Yuvraj gets cleaned bowled
Sangakarra top scores with a half-century
Kumar Sangakkara completes a run during his knock of 56 off 43 deliveries.
Sangakkara, who struck five fours and a six in his quickfire 56-run innings, stitched a crucial 53-run partnership with Wilkin Mota (12) to guide Punjab to a descent score of 134.
Sangakkara as quick as a gazelle
Wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara whips off the bails in a flash to stump Andrew Symonds for 25.
Opener Gibbs departed to the last delivery of the first over after the strategy break when his powerful cut off Yuvraj's delivery saw Piyush Chawla at backward point pouch a sharp catch.
Yuvraj sizzled again in his next over, sending the dangerous-looking Symonds (25 off 25) packing, Sangakkara first fumbling with the ball before effecting a brilliant stumping.
The bowler's next delivery then disturbed Rao's (0) stumps. It gave the left-arm spinner his second hat-trick in the Twenty20 event, the first coming against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
