While the opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank Agarwal collected 71 runs in 7 overs, Bhanuka Rajapaksa added a blistering 43 off 22 later. However, the team's chase was hurt badly after Mohammed Siraj ousted Rajapaksa and Raj Bawa back to back in the 13th over. Punjab lost Liam Livingstone (19 off 10) in the following over. Thereafter, Odean Smith and Shahrukh khan (24 off 20) took charge as they helped Punjab chase down their highest target in IPL against RCB.
