#5 Punjab’s pacers disappoint

Punjab bowlers failed to create an impact in today's match

Earlier in the game, Yadav wreaked havoc on Punjab’s batting by his blistering pace. Hence, everyone expected the likes of Mohit Sharma and Andrew Tye to challenge RCB’s batsmen.

However, Punjab’s fast bowlers had an off day as they failed to pick up crucial wickets at the top.

Sharma, in particular, was very disappointing as he leaked runs, going for 37 runs off his first three overs. He does not have the pace to trouble batsmen with his bouncers and his back of the hand slower delivery is easily picked by the batsmen these days.

Tye tried to make up by bowling a tight penultimate over but it was too late in the day as the game was firmly within RCB’s reach by then.
