That's It! It took 10 overs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru to complete the chase. There was help for seamers upfront but it never felt like threatening for RCB batters except for a over or two. Phil Salt took the attack back and scored a half-century, received some support from Mayank Agarwal and Rajat Patidar too. RCB will wait in the final now while PBKS play winner of Eliminator.

Fifty! Last season Phil Salt had a good season but missed out on the play-offs. This season he appears in the play-offs and plays a solid knock taking his team to the threshold of a win. RCB are now nearing a comfortable victory and Salt completed his half-century in the way. 

29 May, 21:56 (IST)

Out! Mayank Agarawal departs but it is too little too late. Chaotic dismissal. Musheer Khan drifts around near the legstump, Agarwal tries to push, brushes the ball and it hits his shoes to lob up to the fielder in leg-slip. Musheer Kahn gets his maiden wicket. Mayank Agarwal c Shreyas Iyer b Musheer Khan 19(13).

29 May, 21:46 (IST)

Punjab Kings were creating pressure at one phase but Phil Salt has broken through it all in one over of Kyle Jamieson. Took on Kyle Jamieson and accumulated 21 runs off the over to give RCB a solid foundation. The targets looks well in control from here on. 

29 May, 21:33 (IST)

Out! First wicket for Punjab Kings and it is the big fish Virat Kohli. Kyle Jamieson makes the ball talk, nip away from length and Kohli stands tall to chop it and nicks off. The extra bounce does him. Has been the case here all evening. PBKS remain alive. Kohli c Josh Inglis b Jamieson 12(12).

29 May, 20:58 (IST)

Out! Josh Hazlewood returns to the attack and ends the Royal Challengers Bengaluru innings. Again bounce from good length, Azmatullah Omarzai slashed hard and the ball flew towards the wicketkeeper. Jitesh Sharma took a sensational catch to end the PBKS innings. RCB ahead here but we have seen 111 getting defended here. Azmatullah c Jitesh Sharma b Hazlewood 18(12).

29 May, 20:51 (IST)

Out! Harpreet Brar gets cleaned up. Brar and Azmatullah Omarzai were looking to stitch a short partnership but just after the time-out, Romario Shepherd hits the good length and the ball bounces enough to hurry Brar and take a deflection to knock over the stumps. PBKS are yet to cross 100. Harpreet Brar b Shepherd 4(11).

29 May, 20:34 (IST)

Out! The last hopes disappear for Punjab Kings. Marcus Stoinis was looking good and tried to go hard on Suyash Sharma but the ball turned off the surface and Stoinis ended up playing all-around it and the ball knocked over his stumps. Deep trouble for PBKS. Stoinis b Suyash Sharma 26(17).

29 May, 20:25 (IST)

Out! Punjab Kings look clueless here. Uses the impact sub to bring in debutant Musheer Khan. Musheer tries to get going with a sweep but Suyash Sharma beats him to trap in front of the wicket. They can't tick the scorecard right now and keep losing wickets. Musheer Khan lbw b Suyash Sharma 0(3).

29 May, 20:20 (IST)

Out! Cleaned up! The Punjab Kings free falls continues. They have to remember the match against KKR here when they stitched a partnership to get over 110 and gave themselves a chance. The surface looks difficult to bat on and they will have to give them a fighting chance. Right now, they are in trouble. Shashank Singh b Suyash Sharma 3(5).
