Priyansh Arya showed his promise, but it didn’t last long. He was fired fifth by Josh Hazlewood. The left-handed batsman left after scoring 24 runs from the ball of 19.

The Punjab King continued to lose wickets on a regular basis
Prabhsimran Singh didn’t see the best either. He lost a wicket on the 9th while trying to make a big shot with Krunal Pandya. The right-handed batsman left for 26 runs from 22 balls.
With the team getting caught up in 72/2, the responsibility was made to Schreyers Iyer Grandtain to lead the charge with a bat. Shreyas was in the game behind the stunning knock against the Mumbai Indians in the second qualifying round.
His undefeated 87 runnock helped the Punjab Kings chase 204 runs against the five-time IPL champions.
