Chahal strikes; Punjab Kings in trouble

May 15, 2024 22:25

Punjab 55-4 (9 ovs) vs Royals 144-9 | Scorecard

Spin introduced as Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack. He makes a tidy start, giving away five singles in his first over.

Spin from both ends as Yuzvendra Chahal comes into the attack from the other end.

Royals' hopes will rest big time on their spin twins, whose showing in the middle overs could go a long way in deciding the outcome.

Chahal cripples Punjab further with the key wicket of Bairstow. After scoring a slow 14 from 22 balls, Bairstow looks to break free. He attempts to slog sweep Chahal but holes out to Ferreira at deep midwicket. Infact, Ferreira takes the catch quite comfortably but ends up relaying the ball to Parag even though it was not needed.

Punjab slip to 48/4 in eight overs.

In the next over, Jitesh Sharma, who has struggled for runs in IPL 2024, shows intent right away as he pulls the short ball from Ashwin over midwicket for six to take Punjab past the 50-run mark, in the ninth over.
