Mullanpur: In a gripping encounter, Yuzvendra Chahal spearheaded a remarkable turnaround for Punjab Kings, claiming 4 wickets for 28 runs, leading his team to a 16-run victory against Kolkata Knight Riders in a low-scoring Indian Premier League match on Tuesday.

After limiting Punjab Kings to a mere 111 runs in just 16 overs, Kolkata Knight Riders appeared to be on track for an easy win, reaching 60 runs for the loss of two wickets within the first seven overs.

However, Chahal's exceptional bowling dismantled KKR's batting lineup, resulting in their collapse to 95 all out in just 15.1 overs.

Earlier in the match, Punjab Kings had a disastrous batting performance, crumbling from a solid start of 39 runs without loss to being bowled out for 111 runs in 15.3 overs. Harshit Rana was the standout bowler for KKR, taking 3 wickets for 25 runs, while Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine each contributed with two wickets.

Top scorers for Punjab included Priyansh Arya with 22 runs and Prabhsimran Singh, who scored 30 runs, but the team ultimately fell short, marking one of the lowest scores of the season.

Match Summary: Punjab Kings 111 all out in 15.3 overs (Prabhsimran Singh 30; Harshit Rana 3/25, Varun Chakravarthy 2/21, Sunil Narine 2/14) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders 95 all out in 15.1 overs (Angkrish Raghuvanshi 37; Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal 4/28) by 16 runs.
