Jasprit Bumrah to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR, runs are coming thick and fast, yorker length delivery on middle, Bartlett goes for the heave across the line, the ball squirts off the inside edge and races away to fine leg fence, the fielder in the deep puts in the dive, but can't stop it
18.5

Corbin Bosch to Xavier Bartlett, SIX, clubbed, back of a length and just outside off - Bartlett cleas his left leg and then drills it hard and flat, down towards long-on - Tilak leaps across and lets the ball burst through his hands, over the ropes for a maximum

Corbin Bosch to Vishnu Vinod, SIX, Dropped, slower short delivery outside off, Vinod gets into a good position and pulls it in the air to deep mid-wicket, couldn't get the distance and hits it straight towards the deep fielder Robin, who misjudges it completely and lets it though his hands for a six

Corbin Bosch to Vishnu Vinod, FOUR, that has been drilled, pitched up and in the slot, Vinod gets under it nicely and absolutely smashes it past the bowler to long-off

Deepak Chahar to Azmatullah Omarzai, out Caught by Will Jacks!! End of an excellent cameo from Omarzai, another slower ball, Omarzai had to go after everything, this time can't find it off the meat of the bat, drags it down straight down the throat of long on. Azmatullah Omarzai c Will Jacks b Deepak Chahar 38(17) [4s-2 6s-4]
17.5

Deepak Chahar to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX, this is excellent from Omarzai, back of a length and cross seam, width on offer, Omarzai reaches out and slaps it in the air over sweeper cover, it just went past the outstretched hands of the fielder in the deep
17.4
6
Deepak Chahar to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX, a gem of an innings from Omarzai, slower and full in the slot, poor line from Chahar, Omarzai gets to the pitch of the ball nicely and lofts it over long-off
17.3

Deepak Chahar to Azmatullah Omarzai, FOUR, poor delivery, full-toss on the pads, easy pickings for Omarzai as he clips it effortlessly off his legs to deep square leg
17.2
Deepak Chahar to Azmatullah Omarzai, 2 runs, slower and shorter wide outside off, Omarzai reaches out for it and slaps it to deep extra cover, he had hit it in the gap and they get a couple

Shardul Thakur to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX, somehow Omarzai has been able to pick cross seam tonight, it was full and in the arc, Omarzai clears his front leg and hits it through the line over long-on, Punjab need more of these
16.2
W
Shardul Thakur to Marco Jansen, out Bowled!! The Lord has another one! He has this uncanny habit of taking wickets and today is his day. Another one which kept low, the cross seam delivery. Jansen goes for the across the line shot, misread the bounce, the ball sneaked through his bat to crashes into the stumps, Marco Jansen b Shardul Thakur 2(7)
14.4
W
Corbin Bosch to Shashank Singh, out Lbw!! Another cross seam delivery add this one keeps a bit low, Shashank shuffles across to the off side, but was beaten by the low bounce, hit on the pad, right in front of the stumps. He goes for the review, but no bat involved. Ump's call on impact as it is marginally in line with off stump and ball tracking says hitting top of off stump. Punjab losing their way. Shashank Singh lbw b Corbin Bosch 2(3)
14.2
6
Corbin Bosch to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX, he's picked it this time, slower and in the slot, Omarzai picked the length early and with a nice swing of the bat, sends it over deep mid-wicket fence, sweet connection
13.4
4
Shardul Thakur to Azmatullah Omarzai, FOUR, nicely picked, once again feeds him on the pads, too full, Omarzai just clips it off his legs to deep mid-wicket, he's off the mark, too straight and full and it was dispatched with ease

W
Shardul Thakur to Suryansh Shedge, out Caught by Raj Bawa at !! Terrific catch by Bawa at short midwicket, and the in-form Shedge has to depart, not the greatest of the deliveries, full and tailing on the pads, Shedge flicks it in the air towards short midwicket, where Bawa flies to his left and clings onto a blinder, Punjab is a spot of bother. Suryansh Shedge c Raj Bawa b Shardul Thakur 8(5) [6s-1]

6
Raj Bawa to Suryansh Shedge, SIX, that is the shot of the game for me! Raj Bawa's idea of an off-side yorker went as a full slot ball. Oh I'd love these says Suryansh Shedge and gets under it to play a brilliant lofted off-drive over long-of and poses for the cameras
12.3
W
Raj Bawa to Cooper Connolly, out Bowled!! From the lows of Raipur to the joys of Dharamsala. Raj Bawa has bowled a top nut to get rid of Cooper Connolly. Short of a length delivery on the stumps, Cooper Connolly was staying leg-side of the ball with minimal feet for a while now. This one cut back in off the seam. He tried to adjust and late cut/guide but missed the ball completely and it's hit the top of off stump. Good to see MI backing the youngster after the last game and this will give him a lot of confidence. Cooper Connolly b Raj Bawa 21(22) [4s-2 6s-1]

Shardul Thakur to Shreyas Iyer, out Bowled!! This is peak Shardul Thakur behaviour for you. Runs being smacked and suddenly you see him great breakthroughs. He's bowled an absolute Jaffa to get rid of a form batter. Shreyas Iyer averages 251 in T20s at this venue that average will now come crashing down, thanks to the man with the golden arm. Short of a length pitching just outside off stump and nipping away. Shreyas Iyer thought he had it covered on the defence but the away movement slightly opened him up and the ball sneaked past the outside edge to hit top of off stump. Shardul Thakur roars and why not. He's got a fellow Mumbaikar and won't stop reminding him about this. Shreyas Iyer b Shardul Thakur 4(2) [4s-1]

Shardul Thakur to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, creams the cut shot first ball! Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Shreyas Iyer cuts and sends it past backward point. Great start from the Punjab captain

Shardul Thakur to Prabhsimran Singh, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! This is high, finally a catch goes for the fielder and they take it. Absolute slot ball, Prabhsimran Singh would say. But that's what Shardul does, surprises you with a wicket when you least expect. The batter wanted to smash out of the ground over long-on but lost shape and got a thick outside edge. Bosch tracked the skier nicely into the hands. Not easy ones because of the air time on it but he did well to make it look neat. Prabhsimran Singh walks off after a fine innings. Prabhsimran Singh c Corbin Bosch b Shardul Thakur 57(32) [4s-6 6s-4]
11.1
6
Shardul Thakur to Prabhsimran Singh, SIX, he's used his wrists to great effect all day but this is the best shot he's played today trying to do that. Knuckle ball that actually moved away, Prabhsimran moved across to the off-side and whipped it over backward square leg with great timing
11
Corbin Bosch to Prabhsimran Singh, 1 run, nudged towards cover
10.4
F
Corbin Bosch to Prabhsimran Singh, 1 run, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Prabhsimran knocks it to the on-side for a single that's two fifties against MI this season. Made 80 at the Wankhede and today he's got a fifty here in Dharamsala. Has well and truly used that early life to get back into the runs again. Teammates and crowd applaud this effort
10.1
6
Corbin Bosch to Prabhsimran Singh, SIX, absolute slot ball and Prabhsimran powers it easily over extra-cover for a lovely lofted drive inside out. Corbin Bosch may have wanted to bowl the wide yorker but missed his mark and Prabhsimran got under the ball to time it sweetly
9.3
6
Raghu Sharma to Prabhsimran Singh, SIX, goes for the slog-sweep again but this isn't middled! Man at deep mid-wicket runs and jumps to the right but the ball escapes his grasp. Raghu Sharma tries to spin it away from the RHB, Prabhsimran manages to target almost deep square leg this time
9.2
6
Raghu Sharma to Prabhsimran Singh, SIX, great connection! Knew Raghu Sharma was going to favour the off-side because that is the bigger hit. So moved across early, the moment it landed in the slot he was ready on one knee to slog sweep high and handsome over mid-wicket

Will Jacks to Cooper Connolly, FOUR, spoils a good over with this widish flatter delivery outside off stump, ball almost goes for the bottom edge as Connolly looks to cut but it escapes between short third man and backward point
8.2
4
Will Jacks to Cooper Connolly, FOUR, wow! Look at the power on the back foot punch. Went to the left of cover, Tilak ran at full speed to the right and put in the slide. Got a hand on it but the ball jumped over to the ropes. Tilak grimaces before getting up on his feet
7.4
6
Raghu Sharma to Cooper Connolly, SIX, but you will disappear if you overpitch and let him free the arms. PBKS get their first six of the match and it's taken 46 balls. Full and just outside off stump, Connolly got under it and smashed it into the night sky over long-on
6.5
Corbin Bosch to Prabhsimran Singh, no run, put down! Maybe Corbin Bosch wasn't expecting but it came before he was ready in his followthrough. Didn't fully go through after releasing the ball and it came quickly at him slightly to the left. Got both hands to it but spilled the catch. Length delivery just outside off stump, Prabhsimran looked to drive down the ground but didn't control the shot
6
4
Deepak Chahar to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, ends the over with a poor ball and he's livid with himself. Full delivery on the pads, they have fed Prabhsimran there tonight and he has been good with his glances and tickles to the right and left of short fine leg. Still a fine over from DC
5.3

Deepak Chahar to Priyansh Arya, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. He troubled him with a pace on full inswinger and he now gets him with a brilliant knuckle ball. I should have had you last ball, but it's ok. I can knock you over next ball, gestures DC in his celebration. Priyansh Arya got sucked into an early lofted drive, missed the ball completely and it the top of leg stump. Almost just hit the leg bail. Very satisfying dismissal for a bowler when he plans and gets a batter. Priyansh Arya b Deepak Chahar 22(17) [4s-4]
5.2
4
Deepak Chahar to Priyansh Arya, FOUR byes, this game is cruel on the bowler! DC has bowled a brilliant inswinging toe-crusher. It deceived Priyansh and he took his left leg away to avoid injury. Ball just escaped the leg stump but the angle from round the wicket meant the keeper had too much ground to cover to the right and it escapes for four
5

Shardul Thakur to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, to deep backward point
4.4
4
Shardul Thakur to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, he is ready to flick this in the gap. Anything around middle, he wants to go squarer as hitting down the ground could be risky. They have deep mid-wicket so he used his bottom hand to good effect to place it behind square
4.3
4
Shardul Thakur to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, very wristy! Made sure he glanced this very fine to send it to the right of the man at short fine leg. Poor ball from Shardul Thakur, sprayed this length ball on the pads and got the treatment
3.5

Jasprit Bumrah to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, thumped off the back foot! Pace off and into the wicket but Priyansh read this from the hand and delayed the pull shot to easily hit it over mid-wicket for four more
3.1

Jasprit Bumrah to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, neatly lofted! Didn't move much, just let this overpitched ball come to him and played it over cover. Lovely timing on the ball. Bumrah not exactly hitting the right spots yet
2.1

Deepak Chahar to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, the slower ball lands right in the slot and lets Priyansh have a free swing over mid-wicket. Priyansh let this ball come and lifts it over the infield to put early pressure on DC
1.4

Jasprit Bumrah to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, Bumrah follows up with a thrash me short ball with a lot of width, Prabhsimran reaches out and slashes it easily over backward point to get the home crowd going
1.3
Jasprit Bumrah to Prabhsimran Singh, no run, dropped! Straightforward chance put down by Naman Dhir! Short of a length delivery leaving the right-hander after pitching and opening up the batter. Thick outside edge flew straight to Naman, who made a mess of it. You could see that he wasn't confident at all. Did it wobble as it approached him? Still should have been taken. Jassi just runs back to his mark
1.2
4
Jasprit Bumrah to Prabhsimran Singh, FOUR, short of length delivery on the stumps and a fine tickle from Prabhsimran. Knew that fine was pretty square so he just wanted to give direction to the ball and it raced away for his first boundary
0.2
4
Deepak Chahar to Priyansh Arya, FOUR, but he won't defend if you overpitch. DC tried to bowl the outie but bowled a tad fuller and that was enough for Priyansh to get under the ball and loft over cover. Mind you, his strike-rate against DC was 285.71 before the start of this game
