Prabhsimran Singh, batting on 28 runs, tried to play the scoop shot and lost his off-stump. The 24-year-old scored 28 off 18 balls with the help of four boundaries and a six. PBKS ended up with a massive total of 206 runs on the board from their 20 overs. Faf du Plessis had won the toss and chose to bowl first in DC’s last game of the season.
