LIVE | Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Scorecard: SRH 206/4 (18)
Two final overs left in the game as SRH batters would like to maximise the effort completely. Arshdeep Singh, who has already given 42 runs in 3 overs, will bowl the all important 19th over in the match.

The final four overs are left as Nitish Kumar Reddy and Aniket Sharma are in the middle. Aniket has not been able to connect with a big shot in the last few deliveries he played. Klaasen has to free his arms in this over for sure.

LIVE | Punjab Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Scorecard: OUT!!!
That is a big wicket and a phenomenal catch by Marco Jansen to dismiss Ishan Kishan. Arshdeep has crouched down with his hands on his mouth to see the effort. What a take from the left-arm quick at the boundary.

DROPPED!!! Arshdeep Singh created a chance on the first delivery of his third over, but Marcus Stoinis failed to hold on to the catch. This will definitely annoy Arshdeep. The partnership between the two batters stands at 45 off 33 balls.
