Pbks vs rcb Qualifier-1: In IPL Qualifier-1, Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Punjab Kings by 8 wickets to make it to the finals. Punjab’s performance in this match played in Mullanpur was disappointing, seeing that the team’s co-owner Preity Zinta was very disappointed. His reaction is also becoming viral on social media.
RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl first. Powerplay’s last wicket in Punjab Kings’s innings was taken by Josh Hazlewood as Josh English, this was the fourth wicket of the team on 38. Earlier, Priyansh Arya (7), Prabhasimran Singh (18), Shreyas Iyer (2) had returned to the pavilion cheaply.
After this, Nehal Vadhera (8), Shashank Singh (3) were also dismissed cheaply. Seeing the small score, Punjab fielded Mushir Khan as an impact player, but he continued without opening an account. Marcus Stoinis (26) and Azmatullah Omarzai (18) scored some important runs to bring the team’s score to 100. In a big match like qualifier, the entire team of Punjab was reduced to 101 runs.
Preity Zinta disappointed
This season Preity Zinta looked quite happy in every match because her team was performing brilliantly. But in qualifier-1, it was not felt that this is the performance of the first number team in the points table. In the match, the camera was also going on Preity Zinta again and again, in which her disappointment was clearly visible.
