They will want their top-order batters to set a nice platform and put them in a position from where their finishers can take over. Punjab still need to believe that they are in this game and they have a fighting total on the board. They will need to come out with positive intent and look for wickets early to set the tone for their game. Will they be able to pull off a remarkable defense? Or will this be a walk in the park for the reigning champions? Punjab got off to the worst possible start losing Prabhsimran Singh on the second delivery of the inning off the bowling of Mohammad Shami and Joshua Little dismissed Punjab's inform skipper Shikhar Dhawan inside the Powerplay. Matthew Short played a good counter-attacking cameo scoring 36 runs in 24 balls but was dismissed by a magical delivery from the magician Rashid Khan. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Jitesh Sharma looked to rebuild the innings but lowered the scoring rate in the process and could not convert their starts. Sam Curran and Shahrukh Khan also added 20-run scores but in the end they ill feel they are well short of a commanding total. This has been a struggle for Punjab as they were never able to get any sort of momentum but a late charge has helped them cross the 150-run mark. A score of 153 should be under-par on a good batting surface and Gujarat will be silently confident of overcoming this target. This has been an outstanding bowling performance by the reigning champions as all the bowlers contributed with wickets. Mohit Sharma was by far the pick of the bowlers on his debut taking 2 wickets for 18 runs in his four overs while the other four chipped in with one each. They were good in the field as well as they kept it really tight and never allowed the opposition to get away with the scoring rate. What a sublime way to get off the mark! Fuller and outside off shaping away this time Shubman Gill plants his front foot forward and just caresses it in between mid off and extra cover for a boundary. That is a shot and a half! A touch fuller and around off stumps at 145.4 clicks Wriddhiman Saha punches it on the up and the ball speeds through wide mid off for a boundary. In this IPL Arshdeep Singh has leaked runs at an economy of 10.9 when he has bowled full in the powerplay (26.2%). However as he pulls his length back the economy is better. Excellent timing and Gujarat are flying now! Good length on the pads and at 146.3 clicks Shubman Gill gets his hands in front of his pads and gently pushes it in front of mid-wicket for a boundary. Fuller in length and outside off take pace off as well. Wriddhiman Saha goes through with the drive and pierces the gap at extra cover to find the fence yet again. Just over! Arshdeep Singh comes from around the wicket and angles in another fuller delivery into middle and leg. Wriddhiman Saha plays a checked-drive and gets it just over Sam Curran at mid on. The ball speeds away into the fence. A bit streaky but that will be the third boundary of the over and there are still two deliveries left. Another bumper from around the wicket and over the stumps. Wriddhiman Saha tries to take it on but gets a top edge that flies one-bounce over the fine leg fence for a boundary. Wriddhiman Saha is simply toying with the field now and 18 runs off the over already! Full and wide Saha reaches out and squeezes it in between short third man and backward point for a boundary.
