NEW DELHI: Punjab Kings surged to fourth place in the Indian Premier League 2025 points table after pulling off a sensational 16-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in a dramatic low-scoring clash at Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Tuesday.
Defending a mere 111 — the lowest total ever successfully defended in IPL history — Punjab’s bowlers delivered a masterclass to bowl out KKR for just 95 in 15.1 overs. The victory marked PBKS's fourth win in six games, taking their tally to 8 points and significantly boosting their playoff hopes.
