Punjab Kings edge out RCB in low-scoring match
- Published
Punjab Kings edged out Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets to move up to second in the table in the Indian Premier League.
In a match reduced to 14 overs per side, the Kings impressively restricted their hosts to 95-9.
The loss of regular wickets slowed their pursuit but they were always ahead of the required run-rate.
They won with 11 balls to spare - Nehal Wadhera ending 33 not out from 19 balls.
RCB, who have now lost all three of their home matches this year, only reached their total because of 50 not out from Australia all-rounder Tim David.
They were 42-7 in the ninth over with Phil Salt out for four, Virat Kohli one and Liam Livingstone four.
The Kings are level on 10 points with Delhi Capitals, who remain top courtesy of their superior net run-rate.
RCB are fourth on eight points.
