[Donny]

19 needed from the last over.

Gill out for 95.

[Donny]

Six needed from the last ball.

[Donny]

SIX !! Incredible.

[Pies4shaw]

Fantastic ending. However, had it not been for a brain fade by the bowler on the 3rd-last ball, Punjab wold have been nearly certain to win. Gujurat needed 13 from the last 3 balls. Odean Smith bowled a dot ball - but then inexplicably tried to throw down the stumps and gave up an overthrow, bringing it back to 12 from 2.

Gujurat remain the only undefeated team in the competition.

The early game (8 pm tonight, AEST) is between cellar-dwellers CSK and SRH and then it's Bangalore v Mumbai at midnight.

[Pies4shaw]

Underway - CSK batting. 2/36 after 5.1 overs.

[Pies4shaw]

SRH is coasting home on the back of Abhishek's 71* (and counting) from 43 balls. Just 34 needed from 30 balls, now.

[Donny]

M. Indians 6/151.

RCB 0/50. Batting at 4 and 5 - Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell.

Faf caught in the deep.

1/50 in the 9th. over

One G Maxwell played a tiny cameo for Bangalore in his first IPL game for the season. He took them to a comfortable victory with 8* (3/152 from 18.3 overs). His IPL 2022 strike rate is presently 400. In the field, he was only able to effect the one runout in this game.

The Indians had a weird innings: 0/50 in the powerplay; they then lost 6/29 (including 3/0 when the score was on 62); and Yadav exploded at the end with 68 from 37 balls.

Tonight at 8 pm (AEST), Kolkata have Delhi and at midnight, Rajasthan have Lucknow.

[Pies4shaw]

Delhi is batting, which means Warner is at the crease.

[Donny]

0/20 after 2 overs.

Shaw 15*, Warner 5*.

[Donny]

This is the D Warner we know.

4 fours and a 6 in his 26* from 15 balls.

[Donny]

Capitals building a nice launching pad.
