IPL, 2025 Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad

19.6: Arshdeep Singh to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man in the deep and Arshdeep Singh closes out things brilliantly for Punjab Kings. Singh goes back to over the wicket and looks for the toe-crushing yorker, but ends up bowling a gentle full toss on middle and leg. Bhuvneshwar Kumar does get under it but ends up just lofting it down to long on, no timing on it, and Priyansh Arya gobbles up the catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru finish with 190/9 on the board!

19.5: Arshdeep Singh to Yash Dayal, Around the wicket now to the right-hander, bowling it full and angling it into leg stump. Yash Dayal tentatively pushes it through mid on for one. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was already halfway down the track before the ball reached Dayal.

19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Krunal Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Arshdeep Singh is making amends and how! Goes full and straight again, gets the ball to just tail back into the leg stump as well. Krunal Pandya hangs back and clears the front leg, looking to swing it over long on but can't quite get under the ball. Krunal ends up lofting it down to long on, where Shreyas Iyer takes a simple catch. Just a couple of runs and two wickets off the final over so far. Two balls to go!

19.3: Arshdeep Singh to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Back of a length, slower too and angled across off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar dabs it down towards backward point and picks up a single.

19.2: Arshdeep Singh to Romario Shepherd, OUT! LBW! Arshdeep Singh sticks to his guns rather than bowling short and gets the big wicket. Romario Shepherd does review it as he starts walking back. Arshdeep spears in a yorker on middle and leg stump and gets it spot on. Shepherd is early to swing across the line and misses the ball completely. The ball sneaks under the bat and crashes into the pads. The finger is raised almost instantly but the third umpire is called in. In come the replays and there's clearly no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows three reds and Shepherd has to walk back after an entertaining cameo.

19.1: Arshdeep Singh to Krunal Pandya, Goes for the yorker at the toes, Krunal Pandya manages to hit it down to long on and turns the strike over.

18.6: Azmatullah Omarzai to Romario Shepherd, SIX! Now, that is a hit and a half! Azmatullah Omarzai misses his mark on the final delivery and pitches it up in the slot around middle. Romario Shepherd clears the front leg and wallops it deep into the stands over long on for a colossal six.

18.5: Azmatullah Omarzai to Romario Shepherd, FOUR! The bowler won't mind that but RCB get a much-needed boundary. A quick short one, right around the helmet. Shepherd looks to pull but is beaten for pace and bounce, but he does get a top edge that goes over short fine leg and into the fence.

18.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Krunal Pandya, Make that a fourth straight single! Omarzai keeps hammering that shorter length, bowling a heavy ball as well and this one is over middle and leg. Pandya pulls it in front of square and towards deep mid-wicket for a run.

18.3: Azmatullah Omarzai to Romario Shepherd, Short of a length around middle, gets the ball to jump off the deck a bit. Shepherd is late on the pull and ends up misusing it down to long on for one more. Just 3 singles to start the over.

18.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Krunal Pandya, Another one that is bowled ino the pitch, this is angled across the left-hander as well. Krunal Pandya slaps it away through cover-point but for just another single.

18.1: Azmatullah Omarzai to Romario Shepherd, This is bowled short and over middle, Romario Shepherd forces the pull and gets it wide of deep mid-wicket, but only for a single.

17.6: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Romario Shepherd, A leg cutter by the looks of it, on that in-between length, around the leg stump line. Romario Shepherd taps the ball in front of mid on for a quick single. What an over from Vyshak Vijaykumar, just 5 off it. He wraps his spell with figures of 4-0-30-1.

17.5: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Krunal Pandya, On the back of a length, with some extra lift on it, around off. Krunal Pandya hops to tuck into the leg side, but gets a bit of a leading edge and the ball rolls into the cover region for a single.

17.4: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! TIMBER! Vyshak Vijaykumar does eventually see the back of the dangerous Jitesh Sharma. Length ball around off, angling back in. Sharma sets up deep in the crease and looks to get inside the line before swinging it over long on but loses his shape a bit. The ball takes the inside edge onto the thigh then deflects over onto one of the bails. A bit unlucky but Sharma has to depart for a fiery 24 off just 10 balls and Punjab get another timely wicket.

17.3: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Jitesh Sharma, NOT OUT! Lovely length, just short of a good length and in the channel, seaming away too. Jitesh has a poke at it but seems to be beaten past the outside edge. There is half an appeal for caught behind and up goes the umpire's finger. However, Jitesh Sharma reviews it immediately. The third umpire thinks there is a gap and UltraEdge confirms the same. Decision overturned!

17.2: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Romario Shepherd, Short again, at the batter, this time Shepherd ends up pulling it down towards deep mid-wicket for a single.

17.1: Vyshak Vijaykumar to Romario Shepherd, DROPPED! It's the substitute fielder as well. Vyshak Vijaykumar bowls it back of a length and right at the batter. Romario Shepherd gets cramped for room and looks to still go through with the pull. Ends up skying it high and just over mid-wicket. Praveen Dubey charges in from the deep and just has to run around a bit and ends up losing his balance. The ball goes straight through the hands and the batters get a couple of runs. That could be a huge, huge miss for Punjab!
