Mohit Sharma to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, well, that is it. KOL have posted an easy victory by six wickets. This is their sixth successive win against PUN in the history of the T20 League. It has been a slick show put up by KOL. It was a slower one, Yadav drove it past Mohit for a boundary to long-off. The players shake hands as they make their way back to the pavilion

Kyle Abbott to Y Pathan, FOUR, Pathan cracks a firm drive to a fuller length delivery past the diving mid-on fielder for a boundary. Nice connection by Pathan
16.2 -
Kyle Abbott to Y Pathan, FOUR, the banged in short delivery, Pathan pulls it to the fine leg fence with disdain. No chance for the fieider in the deep to stop it
15.4 -
Axar to Shakib, FOUR, Vohra has dropped a regulation chance at long-off. This is getting bad to worse for PUN. Shakib backs away and lofts it to long-off, where Vohra is late to pick up the ball. He does not bend low quickly and the ball just goes through his hands. Vohra stil puts in a dive to save the boundary, but to no avail
14.4 -
Mohit Sharma to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, the cross-seam short delivery from Sharma, Yadav stays slightly leg-side of the ball and ramps it over the keeper. No need to run for those
11.1 -
Mohit Sharma to M Pandey, FOUR, back of a length delivery and outside off, Pandey stands tall and punches it to the extra cover fence. Miller from cover looked to hound it down and did put in a dive, but to no avail
9.5 -
Maxwell to Gambhir, FOUR, offspinner outside off, Gambhir waits on the back foot and stabs it fine of short third man
7.4 -
Maxwell to Gambhir, FOUR, delicate! Just opened the bat face and glided it wide a diving short third man
6.2 -
Pardeep Sahu to Uthappa, FOUR, clever stuff! Waits for this flatter delivery to angle in and then reverse slaps it wide of lone slip
5.1 -
Axar to Uthappa, FOUR, Axar Patel comes into the attack and Uthappa greets him with a boundary through mid-wicket. Flatter and quicker outside off, Uthappa drops to one knee and fetches the sweep. Nailed!
4.5 -
Mohit Sharma to Uthappa, FOUR, had there been a first slip, Uthappa would have been a goner! Things not going PUN's way at the moment. Good length darted away slightly in the corridor of uncertainty, Uthappa looks to drive towards mid-on and went a bit hard on the stroke. The outside edge is found and it flies well wide of a desperate diving Saha (obviously to his right)
4.4 -
Mohit Sharma to Uthappa, FOUR, 50 up for KOL. Short and sat up invitingly for Uthappa who murders the pull off the front foot, scorched off the turf through mid-wicket
3.5 -
Kyle Abbott to Gambhir, FOUR, short and Gambhir had ample time to pick his spot. Sits back and dismisses the ball off his sight with a nonchalant pull wide of mid-on
3.2 -
Kyle Abbott to Uthappa, FOUR, fantastic! How well has he hit that? Just stood still and silked it through the covers. Back of a length outside off, Uthappa times the pants off a punch
3.0 -
Sandeep Sharma to Uthappa, FOUR, top-edge again and this time it's a boundary! Short and down leg, Uthappa edges the pull which lobs well over the keeper and towards the fine leg fence
2.2 -
Sandeep Sharma to Uthappa, FOUR, nicely done! Uthappa shuffles slightly and picks the length ball to loft it over a leaping mid-on, once it went past the fielder it was always going to be a boundary
2.0 -
Kyle Abbott to Uthappa, FOUR, short and plenty of room on offer, Uthappa watches it all along and slashes it past a diving cover. Raced away!
0.2 -
Sandeep Sharma to Uthappa, leg byes, FOUR, swings another length ball down the leg-side, Uthappa fails to get bat on the flick. Nonetheless the ball flicks the pads and races away fine to the fine leg fence
0.1 -
Sandeep Sharma to Uthappa, FOUR, poor first ball from Sandeep Sharma! Slips a length ball down the leg-side and all Uthappa needed to was get some bat on that, glanced away wide of short fine. KOL are off and running with a boundary
15.5 -
Axar to Shakib, out Caught by Sandeep Sharma!! Well, another one has been chugged down. It has been a good show by KOL but some of their middle-order have thrown their wickets away on a platter. Maybe they are looking at the net run-rate. Slightly slower through the air from Axar, Shakib tries to hoick it across the line. He gets a top-edge and Sandeep grabs an easy catch at short third man. Shakib c Sandeep Sharma b Axar 11(15) [4s-1]
13.1 -
Axar to M Pandey, out Bowled!! Patel has struck with a straight ball. Pandey won't be happy though, as it hardly did anything in the air or off the track. Pandey tries to play a half-hearted drive after backing away a touch, missed it completely and his stumps took a beating. He played for the turn and paid the price for it. Patel, though, was pumped up after picking up the scalp. M Pandey b Axar 12(11) [4s-1]
10.5 -
Pardeep Sahu to Gambhir, out Caught by Maxwell!! A blinder taken by Maxi at mid-wicket. The Aussie, known for his athletic fielding in the cricketing circles, charged forward from deep mid-wicket, put in a full length dive to snaffle it with both hands. It is perhaps too late though for PUN to essay a sterling comeback. Gambhir tried to chip it around the corner, but could only get it to Maxwell at deep mid-wicket, who grabbed a spectacular catch. Gambhir c Maxwell b Pardeep Sahu 34(34) [4s-3]
8.3 -
Pardeep Sahu to Uthappa, out Lbw!! Pardeep Sahu strikes! Hurls a slower armball on middle, Uthappa gets into position early in an attempt to sweep it fine. Misses and is struck in front of middle, the finger goes up and Sahu is chuffed to bits. Would have easily clipped middle or leg. Uthappa lbw b Pardeep Sahu 53(28) [4s-9]
