Punjab Vs Rajasthan Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, Match 27 - Full Scorecard

Avesh Khan to Atharva Taide, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Atharva Taide goes. Rajasthan almost fumbled up this one. Short in length and on leg. Atharva Taide tries to use the pace as he looks to pull but gets a thick top edge to first slip. Kuldeep Sen was standing there but the keeper runs across, Sen might have not heard the call from the skipper and eventually takes it. The good thing is the ball meets the hands of Sen and there was no collision. 

Keshav Maharaj to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft, soft dismissal and Jonny Bairstow's miserable run continues. Keshav Maharaj floats this one up on a nagging length on off and middle and he gets this one to stick in the pitch. The ball grips and bounces a bit extra as Bairstow is caught on the back foot pushing at it. The ball gets lobbed straight to Shimron Hetmyer at extra cover and he takes a simple catch as Punjab lose their third wicket.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! Yuzvendra Chahal weaves his magic again as he picks up a wicket in his first over. Chahal tosses this one up on middle and leg and gives it a bit more air. Prabhsimran Singh gets enticed by it and comes down the track, looking to hammer it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie but doesn't quite get the timing and the ball is also hit directly into the breeze which is blowing pretty strongly. Dhruv Jurel comes around towards cow corner and reverse-cups it safely.

Keshav Maharaj to Sam Curran, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and Keshav Maharaj strikes again! A bit of a drag-down from Maharaj on middle stump and turning back in as well. Sam Curran rocks back and looks to pull it flat over deep mid-wicket but gets the timing all wrong and he is also hitting into the wind a bit. The ball goes flat as Dhruv Jurel comes charging in from the deep and takes a fine catch diving forward. Punjab in deep trouble now!

Avesh Khan to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight up and Avesh Khan picks up his second wicket. Hits the deck hard at around 136 clicks and bowls it over the top of off stump. Jitesh Sharma looks to force the lofted shot over mid off but gets it quite high on the bat. The ball gets lobbed up and Riyan Parag takes an easy catch at mid off. Just when Punjab looked to be in for a flourish, Sharma departs and they are pegged back yet again.

Kuldeep Sen to Shashank Singh, OUT! TAKEN! Just when Punjab were trying to shift gears, a wicket falls. Short in length and on off, It was there to be hit and Shashank Singh pulls but mistimes his shot to deep square leg where Dhruv Jurel runs in and takes his third catch of the night. 

Yuzvendra Chahal to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! RUN OUT! That is catastrophic for Punjab! Yuzvendra Chahal spears it in full at the legs again and Ashutosh Sharma flicks it away just in front of square leg. The batters run the first one hard and Liam Livingstone instantly turns back for the second as Sharma sends him back. Tanush Kotian runs around to his left and fires in a wide throw at the keeper's end where Sanju Samson collects it well and flicks it back onto the stumps while taking a tumble. No one is interested but the replays show that Livingstone is short of his crease and Rajasthan get a massive wicket here.

Trent Boult to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! Trent Boult finishes things off brilliantly for Rajasthan and manages to keep Punjab under 150. Boult comes from over the wicket now and bangs in a well-directed short ball. This one putches around middle and leg and Ashutosh Sharma gets cramped up and tries to force the pull shot only to end up splicing it in front of backward point. Keshav Maharaj there dives in front and pouches it safely. Sharma departs after a fine cameo and Punjab finish with 147/8!

Kagiso Rabada to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT! Picks the man out in the deep perfectly and the move to bring Kagiso Rabada back into the attack has worked for Punajb. This is dug in short and outside off from around the stumps, Yashasvi Jaiswal hops on his toes and slashes the cut shot flat and down towards a fairly square third man. The ball flies down to Harshal Patel over there and he makes no mistake. Jaiswal departs after a promising start.

Liam Livingstone to Tanush Kotian, OUT! BOWLED! Floated, full and on middle, was the googly and there was some extra bounce as well. Tanush Kotian comes down the track and swings across the line but misses it completely and the ball hits the top of leg pole. Just not his day. Tanush Kotian's struggle comes to an end.

Kagiso Rabada to Sanju Samson, OUT! LBW! Kagiso Rabada has another one! Sanju Samson does review the decision though. Rabada bowls this one on a hard length and into the pitch a bit on off stump and gets it to nip back in. The ball stays low and Samson misses the pull completely. There is no bat involved and the third umpire moves to Ball Tracking which comes up with three reds and Punjab have their third wicket. Is the comeback really on for Punjab here?

Arshdeep Singh to Riyan Parag, OUT! TAKEN! This was on the cards for a long, long time. Right from the last over of Sam Curran! Arshdeep Singh bowls it into the pitch, short and on off. Riyan Parag pulls but gets a top edge to deep square leg. Kagiso Rabada has a long time to get under it and he does well to hold it in the deep. A twist in the game. This game is not yet over by any means and the home crowd is loving it.

Harshal Patel to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! This time Dhruv Jurel has to go. Punjab are not giving up and are actually ahead in the game now. The Mullanpur crowd have found their noise here. Short of a length and around off, Dhruv Jurel pulls but without much conviction. Shashank Singh from deep square leg, runs in, covers a lot of ground and takes an excellent forward-diving catch.

Sam Curran to Rovman Powell, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! He did edge that one! Bangs it short and well above Powell's head. This is angled across and Rovman Powell looks to pull this but cue ends it to the keeper who makes no mistake. Rajasthan need 12 runs off 9 balls with new batter on the crease.

Sam Curran to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! GONE! Shimron Hetmyer might have just told Keshav Maharaj to try and go big. Maybe use this as a free hit. This is full and outside off but he holes out. Keshav Maharaj hits it hard but flat to long on where Liam Livingstone takes it. How important and impactful Ravichandran Ashwin used to be for Rajasthan at this kind of stage? He must be just hoping now for a victory watching from the dugout.
