Earlier in the game, Punjab Kings recovered from a precarious position to post a mammoth total of 214 for 8 after being asked to bat first. After Matthew Short was dismissed by Cameron Green for just 11, Prabhsimran Singh and Atharva Taide put PBKS in a commanding position.

Harpreet Singh Bhatia and Sam Curran shared a 92-run stand to put PBKS in a commanding position. The duo started cautiously and collected only 22 runs from over 11 to 14. In the 15th over, they collected 13 runs before  Curran and Harpreet hit Arjun for 4 fours and two sixes in the 16th over to collect 31 runs.

The partnership came to an end in the 18th over when Cameron Green dismissed Harpreet for 41. In the same over, Curran and Jitesh Sharma hit two sixes each to continue PBKS’ march towards a big score.

Curran hit his compatriot Jofra Archer for two more fours to complete his fifty off just 26 balls before being dismissed. Jitesh went on to finish things off on a solid note by hitting two more sixes in the final over before being dismissed for 25 off just 7 balls.
