The game between SRH and PBKS is quite evenly poised as SRH have lost both their openers in the run-chase of 144. At the time of writing, SRH are 67-2 at the end of 10th over and now have Tripathi and skipper, Aiden Markram to take them to safer shores.

Punjab Kings reached 143 on the back of a scintillating 99 from Shikhar Dhawan who single handedly took his team to a score through which they could muster a fight in the second half. Harry Brook opened the innings in this game for SRH alongside Mayank Agarwal but both of them could not make a big impact as they departed after a decent start.

Arshdeep Singh was the one who provided the breakthrough for Punjab Kings by knocking over dangerous Harry Brook in the fourth over and then Chahar outfoxed Mayank in the 9th over. Tripathi though is looking good and SRH still have plenty of batting to follow which would keep their supporters pretty optimistic. It remains to be seen how Dhawan handles his resources and they would need couple of wickets quickly to create some panic in SRH dressing room.
