A look at his batting summary here 👇👇 #TATAIPL pic.twitter.com/8mvjPMXnSW
The Punjab Kings, who haven’t entered the play-offs since their penultimate participation in 2014, placed sixth in the 10-team tournament, while the Sunrisers finished eighth.
It aided Dhawan’s accumulation game as Punjab continued their all-out assault attitude despite Sunrisers dropping some sitters on the field. Worst of all was Washington Sundar’s blunder, which occurred when Livingstone attempted to strike Jagadeesha Suchit against the turn and offered a dolly at the point.
With Romario Shepherd’s 15th over going for 23 runs, there were far too many on-field blunders. Punjab Kings bowlers had previously shown great restraint, limiting SRH to 157 for 8 in 20 overs.
Arshdeep Singh (0/25 in 4 overs) was the pick of the bowlers, with wickets of Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram. Harpreet Brar (3/26 in 4 overs) was the choice of the bowlers, with wickets of Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram.
The game had little more than academic intrigue left in it after four qualifiers were already determined on Saturday, and the ‘Orange Army’ appeared tired and more like going through the motions while batting before sprucing up their scores in the final few overs.
