Vohra fell cheaply yet again

For a while, it looked like there was something special on the cards from Martin Guptill as he started off in a belligerent manner. He made his way to 23 runs off just 10 balls with the help of 4 fours and one humungous six before miscuing a knuckle ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The ball went straight up into the air and was caught cleanly by Moises Henriques at cover.

Manan Vohra, meanwhile, again failed to deliver on his promise as he was dismissed cheaply for just 3 by Ashish Nehra. As a result, Punjab found themselves tottering on a score of 37-2 in the fourth over, chasing a stiff target of 208 runs.

It also looked like they missed Hashim Amla as he had been in a great run of form in the tournament.
