Player Of The Match
OUT! Caught. Josh Hazlewood to Azmatullah Omarzai. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, outside edge, caught by Sharma. A masterclass from the Royal Challengers Bangaluru bowlers, as they have bundled Punjab Kings out for just 101. After winning the toss and opting to bowl, the Kings were soon in trouble after four wickets in the powerplay, and they never recovered. Josh Hazlewood took two of them, and three in total, with Yash Dayal striking twice. Suyash Sharma then controlled the middle overs, also with three wickets, as non of the Kings batters could make any impact. Marcus Stoinis' top scored with 26, as only two of his team mates made double figures in a desperately disappointing showing. Can Royal Challengers knock off the runs and take their place in the final? Or can Punjab Kings bowlers cause a twist? Stay tuned for the run chase!
