A rain-fed match with almost an hour and a half delay, Chinnaswamy finally hosted the match with a soaked, slow outfield. The match held with 14 overs a side went to Punjab Kings, who stole a 5-wicket win with Marcus Stoinis hitting the final runs having two more overs to go. Punjab Kings had 96 runs to chase down in 96 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave a good start, giving singles in the first over. Prabhsimran Singh (13), despite managing two boundaries, got caught by Tim David at mid-off while trying to hit Bhuvi's length ball. At a point when Priyansh Arya (16) was looking good, Josh Hazlewood gave another length delivery across. Arya got the height but not the distance, as Tim David took an easy, clear catch. Shreyas Iyer (7) and Josh Inglish (14) departed in the same over off Hazlewood. While Shreyas got a massive outside edge trying to swing the bat, Inglis suffered from a seventh stump short ball. Even Shashank Singh scored 1 before departing to Bhuvi. It was all about Nehal Wadhera (33 off 19 balls) for Punjab. Despite wickets falling, he did not step back, smacked 3 boundaries and an equal number of sixes until Stoin came and gave the final touch. Josh Hazlewood led the attack with 3 wickets for 14 runs (Econ 4.66). Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up 2 wickets but was slightly expensive (3-0-26-2). Yash Dayal, Krunal Pandya, and Suyash Sharma went wicketless, with Krunal being the most expensive (10 runs in 1 over).

It's not something usual for the Sher Squad to be good on the field, but today, they were different. From putting their body on the line to take diving catches and definitely not dropping easy ones, Punjab clicked the boxes. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were 7 down by the 9th over. Openers Phil Salt (4) and Virat Kohli (1) fell early to Arshdeep Singh’s sharp bowling, setting the tone for a shaky innings. Captain Rajat Patidar tried to steady things with a 23-run knock, but wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. Liam Livingstone (4), Jitesh Sharma (2), and Krunal Pandya (1) failed to contribute meaningfully, leaving RCB reeling. Only Tim David showed resistance, smashing a quickfire 50 off 26 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dismal batting effort. Marco Jansen was the standout, conceding just 10 runs in his spell while picking up 2 crucial wickets with tight lines and sharp bounce. Yuzvendra Chahal continued his impressive run, spinning a web around the middle order to return with figures of 2/11. Harpreet Brar may have gone for runs (2/25), but he dismissed two lower-order batters, including Bhuvneshwar and Yash Dayal. Xavier Bartlett also chipped in with a wicket, helping Punjab restrict RCB to just 95/9 in 14 overs. Well, with the win, Punjab Kings jumped to the second spot with 10 points from seven matches while RCB dropped down to fourth.
