Prabhsimran Singh and Sam Curran started well for Punjab, but the effort was short-lived as R Sai Kishore, showcasing his skill as a top Indian spinner, took impressive figures of 4/33. Mohit Sharma also played a key role, taking 2/32, including the crucial wicket of Prabhsimran Singh, leaving the Kings struggling to compete.
Sam Curran, the Punjab Kings captain, chose to bat first. The Kings fielded the same team as their previous match, while the Titans made a change by bringing in Azmatullah Omarzai for Spencer Johnson.
