Innings break Excellent fight back by Kings XI Punjab. They pulled that back after Faf du Plessis threatened to take the game away with a stunning 96. Shami's last over was superb. Why he only bowled three overs is a mystery. Kings XI need 171 to win.
Faf du Plessis: "When you get that close obviously you want to get 100. Well bowled. Any runs like that, I'll take it. It's a good deck. If you hit a good line and length it's difficult to score. We think that's par. We've got a really good attack so we can defend that. Ashwin bowled really well."
Arjun: "Gotta wonder why Shami didnt finish it, still great end ivers display by kxip. A little too late but amazing"
Ishan L: "At 4.2 overs, score predictor predicted 171... I now bow down to our future robot overlords. They're getting better I tell you"
Debayan will take you through the start of the chase.

Ganesh: "Irrespective how Punjab have ended this season but Ashwin has proved that he is still a good white ball bowler 15 wickets at a good economy rate in a ground which provides least spin. Goes to Bengaluru doesn't provide a single boundary and here again bowls one over in the PP and other in death and still goes less than 6 RPO"
