Punjab 30-0 (4 ovs) vs Sunrisers 132-6 |  Scorecard


Sunrisers will need to strike early with the new ball as if Chris Gayle and KL Rahul get going this match could be over soon.

Pacer Sandeep Sharma makes a tidy start, as both Gayle and Rahul can only pick a single each with just two coming from the first over.

Off-spinner Mohammed Nabi to bowl the second over. Gayle has had enough of the defending as he comes down the track and lofts Nabi straight back over his head for a six followed by two singles.

Gayle has a close shave as he looks to come down before deciding to leave it alone. Wicketkeeper Saha whips off the bails in a flash but Gayle has dragged his feet back in time.

Gayle and Rahul continue to be watchful against Sandeep as they collect four easy singles from his second over.

Punjab break free as Rahul takes Nabi to the cleaners in the fourth over. The off-spinner drops short as Rahul pulls it over midwicket for a six and the cuts a short ball past point for a four.

Rahul then shuffles across and sweeps the fifth ball over short fine leg for another boundary before keeping strike with a single from the last ball.
