The Punjab Kings (PBKS) concluded their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign with a 5-wicket victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Needing 158 to win, PBKS chased down the total with 29 balls and five wickets to spare. Jonny Bairstow and Shikhar Dhawan had given PBKS a flying start before the former was dismissed. Dhawan and Liam Livingstone then put PBKS back in the contest before Jitesh Sharma also took the game to the SRH bowlers.
Earlier, Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis starred with the ball as PBKS restricted SRH to a total of 157 for eight. After opting to bat, SRH lost the wicket of Priyam Garg early. Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi then steadied their ship, adding 47 runs for the second wicket. However, both batter were dismissed in quick succession as PBKS pegged SRH back. SRH were reeling at 96 for five at one stage before Romario Shepherd and Washington Sundar provided them with some much-needed impetus.
