Punjab 176-5 (19 ovs) vs RCB 202-4 | Scorecard

Umesh, who suffered at the end in the previous game, comes back. He does well to concede just three singles from the first balls before Pooran looks to break free and ends up skying it high on the leg side.

Stoinis has lots of time to set himself under the catch but ends up dropping the simple offering, to give Pooran (44 from 24 balls) the lifeline.

Umesh then bowls a wide before Miller survives the run out chance as he strokes it to cover and sets off for a quick run.

Umesh beats Pooran with the final delivery as he sends down the slower ball.

Just six runs from the over as Punjab now need 30 from two overs for victory.

Saini to bowl the 19th over. He strikes first ball with the wicket of Miller, who lofts it down the ground and de Villiers takes a good sharp catch at long-on.

Miller walks back after a sedate innings of 24 from 25 balls.

New batsman Mandeep Singh attempts the paddle scoop first ball but is beaten before Saini concedes just singles off the next three balls.

Saini is rewarded for his fine bowling with the wicket of Pooran, who attempts the big hit but is caught at long-on by de Villiers after a cracking innings of 46 from 28 balls.
