In the second match of the day, i.e., LSG vs. PBKS, KL Rahul broke the deadlock of failures and scored 74 off 56 balls. While Rahul found some form, the other batsmen in the LSG lineup could not contribute something monumental and hence LSG could only post 159 on the board. In reply, PBKS got off to a horrific start and were reeling at 45 for 3 at the end of the batting powerplay. Punjab though got the needed solidarity from Matt Short, Harpreet Singh Bhatia, and Sikandar Raza. Raza top scored with 57 off 41 balls. The match though went down till the final over where Shahrukh Khan held his nerves and got his side home. Thus, the bottomline is, PBKS registered a 3-wicket win over LSG.
