Length ball on off, Josh Inglis steers this one to the deep third man fielder for one.

Keeps it tight, on a length, on middle and off, Iyer pushes it back to the bowler.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The change of bowling works for Royal Challengers Bengaluru! Back-of-a-length delivery, around off, that rises on Shreyas Iyer, who looks to cut it and gets a thick outside edge that flies to the keeper, Jitesh Sharma, who times his jump to perfection and takes it with both hands. Good catch by Jitesh.

Off the mark straightaway. Josh Hazlewood keeps it nice and full, on off, Nehal Wadhera just nudges it to cover and takes a run.

OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket number two of the over and RCB are right back in the contest! Back of length outside off, Josh Inglis goes for the cut and gets a bit of a thick outside edge that flies down straight to deep third man, where Suyash Sharma makes no mistake as he crouches and takes it around his knees. PBKS are now 53/4, needing 43 runs in 36 balls.

An appeal for LBW but is turned down. Probably was pitching outside leg. Royal Challengers Bengaluru do not challenge it. Suyash Sharma bowls the wrong'un around leg and gets it to turn away. Nehal Wadhera fails to read the ball off the hand and misses on the flick, and gets hit on the pad.

Full, outside off, googly, Nehal Wadhera is lured into the drive as he looks to drive through the line and is beaten on the outside edge.

Another googly that goes past the batter. This is some bowling! The pressure is building on Punjab Kings! Full and around off, going away from Nehal as he looks to push at it. 

Full wide outside off, googly, Nehal Wadhera goes for the reverse-sweep over short third man but can't get any connection as he loses his balance and falls on the ground. Jitesh Sharma takes off the bails, but Nehal had his back leg grounded inside the crease at that time.

FOUR! That should ease a lot of nerves for Nehal Wadhera and the Punjab dugout. Tossed up, on middle, Nehal reverse sweeps and gets it right this time. Hits it over backward point for a boundary.

SIX! That is more like it. That will release the pressure. Full on off, Wadhera goes for the slog sweep and nails it, as he puts this one over mid-wicket for a big six.

Hazlewood serves it full, on middle and off, Shashank Singh covers the line and tucks it to mid on.

Hard length, over off, Singh dabs it to short third. Two dots to start the over from Josh Hazlewood!

Josh goes hard into the surface this time, over off, Shashank Singh cuts it through covers for a single.

Nehal Wadhera gives the bowler a charge, and Josh has an earful to say to him. Short and over off, Nehal steps out and swings hard but fails to connect. 

Fires it full, on leg, this one skids through as well. Nehal Wadhera swivels to whip it off his pads but misses. The ball goes towards square leg off the pads and the batters sneak a leg bye.

A stifled appeal for caught behind but is turned down. Short and just outside off, Shashank Singh looks to play at it with a straight bat but misses and gets beaten on the outside edge.

SIX! Nehal Wadhera continues to take on Suyash Sharma! Three boundaries on the trot, in the last three balls, off his bowling now. A bit too full and outside off, Nehal Wadhera tonks it over long off for a biggie.

FOUR BYES! It's all going Punjab's way at the moment! Tossed up, full and around off, turning away. Nehal Wadhera is beaten on the outside edge, and the ball evades the keeper to his left and races to the deep third fence for a boundary. 

FOUR! Absolutely crunched! Suyash Sharma is becoming a bit too predictable, and Nehal Wadhera is making him pay. Full and outside off, turning away, Nehal Wadhera frees his arms and thumps it through covers.

Nicely bowled! Full and around off, skids through quicker to go past the outside edge as Nehal looks to push at it.

Swing and a miss! Serves the googly, outside off, Nehal gets down for the slog sweep but fails to connect.

Full, on off, Nehal Wadhera taps it to backward point and takes a single. 15 runs come off this over and Punjab Kings now need just 16 more runs off 18 balls. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back into the attack and angles it across, around off, on a length, Nehal Wadhera cuts it straight to backward point.

Back of a length, over middle, Nehal Wadhera steps out and swipes it to deep square leg for a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Shashank Singh holes out! Bhuvneshwar Kumar serves it on a back of a length, angling it into the batter, on middle and leg, Shashank Singh makes a bit of room and looks to go big, straight back over the bowler's head, but only gets height and not the distance. Phil Salt takes a straightforward catch at long on. 

Hard length, angling in, over off, Marcus Stoinis punches at it and gets a thick outside edge that dribbles to deep third for a single. 

SIX! Ice in the veins for Nehal, surely! Back of a length, on the hips, he swivels back and pulls it behind square on the leg side for a six. 

FOUR! Top shot! Gets his side within touching distance now. Short of a length, outside off, Nehal Wadhera weighs on the back foot and slaps it through covers for a boundary to end the over. Punjab Kings need just 4 more runs off the last two overs now.

SIX! BANG! That's a thumping shot to seal the game by 5 wickets. Yash Dayal serves it right in the slot, on middle and off, Marcus Stoinis winds up and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie to wrap things up. Punjab Kings win by 5 wickets and 11 balls to spare.
