Chasing a challenging target of 206, Punjab rode on all-round batting performance to chase down the total in 19 overs. Shikhar Dhawan (43), Bhanuka Rajapaksa (43), Shahrukh Khan (24 not out) and Odean Smith (25) played significant cameos to help Punjab clinch a commanding victory at the DY Patil Stadium.
