Incredible last ball win against CSK will be one of their greatest wins ever. They won the match by 4 wickets.
Prabhsimran firecrackers at the start helped the team to get close to the target. Finally Livingstone destructive innings came for which he is famous for. He scored 40 runs in 24 balls. Shikhar Dhawan was also seen in great touch but he couldn’t convert his innings into a big one. Jitesh Sharma also tries some handy knocks in the death overs. Sikander Raza finally completes the winning moment for the team.
Arshdeep is constantly taking wickets. He takes 15 wickets till now and is 5th in the list of purple cap. Rabada’s expensive spells could worry the management as he is one of the main bowlers of the team. Rahul Chahar is also struggling with his expensive spells. Sam Curran also provided too many runs. PBKS needs to be more accurate with their bowlers who can provide wickets at regular intervals. Except Arshdeep, the remaining bowlers couldn’t provide any valuable spells.
