Punjab Kings defended the lowest total in IPL history, stunning Kolkata Knight Riders by 16 runs after posting just 111. KKR seemed in control at 62 for 2, but Yuzvendra Chahal’s 4 for 28 triggered a collapse, with KKR bowled out for 95. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett also struck early, while Arshdeep Singh sealed the win with hostile short-pitched bowling. Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya had given PBKS a brisk start, but their innings collapsed against KKR’s spinners. Andre Russell briefly threatened with a flurry of boundaries but fell trying to finish the chase, handing PBKS a dramatic victory.
