Pace on, outside off, on a shade fuller length, Sai Sudharsan gets on the back foot to punch it to the off side but he plays outside the line of the ball as it jags a bit into the batter and keeps low on the bounce as well.

FOUR! Guided away nicely! Aims a yorker but bowls it full on the pads, Rahul Tewatia flicks it too fine toward deep fine leg for a boundary.

Yes, he can. Just a single off the last ball. Superb stuff by Harshal, a wicket and just 4 runs off it. This is on a good length, outside off, Rahul Tewatia frees his arms and glides it down to deep third. Retains the strike with a single. With Gujarat needing 38 runs from 24 balls, they need a big over from somewhere to ease off the pressure.

A loud shout for LBW but the umpire is unmoved. Rahul Tewatia is a goner unless the ball has pitched outside leg. Comes from around the wicket and bowls it on a nagging length, at the stumps, Rahul Tewatia premeditates as he changes his stance and goes for the switch hit. The ball skids through to trap him right in front of the stumps. There is nothing on UltraEdge. Onto to the Ball Tracking now and yes, as expected, it has pitched outside leg.

FOUR! Tewatia picks his spot to perfection. The southpaw bringing all his experience into play here. Brar strays on the pads and bowls it fractionally short, Rahul Tewatia gets on one knee and gets inside the line to pull it towards the vacant deep backward square leg region for a boundary.

SIX! BANG! Hit with real authority! Angling in, at the stumps, on a length with an upright seam, Shahrukh Khan gives himself room and he is aware that mid off is inside the circle. Lofts it easily and clears the fence for a maximum.

Nails the yorker, at the stumps, Shahrukh Khan digs it out on the leg side for a single.

FOUR! Clever, very clever! Keeps it on a length, on the off-stump line, Rahul Tewatia puts the dancing shoes on and hits through the line. Lifts it back over the bowler's head for four more runs.

FOUR! Not very convincing but that will do for Gujarat. Hurls it on a hard length, tailing in, on middle, Rahul Tewatia gets into a tangle as he gets hurried while looking to dab it down the deck. Gets it off his gloves and it races to the left of the keeper, Jitesh Sharma for yet another boundary. 20 runs off the over, the most expensive over for Rabada in this season of the Indian T20 League. Gujarat are 5 runs away from a win.

OUT! TIMBER! Shahrukh Khan cannot quite see his side home. Nothing more than a consolation is this wicket for Harshal Patel and Punjab. Bowls it at full hilt, right at the base of the stumps, Shahrukh Khan is late to bring his bat down as the ball dips on him and creeps under the bat. The ball brushes the back boot and crashes into the stumps.

Goes for the yorker again, on middle but it comes out as a low full toss, Rashid Khan does well not to get beaten by the ball dipping on him and clips it in front of square on the leg side for a single.

Swing and a miss! Comes from around the wicket and bowls it fuller in length, outside off, it is there in the slot for Tewatia who swings, only to connect with thin air.

Scores level! Low full toss, straying on the pads, Rashid Khan flicks it off his pads to the right of deep backward square leg for a couple of runs. Can Gujarat finish it on the last ball?

OUT! TAKEN! WHAT AN ANTI CLIMAX! Another yorker gone wrong by Harshal which ends up as a low full toss, on middle, there to be put away, Rashid Khan opts to play his favourite whip across the line. Fails to get it past mid-wicket and ends up hitting it low towards Rilee Rossouw who dives to his left and does the rest. Another game at Mullanpur that is going down to the final over.

Arshdeep Singh steams in from over the wicket and errs in line as he drifts onto the pads, full in length, Rahul Tewatia lets the ball come to him and glances it away off his pads down to the fine leg fence for a boundary. Gujarat win by 3 wickets with five balls to spare.
