Punjab, who currently sit in the sixth position in the points table, in their previous game had failed to perform as a unit as they lost against SRH by 8 wickets. Batting first, Punjab managed to accumulate just 143 runs and that too with the help of captain, Shikhar Dhawan’s breezy knock (99 runs). Defending 144, Punjab bowlers had failed to pick up wickets as Sunrisers batters’ quickfire cameos saw the unit chase down the target with ease.
Talking about Gujarat’s performance in their previous game, their batters did well to help the side reach a challenging total. But when it came down to defending 205, except Rashid Khan (3-fer) and Alzarri Joseph (2-fer), all other bowlers managed to claim just one wicket and that too at the expense of too many runs, therefore costing Gujarat the match.
