Bairstow's Century Powers Punjab to Victory
Punjab Kings (262/2) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (261/6) by 11 runs
In a pulsating encounter on a batting paradise, Punjab Kings emerged victorious over Kolkata Knight Riders by a narrow margin of 11 runs. Jonny Bairstow's scintillating century and a steady contribution from the middle order proved to be the difference on a pitch tailored for batsmen.
Set a daunting target of 262 by KKR, PBKS got off to a flying start thanks to an explosive innings from Bairstow. The English opener plundered the KKR bowlers, amassing 108 runs off just 48 deliveries, including nine towering maximums. His innings catapulted PBKS to a commanding position before the fall of his wicket.
Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh continued the momentum, adding crucial runs to the total. Shashank contributed a brisk 68, while Prabhsimran played a valuable knock of 54. Their contributions gave PBKS the cushion they needed to defend their mammoth score.
In response, KKR started strongly with Aaron Finch leading the charge. However, Sunrisers bowlers, led by spinner Narine (1-24), applied the brakes on the scoring rate and kept the required run rate high. Despite a late surge from Andre Russell, KKR fell just 11 runs short of the target, handing PBKS a deserved victory.
