Earlier KKR had obtained the toss and opted to bowl. Umesh Yadav who chanced on his construct persevered to wreak havoc with the original ball as he claimed four wickets. 

Bhanuka Rajapaksa did strive to stabilise issues for Punjab, but the southpaw lasted merely nine balls and managed to ranking 31 runs with three fours and as many sixes.

Moreover Rajapaksa, Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Raj Bawa also acquired starts, but could perchance no longer convert to high scores. A to hand 25-hump cameo from Kagiso Rabada helped Punjab put up 137, but that became as soon as the most they would elevate out.
