And the wicket against the run of play. It is sure that Punjab need to go at 10 runs an over every time, but Shikhar Dhawan here has been caught by RCB skipper Faf du Plessis of the bowling off Harshal Patel. Punjab are now 2 down for 118 and still need 88 off 52 balls

10:27 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 116-1 | Over 11- Punjab dealing in boundaries now

 

After being hit for a six and four in this over, Akash Deep bowls it short outside off and Bhanuka goes for it and gets a leading edge but away from the fielder Harshal Patel who gives his best and saves two runs after not being able to catch the ball

 

Six!! Bam there is no stopping Rjapaksa her as he hits this for a six over deep fine leg to make it 19 from the over 

10:23 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 97-1 | Over 10- Bhanuka goes bang bang

 

Dhawan comes down the ground and hits it straight down the ground on full and takes a single

 

Rajapaksa goes bang bang here as she comes down the ground and gets to the pitch of the ball from his Sri Lankan compatriot and hits it over deep square leg for a gigantic six. The ball is being fetched by the Security guard here 

 

Boy does he hit fast!! This was full from Hasaranga and he sweeps this like a tracer bullet for four to deep mid-wicket

And the ace up Faf du Plessis' sleeves- Wanindu Hasarang has done with the first ball, what he was brought to do in this over. On the very first ball, he gets the wicket of opposition captain Mayank Agarwal. 

10:06 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 71-0 | Over 07- Agarwal survives

 

Akash Deep comes into bowl in his first-ever IPL game and he has been hit for a four down the leg by Shikhar Dhawan 

 

In the air, but falls safely as MAYANK Agarwal survives and another good over from RCB as only eight runs come from it. If the team is chasing 10 an over, eight runs make it a good over only 

10:01 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 63-0 | Over 06- Brilliant from Shahbaz

 

Shahbaz Ahmed has bowled a great over here as even after being hit for a four off the second ball, he created an opportunity but the ball almost fell in the no-man's land, only for Dinesh Kartik to put a great effort and get a hand to the ball after valiant dive. However, only six runs came from the over and Punjab reached 63/0 in the Powerplay 

9:51 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 57-0 | Over 05- 50 up for Punjab

 

Six!! Oh what a delightful shot that was from Mayank as Willey was short and wide outside off and Mayak just helped the ball on its way to a six over the third-man boundary 

 

Four!! Now it's Shikhar Dhawan's turn as he goes on one knee outside off and ramps it or should I say Dill Scoops it over Dinesh Karthik for one-bounce four. This also brings upon the 50 for Punjab Kings

 

chance goes begging!! But a stumping on a fast bowler is really;y not a chance and above that it bounced awkwardly too for Kartik who was not able to collect it

 

Four!! Rubbing salt to the injury, Dhawan makes room for himself and hits it over Point for a four

9:47 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 42-0 | Over 04- Bang Bang goes Mayank

Boom!! If on the previous ball he was not able to get the timing, Mayank Agarwal compensates with this one as he hits this through the line for a great six over the bowler's head. The bat made a very sweet sound as Punjab Kings race to 37 in the fourth over

 

Short from Siraj again and Mayank plays the pull shot much like a Nataraj as he went on one leg and pulled this towards deep square leg for four runs 

9:41 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 28-0 | Over 03- Tight over from Willey

 

This has been a calming over from David Willey as instead of trying to get the wing, he focussed on line and length and was difficult to get away. In the end he just gave away six runs and almost got a run out with a brilliant fielding off his own bowling 

9:39 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | PBKS 22-0 | Over 02-Great start from Punjab openers

 

The Punjab openers have started well and were no doubt helped by the five extras from Mohd Siraj. But overall, getting to 22 from the first two without any loss while chasing 206 is indeed a good start and will build hope in the dug out which has goit great hitters to come 

9:17 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 205-1 | Over 20-Target for Punjab

9:15 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 205-1 | Over 20- Can't-miss this masterstroke from Faf

9:11 PM

Live | PBKS vs RCB | IPL 2022 | RCB 205-1 | Over 20-Dinesh Karthik finishes off in style

 

Six!! Dinesh Karthik has clobbered this over the extra cover boundary for a six. This has been a real fine inning from Karthik and he is reminding us all of his Nidhas Trophy heroics. 

 

Four!! And just as I said that he has hit one ramp short over the fine leg for four. Three more balls left, How much can he get as RCB go past 200.

 

Yorker nailed by Sandeep Sharma from around the wicket and now two balls remaining. 

 

Man this was premeditated as DK knew it was going to be outside off and he went outside off and went down on one knee and hit a slog sweep for four runs  and a bye to end the innings as RCB finish at 205-2
