation, Krunal is a safe fielder and he catches it. Kohli with a fist-pump to celebrate. Two balls this over - no runs and a wicket. That's what RCB want. The experience of Bhuvneshwar showing here.

Nehal Wadhera c Krunal Pandya b Bhuvneshwar 15(1 [6s-1]

16.4
Bhuvneshwar to Stoinis, out Caught by Yash Dayal!! Six and out. RCB are elated. Stoinis slams the bat on the turf in disappointment.

17.4
Yash Dayal to Shashank Singh, 2 runs, fingertipper from Shepherd at backward square-leg. A low full-toss on middle, Shashank Singh swipes and Shepherd flings himself to his right, thje ball hits the outstretched right hand and goes down. Did not stick

Punjab Kings need 41 runs in 12 balls

18.1
Bhuvneshwar to Shashank Singh, SIX, that's the start PBKS want. A low full-toss around off, Shashank Singh gets forward and lofts, lots of height and the elevation as well, way over long-on

18.4
Bhuvneshwar to Shashank Singh, FOUR

CB 190/9 (20)
PBKS 162/7 (19) CRR: 8.53 REQ: 29

19.1
Hazlewood to Shashank Singh, no run

18 years he is wid same franchise...winning today for 1st time

19.5
Hazlewood to Shashank Singh, SIX, slower-ball off-cutter full on middle, Shashank Singh gets forward and heaves it miles
19.4
Hazlewood to Shashank Singh, FOUR, boundary but won't matter. A hard length delivery on the stumps, Shashank Singh pulls and it's a top-edge over Jitesh Sharma, beats Shepherd's dive from fine-leg, he pushes the ball into the cushions
19.3
Hazlewood to Shashank Singh, SIX, low full-toss on middle, Shashank Singh swings it away over deep mid-wicket, it's six and it's too little too late for PBKS

PBKS 178/7 (19.5) CRR: 8.97 REQ: 78
Punjab Kings need 13 runs in 1 ball

19.6
Hazlewood to Shashank Singh, SIX, it's six but it won't care a jot for RCB. RCB are IPL champs for the first time. 18 years. 18 long years it has taken them to achieve this. Tears from a man as experienced and who has seen everything in his career from Kohli. They surround him. He is crying. What scenes in Ahmedabad. The camera just focusses on two people - Kohli and ABD.
