Punjab bowling problems continue
It was a forgetable outing for the quisors of Punjab Kings.

Arshdeep Singh And Chahal was the only counters, while the rest of the attack was sword. Marco Jansen And Maxwell conceded the 39 and 40 races respectively in their short spells, and the lack of control in the middle of the middle has misunderstanding the visitors.
