Sunrisers 132-6 (20 ovs) vs Punjab |  Scorecard

Death overs specialist Tye, who has two overs in hand, comes back. He beats Pandey off the first two balls with clever change of pace.

Two singles followed by a couple to Pandey as Ashwin lets one go through at point.

Pandey (46) goes for the big hit and ends up skying it high on the leg side but Mayank Agarwal at deep midwicket drops a simple chance.

Punjab continue to drop catches and this time Tiwary is at fault. Pathan swings Ashwin over midwicket where Tiwary takes the catch but the ball bounces off his palms and goes over the ropes for a six.

This has been a poor fielding display by Punjab as they have dropped quite a few simple catches.

Pathan turns the next ball on the leg side for two runs and picks another couple of the next, through the covers.

Ashwin goes for 13 in his final over to give away a total of 34 runs in his four overs.

In the next over, Pandey carves Tye over the covers for a four to bring up his fifty from 48 balls, one of his most difficult half-centuries in the IPL.

Pathan flicks the last ball fine on the leg side for another four to give away nine in the 19th over.

Rajpoot to bowl the final over. He give away just two runs from the first three balls, including a leg bye before Pandey is beaten by a quick yorker and is bowled for 54 from 51 balls.

But the next ball is short and wide as Mohammed Nabi slashes it over point for a four to get off the mark in style.

He looks to loft the next ball down the ground but fails to get the distance and is caught at long-off.
