Chasing 158, Punjab got off to an impressive start as Jonny Bairstow cracked three fours off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the first over. He smacked Washington Sundar as well for two fours in the next over.
The bowler could have had his revenge in the same over but Umran Malik dropped a skier at short third man. The let-off, however, did not cost SRH as Fazalhaq Farooqi cleaned up the England batter for 23 off 15.
Shahrukh Khan was promoted to No. 3 and announced his arrival by whacking Bhuvneshwar for a maximum over deep midwicket. Dhawan then slapped Jagadeesha Suchith for consecutive sixes as PBKS ended the powerplay at 62/1. Malik, however, struck in the next over as Shahrukh (19) miscued a big hit off the fast bowler.
Bowled him!
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowls Bairstow out for 23 runs.

PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal’s sorry IPL 2022 came to a painful end. Malik's first ball hit him on the body. He did not recover from the blow and pulled Sundar straight to deep midwicket. Agarwal’s ungainly stay ended on one run off four balls.
SRH thought they could apply pressure on Punjab. However, Livingstone came in and creamed three sixes in two overs, including one off the first ball he faced from Sundar. Livingstone and Dhawan guided Punjab towards the target without much trouble before the latter was cleaned up by Farooqi for 39.
Fazalhaq Farooqi gets the breakthrough and Shikhar Dhawan departs for 39 runs.

Jitesh Sharma had a swat at literally every ball he faced and contributed a brisk 19 in seven balls. His cameo ended when he was caught at long-on off Suchith. Livingstone walloped Romario Shepherd for two maximums and as many fours in the 15th over, which cost Hyderabad 23. With two runs needed, Prerak Mankad hit the winning stroke with a boundary off Malik.

Priyam Garg (4) perished early to Kagiso Rabada, getting a leading edge trying to hit a length ball across the line. Abhishek and Rahul Tripathi looked in impressive touch once again. After Tripathi survived a caught and bowled against Ellis, the duo combined to strike a six and a four as SRH ended the powerplay at 43/1.

Tripathi, however, fell before his innings could flourish. On 20, he looked to sweep Brar over short fine leg but could only find the fielder. Abhishek struck a couple of handsome boundaries before he too fell to the Punjab spinner. The left-hander tried to slog Brar for a maximum but found a leaping Livingstone at long-on.
SRH lost further momentum as Nicholas Pooran nicked a full delivery from Ellis outside off stump and was back in the hut for fiver runs. Brar then beat Aiden Markram with turn and bounce and had him stumped for 21.
