Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the Match: Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone played another quick cameo for the Punjab Kings in their previous game after coming in at four and helped his side get off the blocks. The right-hander hit two sixes and a four in his 7-ball 19 and provided the final flourish that was needed for the Punjab Kings desperately. He will be looking to continue his good form in the tournament.

Probable best bowler of the Match: Arshdeep Singh

Arshdeep Singh has quietly become one of the best death bowlers in the tournament so far with an excellent economy rate and the left-arm seamer has managed to repay the faith shown by the franchise. He managed to hold his nerves against top finishers like MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja and gave away just 23 runs including taking a wicket against CSK.
