Tilak Varma is bowled out by Arshdeep Singh as the middle stump gets shattered into two pieces. Singh delivers a full and straight ball, tempting Varma to swing hard and straight, causing him to lose his balance and shape.
The ball sneaks through the gap between the bat and pad, striking the stumps. With this wicket, Punjab is now in a commanding position, and it’s theirs to lose. With just 3 balls left and 15 runs needed, there’s a bit of a delay as a new stump is required. Nehal, the impact sub, has no other option but to go all out and attack from the very first ball.
Arshdeep Singh strikes again as he bowls Nehal Wadhera out with an almost identical delivery to Tilak Varma’s dismissal. The only difference being that Wadhera had walked down the pitch, making it look even more challenging.
Once again, the middle stump was broken as Singh delivered a full ball, striking the base of the middle peg. Despite his hopeful shuffle-down-bat-swing, Wadhera had no chance. Now the question is, can Singh get a hat-trick?
Jofra Archer hits a high full toss outside off for a single run, but can only manage to hit it as far as wide long-off. As a result, Punjab Kings win the match by a margin of 13 runs. Dhawan breathes a sigh of relief as he exits the dugout to congratulate his teammates.
