| Batsman | R | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hashim Amla | 25 | 27 | 4 | 0 | 92.59 |
|
11.4 OUT! Amla departs. He got off to a flier but slowed down afterwards. Anyway, has provided the start and the middle order needs to capitalize. Colin de Grandhomme serves a length ball on middle and leg, probably stopping a bit on the batsman, Amla tries working it off his pads but it takes a leading edge and balloons in the air towards extra cover. Gambhir stationed there moves ahead a bit and catches the skier safely. Debutant is over the moon. 97/3

| Manan Vohra | 28 | 19 | 4 | 1 | 147.36 |
|
5.1 OUT! Cleans him up! Chawla bowls a googly first up, Vohra makes room eyeing to go over covers but misses the ball completely. The white object disturbs the three sticks and Vohra has to depart. He gave a good start to his side but failed to build on it. Timely strike for Kolkata. 53/1

| Marcus Stoinis | 9 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 75 |
|
7.4 OUT! Played on! Narine serves a short ball, on off, Stoinis attempts a cut but gets cramped up for room. He inside edges the ball onto the stumps and the bail falls down. The Eden Gardens is buzzing. The move to promote him doesn't work. The shot selection wasn't right and he pays for it. 66/2

| Glenn Maxwell C | 25 | 14 | 3 | 1 | 178.57 |
|
12.1 OUT! Another inspirational bowling change by Gambhir! Umesh hurls in a shortish delivery around leg, angling in and following the batsman down the leg side, Maxwell tries to make space for a big shot over the cover region but gets a thick outside edge behind to the keeper. Uthappa makes no mistake, throws the ball up in celebration, the finger is also up and Maxwell is already walking. Big blow to Punjab! 98/4

| David Miller | 28 | 19 | 2 | 2 | 147.36 |
|
17.3 OUT! Miller has to depart! A killer blow to Punjab as it will cost them at least 20-25 runs. Yadav gets lucky with this full toss as Miller has mistimed his heave over mid-wicket. Pandey comes running in from the deep and takes the catch safely by tumbling forward. The umpire checks for the waist high full toss but it's fine in the replays. Second wicket of the evening for Umesh Yadav. He has removed Punjab's Double M's! 155/5

| Wriddhiman Saha Wk | 25 | 17 | 2 | 2 | 147.05 |
|
17.4 OUT! Two-in-two for Yadav. Saha this time falls and Punjab are falling apart in the death overs. Sharp delivery, full and angling into the batsman around middle, Saha tries to go over mid off but fails to get enough timing. It's dipping in front of Colin de Grandhomme at mid off who does well to grab it inches above the surface. 155/6

| Axar Patel | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
|
18 OUT! Potentially a game changing over by Umesh Yadav! Third wicket goes down in it. Once again a delivery bowled at a lethal pace, 143 kph, around off and holding onto the batsman, Axar tries flicking but is early into the shot. He gets a leading edge and stop the press, Sunil Narine has taken a catch at extra cover. Kolkata are roaring! 156/7

| Mohit Sharma | 10 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 125 |
|
19.5 OUT! Woakes has a wicket on the penultimate ball. Hurls in a short delivery, well-directed, Mohit fails to middle his pull shot and is caught by Suryakumar Yadav at long on. 169/8

| Varun Aaron | 4 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 80 |
|
20 OUT! Gambhir takes the catch in the fourth attempt! Woakes serves a length delivery around off and Aaron backs away to play a big shot. Mistimes it completely in the air and Gambhir at extra cover gets underneath it. He tries to pouch it but the ball pops out of his hands, he then recovers quickly and takes a juggling catch. A relieved smile flashes on his usual grumpy face. PUNJAB END ON 170/9! 170/9

5.4 OUT! You live by the sword, you die by the sword! Short ball works this time for Aaron, he fires it in at 148 kph and Narine who has his adrenaline pumping goes for the pull shot. Fails to get the desired elevation and distance and hands a simple catch to Axar Patel in the deep mid-wicket region. Aaron gives him a send-off but Narine has done his job. Gambhir acknowledges his knock as the West Indian walks back to the hut. 76/1
