Kings XI vs Chargers, 49th match at Johannesburg, IPL, May 17 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

Punjab have won this. Fulltoss on off stump, Harris crashes it through the off side, Lee fields at sweeper-cover, there is a fumble that allows them the second. Jaskaran Singh wants the third, but Harris is so disappointed he is not even looking. Jaskaran would have had a fair shot at the third run that could have tied the game. This still would have been a run-out in all possibility because the throw was on target, but Harris should have run the third. Even Sanga, the keeper, can't believe it

has Pathan done it once and for all? Can't say by the way this match has gone, another slower ball, moves away from RP, who looks for another slog, gets the toe end, and the ball lobs back to the right of Pathan

Slower ball, Singh looks for a loft over midwicket, misses, and the ball bounces over the stumps by inches

and the game turns again, length ball again, Rohit looks to go midwicket, misses, Pathan hits the leg stump, what a game, what an over

and a wide, what's happening here, wide yorker outside off

and Sharma enjoys the luck he deserves after two superb back-to-back innings, slower ball, length ball, Sharma looks extra cover, loses his shape, gets a thick edge, it goes over short third man, and it's four all the way

slower ball, makes room once again, hits to long-off, runs two, as if their life depended on that, well done Harris

good comeback, but has the damage been done? yorker, on the off stump, Sharma digs it out and gets a single

Lee loses the script, Sharma stays cool, no-ball, yorker outside off, Sharma makes room and crashes it through point. 5 runs and a free hit to boot

length ball, and Rohit hits another six, what are you made of Sharma, cleared the front leg, and played a pick-up, over deep backward square this time

and Rohit runs again even before the ball reaches the batsman, this is another bouncer that Harris misses, but Rohit makes the bye. Touch and go for a wide for height

length ball, on the stumps, Sharma slogs towards midwicket, where Powar dives superbly to keep them down to one

Rohit takes it all in his hand, he runs even before the ball has reached the batsman. It's a slower bouncer, which Teja misses, but Rohit is taking the single come hail or storm. Teja is late, and Lee gets him at the non-striker's end

Teja tries the big shot, as opposed to a single, makes room, slashes outside off, and misses

intelligent, very intelligent, he goes for the scoop this time, and connects the length ball cleanly, clearing the short fine eaily, 18 off the over, Yuvraj will ask himself again and again about this bowling chase if Punjab lose

length ball, just outside off, and Sharma goes midwicket again, misses it completely this time

uff Sharma is up to it again, another fulltoss, this one low, Sharma clears the front leg, and goes midwicket again

Sharma threatens a reprise, this was a fulltoss, and he rocks back into the crease and launches it into the scoreboard behind midwicket

swinging yorker, swinging in late, and played towards deep backward square

full, just short of a yorker, and played towards deep point, Punjab will take singles
