चेन्नई vs पंजाब, मैच 7, एमए चिदंबरम स्टेडियम, चेन्नई, 03 April 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

A direct hit would have been curtains for Wadhera! Full and spinning away, outside off. Wadhera goes for the big-booming cover drive, but slices it to backward point. Shreyas is more than halfway through the run, but Wadhera stays put and seeing the fielder fumbling to pick it up, he starts off. However, the throw goes wide of the bowler, which allows Nehal to get home.

Quicker and flatter, outside off, on a length. Shreyas Iyer misses to cut it away.

WIDE! Tries the googly, on a length, outside off, but it breaches the tramline. Wided.

Full on leg, nicely flicked into the deep square leg region for a single.

Skids through from a length, outside off, Wadhera cuts it wide of short third for a single.

Flighted full and outside off, pushed behind point for a single.

Dishes out the googly, on middle, slightly full. Nehal Wadhera plays from the crease and tucks it to the leg side with soft hands. Excellent over from Noor, given the context of the game. Just 5 runs off it. 62 runs needed from 36 balls for PBKS.

Short and slow, outside off, Shreyas Iyer hangs deep and pulls it to the right of long on for two runs. 150 up for Punjab Kings!

Overpitched around off, Shreyas Iyer carves it to deep cover for a single, but a fumble by Shivam Dube in the deep allows them to pinch in the second.

Very full again, outside off, driven straight to the cover fielder by Iyer.

 FOUR! Easy pickings! Goes pace off and way too short and way too wide outside off. Not an ideal length with third man inside the ring. Shreyas Iyer gets too much width and ramps it comfortably over short third for a boundary.

 SIX! PUNISHED! Goes pace off again, slightly short and around off. Shreyas Iyer picks the length in a trice and nails the pull shot towards deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

A low full toss on middle, Iyer looks to flick but closes the bat face a touch too early, getting a leading edge out to deep cover for a single.

FOUR! All too easy for Iyer! Too short, too wide by Chahar, Shreyas presses back and cuts it late to beat the fielder in the deep. Sarfaraz Khan sprints to his left and dives but the ball goes under his hands and into the fence.

Floated up now, fuller and on middle. Shreyas pushes it to long on and rotates the strike.

SIX! Clean as a whistle! Fired in at 93.7 kph, too full now, on middle. Nehal Wadhera gets the front leg out of the way and collapses his back knee to smoke it over long on for a biggie.

Chahar drags the length back now, on off. Nehal punches it from the crease to long on for a run.

Wide! This is sprayed beyond the tramline, on a length. Iyer lets it be.

Closer to the off pole, a flighted delivery. Shreyas eases it towards wide long off for a run. The 50-run stand comes up in 24 balls.

A swing and a miss! Out comes the googly from Chahar, turning away from the left-hander, sneaking just inside the tramline. Nehal Wadhera goes for the slog sweep, but the ball spins away to beat him. Sanju Samson whips the bails off. The background check confirms that Wadhera's back leg was grounded when the bails came off. 14 runs off Chahar's final over.

FOUR! In the gap! Anshul Kamboj begins from over the wicket, full and on middle. Iyer plays the lofted hit whilst holding his shape. Smears it to the left of the man at deep mid-wicket for a four.

Wide not given and Shreyas Iyer has taken the review. Anshul Kamboj gets the wide yorker in. Iyer reaches out but fails to connect. Iyer is standing a bit outside the off stump and so the guideline moves with him. The ball is well within the revised tramline and it is a dot.

Did that carry? Just about did. Another wide yorker, outside off, Iyer drops his bat down on the ball. Slices it with an open bat face to short third, where Matt Henry gets low and gets his hands out in front.

FOUR! Not where Iyer intended but he will take it. That brings up the 28th IPL half-century for the PBKS skipper. He gets there in 26 balls. Full and wide on off. Iyer throws his hands at the ball. Get a thickish outside edge that flies fine of the man at deep backward point. Shreyas has looked in complete control tonight.

Oh, not far away from crashing into the leg stump. It would not have mattered even if the ball had hit the timber as Anshul Kamboj has overstepped. Around leg, very full, Iyer walks inside the line but misses out on the glance. NO BALL called. Free Hit coming up.

Full again, around off. Shreyas goes deep in the crease and has a swipe across the line but connects with thin air.

OUT! TAKEN! The wide line finally works for Anshul Kamboj. Full and pushed across the right-hander. Iyer reaches out to go big on the off side. He does not get the desired distance and hits it down the throat of deep cover, where Rahul Chahar runs in off the ropes and takes the catch. The Punjab Kings are 186/4, needing 24 runs from 18 balls.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two wickets in two balls and two set batters are gone. Henry delivers it on a wide line, far outside off, full in length. Nehal Wadhera takes a couple of baby steps forward and tries to slap it over covers, but ends up mistiming it off the toe end. Slices the ball flatly to the cover fielder, where Noor Ahmad takes a fine catch. PBKS are 186/5. 

FOUR! Streaky, but they all count! Running across the right-hander, on a length. Stoinis gets low and looks to smash it through the off side. The ball leaves him with the angle to take the outside edge but it goes well wide of the man at short third and the fielder at deep backward point is also beaten.

Very full, outside off. Stoinis digs it out. Henry gets across to his left on the follow-through but fails to cut it off. They cross.

Falls safely between the two fielders! Henry continues the wide line ploy on a length. Shashank Singh, predicting the line, walks across the stumps and swings at it. Gets it right off the toe end of the blade over cover. The deep point fielder runs across to his right, and the fielder inside the circle also converges, but the ball drops between them. Two runs taken.

FOUR! That's the risk involved with the wide line. On a length, going across. Shashank Singh flashes and flashes hard. The ball flies off the outer half over the man at short third for a boundary.

Low full toss, on off, this is carved to deep point for one.

FOUR! Superb placement! Anshul Kamboj goes searching for the wide yorker but it comes out as a low full toss, outside off. Singh extends his hands and angles the bat face to place the drive to the right of the man at deep point for a four.

Full and on middle. Shashank brings his wrists into play and flicks it to the left of deep square leg for a brace.

Wide! Kamboj varies his length as he bangs it in short. The line is a bit too straight and he is lucky to get away with it. Shashank Singh walks inside the line of the ball and swings to get it away behind square leg but misses. Wide given by the umpire, but Ruturaj Gaikwad reviews the on-field call after consultation with Sanju Samson. The UltraEdge shows a flat line. The wide call stays.

Full, on the pads. Shashank Singh nurdles it behind square leg for a single. 4 more required for PBKS.

FOUR! Hit with real authority! Punjab Kings ace the chase of 210 with 8 balls to spare. Full and on the off stump, Stoinis uses the depth of the crease to get under the ball. He swings through the line and drills it back over the bowler's head. The long off fielder stands no chance of cutting it off as the ball skips across the turf.
