Richard Gleeson to Sam Curran
NO BALL! That has slipped out of Richard Gleeson's hands! Loses the grip of the ball and ends up serving a beamer, outside off, Sam Curran is caught by surprise as the ball zips past him before he can lay any bat on it. Free Hit coming up.

FOUR! Shivam Dube gets beaten all ends up by the spin and concedes a boundary. Fuller and at the stumps, Sam Curran heaves across the line and it comes off the inside half of the bat.

Richard Gleeson to Sam Curran
Given LBW but Sam Curran successfully overturns it! Pitched up from over the wicket by Richard Gleeson, on middle and leg, Sam Curran goes deep in his crease to swing across the line. Gets pinged low on the front pad and the ball rolls on the off side. Up goes the finger but Curran takes the review. There is nothing on UltraEdge. However, the ball has pitched outside leg on Ball Tracking.

Richard Gleeson to Shashank Singh
THAT'S IT! Punjab get home and become the second team to win five successive games against Chennai! Richard Gleeson bowls it on a back of a length, over middle, Shashank Singh turns this one towards deep square leg. The batters think about coming back for the second. The throw from the deep is a wayward one, well wide of MS Dhoni, allowing the batters to take the second run.

Mustafizur Rahman to Prabhsimran Singh
BEAUTY! Good length, shaping away, just around off, Prabhsimran Singh opens the bat's face and is squared up and gets beaten on the outside edge.

Mustafizur Rahman to Prabhsimran Singh
An appeal for LBW and the Umpire doesn't flinch a bit. Ruturaj Gaikwad sends it upstairs and challenges the decision! Length ball at 134 kph, on the off stump line. Prabhsimran Singh shuffles across off and exposes the stumps and looks to ramp it over short fine but gets hit on the pads. However, the replays show that Prabshimran had gotten an inside edge onto the pads. Chennai lose an early review.

Oh, what happened there? Deepak Chahar aborts on the load-up and seems to be struggling with a hamstring issue. Oh no, he is walking off the field, and this is a big blow for Chennai, who are already without Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande in this game. It will be Shardul Thakur to complete the over.
0
It will be the English right-arm seamer, Richard Gleeson, on debut, to operate from the other end.

Mustafizur Rahman has been handed the ball now.

Rilee Rossouw comes in at number 3.

So spin from both ends now. Moeen Ali is introduced into the attack.

Strategic Break! Despite losing Prabhsimran Singh well early inside the first six, Punjab is looking in a very comfortable position at the moment as Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw are keeping the scoreboard ticking, finding boundaries at regular intervals. On the other hand, Chennai has introduced spin in tandem but both their spinners have gone for runs in their first respective overs. Also, there's a lot of dew around so it will just get tougher for the bowlers to grip the ball. It would be challenging for the Chennai spinners to deal with it and also, they are in dire need of a couple of wickets here.

Shashank Singh is in at number 4.

The umpires have asked for a ball change as the current one has gotten too wet due to the dew. The ball has been replaced, and let's see if Chennai can use the drier ball to their advantage.

Shardul Thakur returns to the attack, replacing Shivam Dube.

The Punjab skipper, Sam Curran comes out to bat now. Richard Gleeson (2-0-14-1) is back into the attack.

Mustafizur Rahman (2-0-13-0) comes back on to bowl.

Another halt as the ball is being exchanged once again. This one has taken a huge toll of the dew out there. The Umpire selects another ball and we are good to go.

Strategic Break! With 17 runs needed from the last 24 balls, it is Punjab's game to lose here. They would not want to put themselves under pressure by taking the game deep and would look to finish it quickly, thereby improving their NRR. As it stands, Chennai are heading towards their second home defeat of the season. They need a real miracle to pull off a heist here.
0
Richard Gleeson (3-0-23-1) is back.

Right then, this is it from Match number 49 where Chennai faced a humbling defeat against Punjab that too, in their own backyard. This marks their fifth defeat in ten games. Well, things are really heating up in the Points Table as Punjab further creeps ahead with two more crucial points with four wins now. Next up in the Indian T20 League is another high-octane clash between the table-toppers Rajasthan who will clash against the hosts Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday, 2nd May. That match will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But as always, you can join us for the pre-match build-up. Till then, take care, cheers!
