Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians, Qualifier 2 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Azmatullah to Raj Bawa, 2 runs, 200 up for Mumbai Indians. Short of length delivery, gets big on Bawa but he still goes through with the pull, the ball hits the splice of the bat and lands near mid-on. Santner races back for the second

Azmatullah to Naman Dhir, out Caught by Stoinis!! He's picked out the fielder. Dhir is disappointed and shakes his head as he walks off. This was a slot ball and was there to be put away, Dhir middles the drive and does not keep it down, smashes it straight to extra cover and Stoinis hangs on to a sharp catch. A fine little cameo from Dhir has got them close to 200. Now upto the rest to take it past 200 with 3 balls to go. Naman Dhir c Stoinis b Azmatullah 37(18) [4s-7]

Azmatullah to Naman Dhir, FOUR, Shreyas has gone for Omarzai over Vyshak. Is it the right move? Omarzai will have to bowl with an extra field inside the 30-yard circle. Slower ball outside off, Dhir drags the heave wide of mid-on and starts the over with a boundary

Arshdeep Singh to Naman Dhir, FOUR, Dhir is playing a blinder. Arshdeep misses the yorker and this is right in the slot, Dhir does not miss out and he thumps it down the ground. Poor execution with mid-off inside the ring

Arshdeep Singh to Naman Dhir, FOUR, Arshdeep continues to leak runs.. Short of length delivery, Dhir nails the pull in front of square and gives the fielders in the deep no chance. That's a good start to the over

Azmatullah to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! Omarzai wins the battle against Hardik. Josh Inglis points to something above. Was it the spider cam wire? It does not matter as he takes the catch and Hardik is walking. Short of length, pounded halfway down the pitch, Hardik tries to flat-bat hit down the ground and gets a top-edge, the ball goes straight up and Inglis settles under it. Big wicket with still 12 balls left in the innings. Hardik Pandya c Josh Inglis b Azmatullah 15(13) [4s-1]

Azmatullah to Naman Dhir, FOUR, oh dear! Prabhsimran lets it through his legs. He had just come on. Short of length delivery, Dhir pulls backward of square and Prabhsimran runs to his right, bends down and allows it to go past him

Azmatullah to Hardik Pandya, FOUR, this is going to be a big over. Omarzai will be targeted. Hardik makes his intentions clear. Width on offer outside off and he does not miss out, slaps it in front of square and no one in the field moved

Arshdeep Singh to Naman Dhir, FOUR, Dhir once again turning it on for Mumbai Indians. He has played a few such cameos this season. Full delivery on the pads, flicked backward of square and splits the two fielders perfectly

Arshdeep Singh to Naman Dhir, FOUR, and again.. A repeat of the last ball. Arshdeep sticks with the leg-stump line, Dhir tries to control the pull but the ball gets big on him and the top-edge flies over short fine

Arshdeep Singh to Naman Dhir, FOUR, poor delivery. Wrong line from Arshdeep. Short ball around leg, Dhir just needed to give it direction, he swivels around and helps it over short fine

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Naman Dhir, 1 run, 124.9ks short of length at the body, Dhir pulls sans timing to deep square leg

Jamieson to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Priyansh Arya!! This is a massive moment in the game. Both set batters gone in successive overs. Was that needed from Tilak especially right after the break? Nonetheless, Punjab Kings are right back in this contest. Jamieson goes round the wicket, slips in the slower leg-cutter which completely deceives Tilak, he was looking to go down two but miscues it horribly, Arya runs across to his right from long-on and takes a good catch. Tilak Varma c Priyansh Arya b Jamieson 44(29) [4s-2 6s-2]

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Nehal Wadhera!! The partnership is broken. Chahal does the job for his team. He went for a few but has picked up the big wicket of Suryakumar. No fifty for Mumbai Indians' best batter. This is pushed through a little, the line is on middle and leg, Suryakumar kneels down and slog sweeps. He does not get it off the middle and Wadhera settles near deep mid-wicket, takes it calmly. Suryakumar Yadav c Nehal Wadhera b Chahal 44(26) [4s-4 6s-3]

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, there he goes.. This is overpitched by Chahal and Suryakumar does not miss out, he smashes it down the ground and the ball lands flush on the ad cushions

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, Suryakumar is dealing in boundaries. His last 12 runs have come in fours. Flighted around off, Suryakumar lofts it straight down the ground and times it superbly - no chance for the deep fielders

Jamieson to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, no, he can't! That's still a good over for Mumbai Indians, 8 runs. This time Suryakumar waits for the short of length delivery, gets on top of the bounce and places the pull in front of square - splitting deep mid-wicket and deep square leg

Jamieson to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, this time he gets it over the infield. Very similar to the previous delivery - short and wide outside off, Suryakumar reaches and slashes it over the short third region

Chahal to Tilak Varma, 1 run, full toss on the pads and Tilak will feel missed out, flicks it straight to deep mid-wicket. The 50-run stand comes up..

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, just over Jamieson. Not off the middle but Suryakumar got enough. Flighted delivery and he lofts down the ground, gets plenty of height and that kept Jamieson interested at long-off, he jumps up and tries to parry it in but the ball goes through his fingers. If he couldn't get there then no one could..

Azmatullah to Tilak Varma, FOUR, the plan is to bowl the wide yorker but Tilak reaches out and squeezes it nicely past backward point. Sweeper runs to the right and dives full length but couldn't cut it off

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, this is getting worse for Chahal. He slowed it up and bowled short with width with absolutely zero shield behind square on the field. Backward point and third man were up. There was no deeo point either and it was an easy cut shot for four

Chahal to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, poor ball from Chahal! Full and down leg when fine leg is up is a big no, no! The coaches won't be, surely Chahal won't be happy himself. SKY gets inside the line and plays the scoop-sweep that he missed out twice last over

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Tilak Varma, SIX, stunner from Tilak. Full and in the slot with mid-off is asking for trouble. Tilak leans forward, gets under it and absolutely creams it over long-off for a handsome hit. Great footwork and timing on that occasion

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Tilak Varma, FOUR, hit down the ground and gets fours. The moment he saw a seam up slot ball Tilak went to the safest place on the ground - towards the sightscreen. Freebie that with mid-off up

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Bairstow, out Caught by Josh Inglis!! And he's got him with the knuckle ball. Bowled slower ball after slower ball to trouble Jonny. The batter moved across to scoop this ball but the ball took the glove and lobbed to Josh Inglis for an easy catch. Vijaykumar Vyshak roars and fist pumps. This could just be the perfect conditions for him to trouble batters with pace off deliveries. Jonny walks back after another important contribution. Bairstow c Josh Inglis b Vijaykumar Vyshak 38(24) [4s-3 6s-2]

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Bairstow, 2 runs, oh that ball never arrived! Slower and into the wicket, ball hits the toe-end of the bat and went to mid-on. Long-on had a lot of ground to cover so they stole the second

Azmatullah to Bairstow, wide, no wonder Jonny was surprised why this wasn't given. Slower ball bouncer comfortably cleared the head (1.85m). The ball went at 2.04m

Azmatullah to Bairstow, SIX, pace off alright but length ball and Jonny sets a firm base and absolutely smashes it over mid-wicket after clearing the front leg out of the way. Hit with a lot of power

Azmatullah to Bairstow, FOUR, that's a full toss, whipped away over mid-wicket. Got to back up a good over bowled by the teammate. Maybe he was looking for a swinging full ball and lost control

Jamieson to Bairstow, 1 run, slower ball bouncer, Bairstow pulls and finds deep mid-wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Bairstow, FOUR, top edge and it flies over the keeper. Short delivery, Jonny looks to pull, again had to drag slightly from outside off stump and the edge it luckily healthy for him to avoid Josh Inglis

Arshdeep Singh to Bairstow, FOUR, drilled through cover. Hit it in the gap and held the pose, tells you how he enjoyed that shot and the clarity he had in his mind. Full and wide, Jonny opened the bat face, got under it and hit it uppishly to pierce the gap at cover

Stoinis to Tilak Varma, no ball, SIX, Tilak Varmaaaa! Second ball he steps out and muscles the ball into the sightscreen to stun the bowler. He has been asking for this position at every possible opportunity. The audacity to not mind the early wicket and the thought to put on an ultra aggressive face is something to admire. Advanced, made it slot and smacked it into the stands. And Stoinis oversteps to give a free-hit too

Stoinis to Rohit, out Caught by Vijaykumar Vyshak!! This is in the airrr, man back and taken. Stoinis, the man! He thumps his chest as he roars, come onnn! This guy is so underrated and has the knack of taking wickets. He dishes this out into the wicket. Rohit thought he could have a six with the pull, instead picked out deep square leg to perfection. Huge sigh of relief for PBKS and Omarzai. Rohit c Vijaykumar Vyshak b Stoinis 8(7) [4s-1]

Stoinis to Rohit, FOUR, and he makes them pay straightaway with a boundary. Full, slot, thank you very much says Ro and lofts over the bowler's head to start the over on a high

Jamieson to Rohit, 1 run, in the airrrr and put down. Omarzai the culprit. He got lucky last game and hurt GT badly last game. PBKS will be nervous about this now. Length delivery outside off stump, width on offer so Rohit goes for it full on, ball takes the bottom of the bat and flies over short third man. Fielder ran back, got both hands but couldn't control. Tough but should have been taken

Jamieson to Bairstow, SIX, Jonny goes big! The length, the direction the problem for the bowler. Short of a length and down leg, freebie as long leg is quite open and Jonny backs himself for a pick up shot and sent it all the way for the first of many maximums to come tonight
