Shreyas Iyer led his side easily as they reached their target in 19.2 overs from being 177/5 in just over 40 overs, thanks to an amazing innings from uncapped batsman Priyansh Arya who notched an unstoppable 77 off 49 balls to put PBKS back in control of proceedings.
Khaleel Ahmed took two wickets on Thursday to move into fourth spot on the leading wicket-takers’ list, with Noor Ahmad and Arshdeep Singh also moving up.
