PBKS 125-4 (11 ovs) vs RCB 241-7 | Scorecard

Left-arm spinner Swapnil is back into the attack. Shashank gets a thick outside edge second ball which goes past short thirdman for a four. But the spinner does well to give away just three runs from the rest of the over, in which he concedes just seven runs.

Punjab are 114/3 in 10 overs at the halfway mark, needing another 128 from the remaining 10 overs for victory.

Karn continues as Shashank heaves the first over square leg for a six and then takes one.

Jitesh looks to play the inside out lofted shot but gets it off the outside edge as the ball flies over short thirdman for a four.

Karn strikes next ball as Jitesh swings across the line but misses the ball to be bowled for 5 to continue his dismal run in IPL 2024.
