Bangalore Vs Punjab Live Cricket Score - Live Score, Match 43 - Full Scorecard

A Choudhary to H Amla, OUT! AMLA IS WALKING! That's a big wicket to start for Bangalore. Short of a length angling across the batsman who has a flash at it. There was a faint feather on it as it went through to Jadhav but there wasn't much of an appeal at all. The umpire wouldn't have given it either but Amla had started walking back. Good sportsmanship from the South African.

S Arvind to M Guptill, OUT! GUPTILL HAS THROWN IT AWAY! He was looking edgy from the start and has to depart. The off cutter from Arvind and Guptill goes for the lofted stroke. Gets a slice that flies to deep cover where Negi takes a comfortable catch. This is turning out to be poor start for Punjab.

P Negi to S Marsh, OUT! MARSH HOLES OUT! Punjab's formidable overseas top order is back in the hut and they are in trouble. Goes for the lofted stroke but hasn't timed it well at all. Mandeep at long off doesn't even have to budge as he takes the catch with ease. Punjab badly need a partnership.

Y Chahal to M Vohra, OUT! Chahal gets his man! Quicker one outside off, Vohra goes for a slog sweep but fails to connect it cleanly. Gets it off the top edge and AB de Villiers at long on, pouches the catch cleanly with a reverse cup. Vohra in process to take the attack to the opposition, departs. The replays show that de Villiers had misjudged slightly but did well to take the catch.

S Watson to W Saha, OUT! Timber! Watson bowls an off cutter around off, Saha tries to be cheeky. Looks to dab it late but is very late into bringing his bat down. The ball goes on to clip the off stump. Saha departs and that's end of the 34-run stand off just 21 balls. Timely breakthrough for Bangalore.

Y Chahal to G Maxwell, OUT! In the air... gone! The skipper departs! Tossed up around off, Maxwell goes for the reverse sweep. Gets a top edge and the ball balloons high in the air. Badree at short third man, gets under it and takes a good catch. The umpires ask Maxwell to wait as they want to check for the no ball. The replays show that Chahal was fine but it was very marginal. Maxwell's struggling knock comes to an end.

A Choudhary to M Sharma, OUT! Edged and taken! Second one for Aniket Choudhary! Back of a length delivery, angling away, Mohit looks to drag it on the leg side. Gets a faint outside edge and the ball goes straight into the gloves of Jadhav, who doesn't make any mistake this time.

G Maxwell to M Singh, OUT! TIMBER! Slider, skidding through towards the stumps, Mandeep goes back to pull but the ball goes through from under his bat and gets his stumps shattered. That's end of a good knock from Mandeep. Bangalore in big, big trouble now.

S Sharma to C Gayle, OUT! SOFT DISMISSAL! Gayle goes for a duck and his dismal season continues. Fuller ball outside off, he walks down the track and pushes at it with hard hands. Gets a thick edge that flies straight to Guptill at backward point. Just the start Punjab were looking for. They need to strike regularly.

S Sharma to V Kohli, OUT! HORROR SHOT AND KOHLI DEPARTS! Steps down the track to play a big shot but doesn't get any bat on it as the furniture is left in a mess behind him. That's a shot so unlike Kohli, who usually is very calm in run chases. As they say, when things aren't going well for your team, everything goes wrong. Punjab are firmly on top.

S Sharma to de Villiers, OUT! SANDEEP HAS ANOTHER BIG FISH! What an opening burst this is turning to be! Have to say though that this is a terrible shot from de Villiers. He steps out to make room and goes for a lofted drive. Not a wise shot to play with the ball shaping away a bit and he gets a thick edge that is smartly pouched by Saha behind the sticks. Disastrous shot selection from Bangalore's top order and their batting woes continue.

M Sharma to K Jadhav, OUT! ANOTHER TAME DISMISSAL! Jadhav charges down the track and goes for a cross-batted slog but gets a slice that flies to short cover where Axar gobbles it up. The hosts' batsmen continue the procession to the dug out. This is bizarre batting of the highest order. Poor, poor shot-selection.

A Patel to S Watson, OUT! AXAR STRIKES! Flatter delivery outside off, Watson goes back to cut but gets a faint outside edge and Saha pouches it safely. The players appeal and the umpire rules it out straightaway. Axar has done the trick for his side. Bangalore have lost half their side now.

A Patel to P Negi, OUT! Axar strikes straightaway! Axar bowls it short, angling away from Negi. The southpaw looks to go big but the ends up slicing it as the bat turns in his hands. The ball travels high in the air and there are two men going after it, Wriddhiman Saha and Varun Aaron. Both fail to call for the catch but Saha with the gloves on is the first one to reach to the ball and does well to pouch it safely even after a collision with Aaron. Negi departs and there goes any hopes of a Bangalore win.

G Maxwell to S Arvind, OUT! MAXWELL HAS ANOTHER! The slider around off, Arvind looks to sweep across the line but misses to be rapped on the pads. That looked dead plumb to the naked eye and the umpire's finger goes up. Pressure mounting on the hosts now and the end is nigh.

A Patel to S Badree, OUT! Timber! Arm ball around off, Badree swings at it but misses it by miles. The ball goes through and hits the off pole. Two-in-two for Axar. What a game he is having! He is on a hat-trick now.

M Sharma to A Choudhary, OUT! Mohit Sharma completes the formalities. Slower back of a length delivery outside off. Choudhary looks to loft it over mid off but fails to get his timing right. The ball goes off the toe end of the bat towards Guptill, who makes no mistake. Once again Bangalore have been bowled out. This is the lowest total ever defended at this venue in the Indian T20 League. PUNJAB WIN BY 19 RUNS!
