But as soon as Kolkata openers landed on the field to chase the target. Suddenly it started raining with strong winds, causing the players to go out of the field only after one over of the second innings. The match was eventually canceled after a delay of more than an hour despite the best efforts of the ground staff. Both teams had to be satisfied with one point. However, where Punjab Kings looked happy with the performance of their batsmen today, the result was also disappointed at not coming to an end.
In the innings of Punjab Kings, there was a great partnership between Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh, both batsmen took a fierce class of KKR's bowling. Arya was in great form from the beginning, he easily put cover drives. While Prabhasimran played a great game and played more than one shots. Openers scored 43 runs in just four overs without any loss and finished power-play firmly at 56/0. Spin slowed the innings for a short time. Just 21 runs came in the next four overs. But Arya changed the gear with great maturity. He completed his half -century in just 27 balls. While both the batsmen were scoring fast against the fast bowlers, the spinners were honored.
