What a finish after what a start. Pandey has played superbly. And he and Kohli have taken 23 from the last over. Now Bangalore need to lose in 11.1 overs if they are to bow out of the tournament. Improbable. Bangalore bowl 68 legal deliveries, and Punjab are out.
But what is more interesting now is, whether Bangalore can take the third place on the table or no. Will be a stiff chase, this one

Singh to Kohli, SIX, and what a way to finish, another length ball, and flicked over midwicket, not much back lift, no follow through, sweet timing, RP has been dismantled in this over
19.5

Singh to Kohli, 2 runs, length ball, Kohli goes leg side, gets a leading edge, but no one wants to catch the skier at cover, neither Ojha from mid-off nor Harris from sweeper-cover
19.4
6
Singh to Kohli, SIX, Kohli joins the party, this is short, because he is not reputed to play the bouncer well, but he rocks back and pulls it sweetly over midwicket

Singh to Pandey, 1 run, back of a length, makes room, and slashes it through the covers, will be only one

Singh to Pandey, SIX, oh boss, even Gibbs can't do anything about it, this is another length ball, and he has smoked it down the ground, over Gibbs

Singh to Pandey, 2 runs, shot, this is absolutely smoked down the ground, length ball, and hit powerfully, but Gibbs is too good at long-on, dives and saves four
RP to bowl the last over

It's a pity that TV cut into ads, and didn't show the celebrations
Right the century is out of the way. Time to open up now

Symonds to Pandey, 2 runs, there it is, gets a two to wide of long-on, an unlikely centurion, the first Indian to do so in all IPL matches. An unlikely opener first of all, but what an innings - he has slogged merrily, he has also played some smart cricket. More importantly he has rode his luck. Take a bow Pandey
