Innings Highlights

Over No.Event TypeEventTeam Score
20OUTNarine to Chawla, out Bowled!! Ends the innings with a wicket. Flat, quick and straight in the blockhole, Chawla had a high back lift and couldn't get his bat down in time. 125 is the target for Kolkata..surely they can't mess it up this time! Chawla b Narine 9(10)124/7
19.2SIXNarine to Gilchrist, SIX, that's much needed for Punjab! The first 6 of the innings, in the slot for him and he smashes it over long on, Tiwary was interested for a while at that position but it sailed over him121/6
18.3DROPPEDBalaji to Chawla, 2 runs, catch dropped by Bisla. That's a fairly easy chance at this level. Chawla looks to pull but is foxed by a slower one, gets a top edge that goes high behind the keeper, Yusuf coverges from short fine leg and confuses Bisla, who lets it go through his gloves. Poor effort that111/6
17.1OUTNarine to Dogra, out Caught by Kallis!! Punjab batsmen manage to get out in weird ways but what a good catch that is! Tossed up well outside off, Dogra reaches out and looks to sweep, he loses his balance in the process and slips, but the ball lobs off the top edge and goes to deep square leg where Kallis runs n and dives forward to take a very good catch. A wicket for Sunil Narine, and Lee has some fun with Narine's hair as they celebrate the wicket. Dogra c Kallis b Narine 6(8)103/6
16.5OUTBhatia to Mascarenhas, out Caught by Manoj Tiwary!! Looks for the big hit but perishes. Slower one from Bhatia, Mascarenhas slogs across and mishits it very high towards long on, Tiwary judges it well and positions himself under it to take a good catch. Punjab are going nowhere. Mascarenhas c Manoj Tiwary b Bhatia 9(10) [4s-1]101/5
16FOURBrett Lee to Mascarenhas, FOUR, some runs finally, Lee sprays it on the legs and Mascarenhas glances it away past short fine leg, that ends Lee's spell - a wonderful one despite that boundary96/4

16.3SIXBhatt to Kallis, SIX, what a way to finish things off! Tossed up on middle. Kallis charges down the wicket and just lifts it over the bowler's head. The ball goes as straight as an arrow and strikes the sight screen. A maximum seals the game for Kolkata127/2
16.2FOURBhatt to Kallis, FOUR, what an effort by David Hussey! Almost took a catch of nothing! Flighted outside the off stump. Kallis comes down the track and drives it high in the air. Hussey at deep extra cover lunges out to his right and somehow gets a hand to it but it still trickles over the ropes for a boundary121/2
15.1FOURMascarenhas to Gambhir, FOUR, very easy on the eye! Back of a length outside the off stump. Gambhir opens the face of the bat and plays a deft touch to run it down to third man for a boundary111/2
14.5FOURBhatt to Gambhir, FOUR, lovely timing! Tossed up outside the off stump. Gambhir gets onto the front foot and drives it to deep extra cover for a boundary106/2
13.5OTHERChawla to Gambhir, 1 run, tossed up on the off stump. Gambhir gets a good stride forward and drives it to sweeper cover for a single to bring up his fifty!96/2
12.2FOURBhatt to Kallis, FOUR, super cover drive! Flighted on the off stump. Kallis waits on it, gets his front foot forward and drives it on the up between extra cover and long off for a boundary87/2
