Vijay, Gurkeerat hit 50s to lift Kings XI Punjab to 172

Punjab 172-7 (20 ovs) vs Pune | Scorecard

The wickets keeps tumbling for Punjab in the last few overs. Axar swings Perera on the leg side but Deepak Chahar takes a superb catch inches inside the ropes and just when the momentum carries him over, he flicks the ball back to team mate Saurabh Tiwary. However unfortunate that the catch is credited to Tiwary and not Chahar, who did all the hard work.

Rishi Dhawan makes room and smashes the next delivery over the off-side for a six as Perera bowls a length delivery.

The right-hander gets two runs from the last two deliveries as Punjab finish on a healthy 172 for seven in their 20 overs.

A good total on a wicket which looks to be stopping at times especially for the spinners but nothing too alarming and Pune's good batting line-up will be confident of chasing down this total.
