Marcus Stoinis: Has been a slow start for me, but that felt nice. Looks like there was a bit of spin and bounce. It was all about staying still. It is very good score. We will want to start well in the powerplay.
9.22pm That is some finish from big Stoinis who has clobbered an unbeaten 34 off just 11 balls to push Punjab Kings to 245 for 6. That's a solid, solid score from PBKS after batting first. Carnage all around right from the start. Each of the five bowlers went at over 10 runs an over with Cummins being the most economical (!) at 10-0-40-0. Arya and Prabhsimran started like the wind adding 66 in just 3.6 overs before Arya fell. Prabhsimran and Iyer then stitched a quick second-wicket stand. Iyer slammed 82 off 36 before Stoinis finished on a high. Harshal picked four wickets but there was grim reading all around for the SRH bowlers.
avikrams: "its mater of travis head and abhishek sharma partnership, if that happened well, PBKS will fall short of runs :)"
Nayab : "Cummins has been underwhelming this season after picking just 4 wickets in 6 games."
Tcj: "Slot ball, full toss, slot ball, full toss. Shami didn't do himself any favors there."
Arun: "That's the second worst figures in IPL history. Just missing the mark set by Jofra Archer earlier in this edition "
