Rahul Tripathi joined Abhishek Sharma in the middle and the duo stitched a partnership of 47 runs to steady the Hyderabad innings.

They formed a partnership of 58 runs and ensure that the team gets to a par total at the end of the 20 overs. Sundar scored 25 runs off 19 deliveries, while Shepherd remained unbeaten on 26 off 15 balls.

Harpreet Brar was the bowler with the best figures for Punjab with 3 wickets for 26 runs from his four overs.
While chasing a moderate total Punjab made a blazing start as opener Jonny Bairstow (23 of 15) came out with a go for the kill attitude, But he was dismissed in the third over of the innings when the team’s score was 28 runs. Sharukh Khan replaced Bairstow in the middle and continued the momentum for his team. He also went all guns blazing before being dismissed by Umran Malik in the seventh over of the innings for 19 runs off 10 balls. Shikhar Dhawan however was batting steadily at the other end and looked determined to guide his team home. Mayank Agarwal (1 of 4) failed to impact the scorecard as he was dismissed by Washington Sundar in the eighth over of the innings. This brought Liam Livingstone in the middle and he tore apart the Hyderabad bowling fromthere’s the very beginning of his innings making the target appear with each passing delivery.
