Drinks! Boom! Boom! Bang! That is how Punjab have started off their chase. A very similiar start to Bangalore's. They were 57/1 at the end of the Powerplay. It was post Powerplay when Punjab pulled things back with the ball. Bangalore will look to do the same. A very surprising tactic from Kohli as we have still not seen Sundar who has been superb in the Powerplay. Let's see if Kohli has some special trick in his sleeve.
