The incident happened in the fourth ball of the fifth over as Bhuvneshwar bowled the ball a touch fuller, on the off and angling away. Dhawan took a chance and stepped down the track with the keeper standing up to the stumps. The batter missed the ball completely and Klaasen showed off his quick hands to collect and break the stumps in a flash.

Chasing 183 to win, Punjab Kings failed to get off to a good start and their batters looked in a hurry in the powerplay. Some strange shot selections from them and they were three down inside the six overs with not much on the board. In fact, it was the lowest powerplay score in this season so far.
It was then the duo of Sikandar Raza and Sam Curran who steadied the ship for a bit with a partnership of 38 runs before the latter was dismissed after playing a few lusty blows. Raza then changed gears and took the innings forward along with Shashank Singh but he too perished trying to up the ante.
Jitesh Sharma came in a scored a quick-fire 19 off just 11 balls to keep their hopes alive. The match-winning duo from the last game, Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank got together and almost pulled off a thrilling win with the former scoring 33 off just 15 balls, and the latter smashing 46 off 25 deliveries. They needed 29 runs in the last over but ended up falling short by a couple of runs.
