That's the end of that! The yorker can only be dug back to the bowler. Punjab are the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy champions!

drills this straight to point

muscled for six over long-off! But there's hardly a reaction. Uff

slovelled straight to long-off. Harpreet belts out a roar, Punjab are inches away from their maiden SMAT crown. Good catch under pressure by Ramandeep.

steps out and drills this down to long-on

fired in, hits him flush on the boot as he tries to swing it to the leg side

slices to deep point, won't take the single.

floats this full and across the right-hander, wide called.

it's Arshdeep's experience that's taking Punjab to the title! Sliced straight to short third. Arshdeep saw him trying to eye the cover fence and fires this acoss, yorker-length, away from his hitting arc. Can't get much bat on it. What an over, clutch over under pressure.

scoops this low full toss to square leg

heaved into the leg side, lands short of the fielder running in from deep midwicket

mishit but the long-on fielder has taken an outstanding catch diving forward. Arshdeep bangs one in to hit hard length, the batter tries to wallop the pull but can't get any power or timing. Anmolpreet's anticipation is outstanding as he runs in hard a good 20 yards before throwing himself full-stretch forward to take it nice and low.

slips it way outside the radar in trying to tuck up the batter, wide called

a catch has been taken finally! Is that the decisive blow? Krunal has to go for it, doesn't time this as well as he would've liked and Anmol makes no mistake running in from long-on

goes full, misses the yorker, turns out to be a juicy full toss and Solanki gets inside the line to scoop it over short fine. Carries all the way

yorker-length again, but it's too far wide, Vishnu Solanki uses his height to reach the delivery and squeeze this up and over third man. Outstanding awareness, excellent wrist work

carved behind point, four more! The target is well within the realms of possibility. Sid Kaul went for a wide yorker and ended up missing his length

swung away and he picks the gap between deep cover and long-off. Sid Kaul went slower ball again but Solanki held his shape, got underneath the length and bludgeoned that away

beaten by the leg-cutter outside off

it's the slower ball and he's hammered this up and over long-on! Massive hit. The game is well and truly alive. What sighters?
