After 6 overs,Punjab Kings 63/0 ( Prabhsimran Singh 45 , Shikhar Dhawan (C) 14)
A much better over from Jason Holder after the West Indian all-rounder is introduced in the final over of the powerplay. Just seven off this one, after 40 runs are scored in each of the last three. Excellent effort by Yashasvi Jaiswal to restrict Prabhsimran to a single in the fourth delivery after it appeared to go for a boundary. Prabhsimran, who's batting on 45 at the end of the over, goes for an aerial drive towards extra cover where the fielder gets his fingertips on the ball. Punjab reach 63 without losing a wicket at the end of what turned out to be a superb powerplay. Timeout signalled by the umpire.

FOUR! DOT. FOUR! SIX! Huge over from KM Asif, one that will likely force skipper Samson to take him off the attack as Prabhsimran smacks a length ball over mid off before cutting one behind point for a second boundary in the over and following it up with a short-arm pull over the midwicket region for his second maximum of the innings. An underpressure Asif concedes a wide in the penultimate delivery before getting hit for a four for a third time in the over — Prabhsimran charging down the track and going aerial over extra cover.19 off the over.

Daren Ganga analyses the Barsapara pitch:
“Wonderful facility. Green outfield. Amazing stands. The dimensions are quite unique. One square boundary is larger than the other one. Teams might be more inclined to chase. Pitch looks a belter. It will be a high-scoring one. Little grass, few cracks, should be good for batting. If you use your pace variations and turn the ball, it might get challenging. Might have some dew later in the evening.”
