Punjab won by 7 wkts | Kings XI Punjab Vs Cape Cobras T20 Match 17 Group B

So that concludes the Super Sunday! Join us back for a single-header tomorrow as Kolkata take on Dolphins at Hyderabad.
Patel: 'I am happy to bowl in any situation. I batting and bowling well.'
Akshar Patel is the Man of the Match
Bailey: 'Great fightback by the bowlers, they were none for 60. It was a challenging wicket, it was holding up a little bit. He does a wonderful job throughout in the innings and does it in a short sleeve shirt which is a nice to see for a spinner. They (Akshar and Karanveer) are bowling well together.'
Vilas: 'We knew that we had to put a good total, especially against a strong batting unit. Unfortuanately we didn't get enough runs on the board. We were a little rusty at the start and were playing catch up all the time and it becomes very hard to recover in such a tournament. The spinners bowled beautifully, we tried everything but like I said, not enough runs on the board.'
Another comprehensive win for Bailey's boys. Though Amla and Levi got the Cobras off to a flier, Punjab took pace off the ball and put the breaks on the scoring rate. Akshar Patel and Anureet Singh bagged three wickets each and were backed up very well by Karanveer Singh. Chasing 136, Vohra and Sehwag started off in a positive manner but threw away their starts. However, Saha anchored the innings, while Maxwell and Miller played cameos to get Punjab past the line.
