My gut feeling says that punjab team will not be able to win the #IPL trophy this season because what I saw today when they were batting was, the coach didn't send Indian inform batters Nehal wadera and Shasank singh, instead he trusted his foreign players to deliver, but they...

- 21:33 (IST)KKR vs PBKS Live: Economical over!Despite being hit for a four by Sunil Narine, Marco Jansen bowled an economical over. Only 7 runs came in it.

- 21:23 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: "Wicket is on the slower side""I think it's a good total as the wicket is on the slower side. Ricky sir advised us (openers) to rotate the strike after the powerplay and take it deep. I enjoy batting with Prabhsimran, he gives good advice. Tells me when to advance down the track. I know I have the ability and working with (Ricky) Ponting sir is helping me, he is always positive and asks us to be aggressive," said PBKS opener Priyansh Arya in Hindi.

- 21:06 (IST)KKR vs PBKS Live: OUT!Marco Jansen is OUT! He played two dot balls before losing his wicket to Vaibhav Arora on the third ball.

- 20:57 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: WICKET!Varun Chakaravarthy has dismissed Glenn Maxwell. He was hit for a four on the previous ball but has made a good comeback here. It was a good length ball that Maxwell missed and it hit his off-stump. Maxwell is out for 7 runs off 8 balls.PBKS 172/3 (16.4)
- 20:45 (IST)
- 20:43 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Prabhsimran on fire!Varun Chakaravarthy leaked 19 runs in his third over as Prabhsimran Singh slammed him for three fours and a six in the over. The right-handed batter could even score a century here. He is batting at the score of 82 off 47 balls.PBKS 158/1 (14)
- 20:40 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Catch dropped!13.1 - Prabhsimran Singh hit the Varun Chakaravarthy at long-on where Harshit Rana put a jump to his right but failed to take the catch.

- 20:37 (IST)KKR vs PBKS Live: Fifty for Prabhsimran Singh!Prabhsimran Singh raced to his half-century in 38 balls. He started his innings quite slow but paced well.

- 20:31 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: WICKET!Andre Russell provides the first breakthrough to KKR! That is the wicket of Priyansh Arya.

- 20:14 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Kolkata Knight Riders keep it tight!Three runs came off Sunil Narine's second over.

- 20:04 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: SIX!Wow! That is a stunning shot from Priyansh Arya for a six. It was pitched up from Varun Chakaravarthy and Priyansh slog-swept it over deep mid-wicket. This was always coming considering the fact that PBKS had scored only 6 runs in the last two overs.PBKS 67/0 (7.2)
- 19:59 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Brilliant from Chakaravarthy!Varun Chakaravarthy conceded only two singles in his first over. He troubled Prabhsimran Singh with his carrom balls. Despite it being an economical over, Punjab Kings' scoring rate is 9.33, which is not at all bad on this surface that is offering help to the bowlers.PBKS 56/0 (6)
- 19:56 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Punjab Kings on top!Harshit Rana, the hero of the first-leg match between KKR and PBKS in Mullanpur, has been hit for 11 runs in his first over.

- 19:51 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: FOUR!A short ball from Chetan Sakariya and it has been pulled away by Priyansh Arya for a four through cow corner. More than the runs that Priyansh is scoring, it is the maturity in this knock that is impressing.

- 19:47 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Expensive over!Vaibhav Arora is leaking runs. He went for 12 in his second over and his figures read 0/22 after bowling two overs.

- 19:41 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Good bowling!That is a nice start from Chetan Sakariya. He conceded only three singles in it. It was interesting to see the intent of Prabhsimran and Priyansh in the over as none of them tried to go for big shots and both of them were happy with singles.PBKS 13/0 (2)
- 19:22 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: Pitch report here -"The square boundaries are 62m and 64m respectively, while it's 75m straight down the ground. As a spinner it'll be difficult to defend with the smaller boundaries. The pitch looks pretty decent. There are a few bare patches around the good length area with a bit of grass around it. Looks like a pretty dry surface, probably the third game of the season played on this wicket. Scoring runs has been difficult. The mystery spinners will be in action tonight. Need to hit the hard lengths, will be tricky in terms of batting. Scoring runs will be comparatively easier against the pace bowlers," said Matthew Hayden and Graeme Swann while talking about the pitch.

- 19:06 (IST)PBKS vs KKR Live: KKR also playing with two changes!"It's all about playing good cricket, need to chase down whatever the target is. Our bowling has been bowling really well. They have improved a lot. The boys have disappointed with the bat, but need to be brave in this format. Our batting unit needs to do well in this game. We have been playing good cricket in patches. It's all about living in the moment and be positive. Powell comes in for Moeen and Sakariya comes in for Ramandeep," said KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane.
