Punjab started their innings brilliantly with openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, adding 57 runs for the first wicket. Mayank Agarwal went for gritty 26 runs but on the other hand, KL Rahul remained in his rhythm. The middle-order was not in the good frame as Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell didn't score much and got out to Shivam Dubey.
Chasing a mammoth score of 207 runs, the Virat Army had a very poor start and the team lost 3 wickets for a total of just 4 runs which included the wickets of Devdutt Padikkal, Josh Philip and Virat Kohli. After this, AB de Villiers and Aaron Finch looked to be partnering, but spinner Ravi Bishnoi broke the partnership by dismissing Aaron Finch and after that the entire innings of the team was shattered like cards.
