FOUR! Brijesh Sharma to Marcus Stoinis. Reverse Swing-In full toss, wide outside off stump moves in front Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. That's the end of the first innings and Punjab Kings have posted a strong total. Prabhsimran Singh led the attack with an impressive knock of 59 runs, setting the tone at the top of the order. Cooper Connolly provided momentum with a quick 30 runs off just 14 deliveries, while Marcus Stoinis capped things off with a powerful, unbeaten 62, to ensure Punjab ended their innings on a high note. From the Rajasthan Royals' perspective, the bowlers were disciplined in patches with Yash Raj Punja the pick of the bowlers, claiming two important wickets. Can the Rajasthan Royals successfully chase down the target, or will the Punjab Kings defend their total? The run chase is shortly.
