PBKS vs KKR: Punjab batsmen disappointed
Talking about the match, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to bat first. His decision proved to be completely wrong. Punjab openers Priyansh Arya (22 runs) and Prabhasimran Singh (30 runs) gave the team a good start. But other batsmen of the team were seen struggling to score runs. Apart from Priyansh and Prabhasimran, only Nehal Vadhera (10), Shashank Singh (18) and Xavier Bartlet (11) could reach the double digit score. Harshit Rana was the most successful bowler for KKR, he took 2 wickets for 25 runs. Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narayan also got two wickets each.
Punjab bowlers did wonders

Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi handled the innings after the score of 7 runs fell two wickets. KKR scored 62 runs when captain Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed in the 8th over. He was dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal. If Rahane had taken DRS, he would have survived, but he did not do so. Rahane scored 17 runs.
After Rahane, Angkrish was out on Chahal’s ball after scoring 37 runs. Glenn Maxwell sent Venkatesh Iyer to the pavilion.

From here, KKR needed 17 runs in 36 balls to win. In the 15th over, Arshdeep Singh dismissed Vaibhav Arora. On the first ball of the next over, Yansen bowled Russell and gave Punjab exciting.
