However, Punjab Kings lost their last game to Delhi Capitals by 17 runs. After their loss, Mayank Agarwal said: “Between 5-10 we lost too many wickets and that’s where we lost the game. It was definitely chaseable for the batting we have, and the wicket wasn’t as bad as it seemed. There’s still a match to be played. Want to go out there and play the best cricket. Still haven’t played our best cricket and look forward to doing that in the last game.”
