Right then. That is all we have from this game. But, there is another game in store for us as Kolkata will be clashing against Hyderabad at 6 pm local (2 pm GMT). Switch tabs to catch all the action from that game. Cheers!
GLENN MAXWELL HAS BEEN GIVEN THE MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
Yuzvendra Chahal is in for a chat! He says that he just believe in himself and he was lacking that in the first leg. Adds that 160 was a good score on this pitch and wickets early on were very crucial. Adds that Agarwal is a great batsman and he loves to play against him. Adds that they are not worrying much and taking it game by game.
KL Rahul, the skipper of Punjab, says he has had the Orange Cap for the last couple of years but it does not mean anything. Says Glenn Maxwell and AB de Villiers played a crucial knock for them. Adds that he plays a role that team demands. Says in T20I, the top three have to score the bulk of runs and they lack in that aspect. Adds that Sharukh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, and Harpreet Brar have been wonderful for the team for the last couple of games and they will try and score more in the next game.
A really good bowling display by Bangalore. The third time on the trot that their bowlers have delivered when they needed them to. A win would have sealed their place in the playoffs and they have played very well to win this crunch game. They found it hard to get a wicket early on and were under pressure but once they got KL Rahul's wicket, the floodgates opened and they started to pick wickets regularly and walked the talk to end up on the winning side. Yuzvendra Chahal had another fruitful outing as he ended with 3 to his name. George Garton had a decent outing too, snaring one wicket. Even though Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel did not scalp wickets, they bowled superbly and applied pressure well. Overall, a top display.
Chasing the highest total that has been posted in this leg of the tournament in Sharjah was always going to be slightly tough and they needed a set platform to scale the total down. As usual, their openers, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal braved the storm early on, and once settled, they started to score runs at a brisk pace. Both of them started to get going and raised a 91-run stand before Rahul was sent back. Pooran continued his poor form and fell for a tame score. Mayank got to his fifty and he would have wanted to stay until the end and take them past the line but he holed out at the wrong time too. With the run rate creeping up, Markram decided to swing hard and that decision proved to be his undoing as he gifted his wicket away. Towards the end, Punjab could not hold their nerve and found it hard and fell short by 6 runs.
There we have it, ladies and gentlemen! Chennai and Delhi have already booked their place in the playoff stages and two more teams could have made it. Now, with this win under their belt, Bangalore have booked their place in the next stage. Punjab, on the other hand, are in a precarious position as nothing is certain for them. They still have a bleak chance at making the playoffs but they will need other teams to slip.

Mohammed Siraj To Shahrukh Khan
NOT OUT! It was more of a hopeful review from Kohli! This was slightly fuller and outside off. Shahrukh Khan looks to go downtown but seems to miss it. The keeper collects and appeals for it but the umpire is unmoved. Review taken but of no use as UltraEdge shows nothing on it.

A length ball, way outside off. Moises Henriques has a wild swing but to no avail as he fails to connect.
Change! Mohammed Siraj to bowl the 19th over! 27 runs needed. This is probably the most important over. How many can he keep for the one who is going to bowl the last?
