Match Summary
On a tricky Chandigarh pitch, where batters from both sides struggled to settle, it was Punjab’s bowlers who outshone the rest. The team showcased great teamwork and temperament to defend a small total, sending a strong statement to the rest of the league about their fighting spirit.
For Kolkata, it was a case of missed opportunities as none of the middle-order batters could anchor the innings, even after a steady partnership between Rahane and Raghuvanshi.
