Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowler Vaibhav Arora bagged his second wicket of the night when he dismissed the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder, Moeen Ali, during their match on Sunday.
Vaibhav had taken his maiden wicket earlier when he dismissed Robin Uthappa and he went one-up on it and saw the back of Moeen soon after. The Englishman can cause quite some damage in the powerplay and it was important for PBKS to get him out early.
Vaibhav was the man for the occasion and his nagging back of a length delivery reaped rewards. Moeen failed to negotiate with the inward angle as well, getting a thick edge on an attempted slash.
It ricocheted back onto the stumps and ended Moeen’s stint at the crease. Following his dismissal, CSK was in deep trouble as they were down at 22/3 while chasing 181 on a good batting surface.
Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone finally lived up to his billing in the IPL and smashed a brisk 60 off 32 balls. It included five fours and five sixes, one of which became the longest of the IPL 2022 season after it travelled 108m.
On the back of his knock, PBKS managed to put a healthy total of 180 on the board, albeit they could have easily crossed the 200-run mark if a few of their batters applied themselves at the crease.
