After this, Bairstow (9) was also run out in the same over.
Sam Curran’s half-century innings

Jitesh Sharma was out cheaply. Punjab looked to be in trouble after losing 4 wickets at the score of 100, but Sam Curran stood from one end and got full support from Livingstone.
Both the batsmen made a half-century partnership and took Punjab Kings closer to victory. It seemed that Sam would return after leading the team to victory, but in the 19th over, Khalil Ahmed bowled him on the third ball. After this, Shashank Singh walked on the next ball without opening the account. Khalil Ahmed made the match exciting by taking two wickets in two balls. But in the 20th over, Livingstone took the team to the target by hitting a six.
