Strategic Break. Before the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh, Punjab Kings were going great guns, but after his departure, the scoring seems to have slowed down a bit. The last two overs have gone for just 9 runs, including Singh's wicket. However, PBKS are still marching nicely above 10 runs per over. With two big batters in the middle, Shreyas and Maxwell, they would aim to score in excess of 200, on a pitch where batting is difficult. Here's Varun Chakaravarthy to continue after the break.

Sunil Narine to Shreyas Iyer, Drags the length back and it is a bit quicker, on middle, Shreyas Iyer turns it off the pads to deep square leg for a single. Good last 12 balls for KKR. Just 9 runs off it and the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh.
