STRATEGIC BREAK. With the big guns already back in the hut, this stumbling ship has been somewhat steadied by Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad’s quickfire partnership. However, they are far away from the destination as they need 88 more runs to win off just 4 overs remaining. If not for the win, they will try to bring the run difference down to as narrow as possible, so that their net run rate doesn’t take a bit dent. Of all the PBKS bowlers, Arshdeep Singh has been the best as he finishes his spell with extremely economical figures of 4-0-16-3. Punjab Kings would like to take more wickets from here and make sure they don’t concede too many boundaries as well. Here’s Marco Jansen (3-0-22-0) back on.
