IPL 2022: Rating performances of teams in the third week

4. Punjab Kings – 8.5/10

PBKS are in the third position with three wins in five appearances in the tournament. They finally secured a much-needed victory after the heroics of Rahul Tewatia caused them a major upset in the last week. The team has used an attacking mindset in their favour, and is expected to play with the same template.

In their only appearance in the third week against MI, they were terrific with their batting performance to post a score of 198, with openers Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan providing a good start by hitting half-centuries. In the middle-order, Jitesh Sharma provided a late flourish with 30 off 15 balls.

In the bowling unit, Caribbean all-rounder Odean Smith finished with figures of 4/30 off three overs. With three wickets in the final over, he will certainly feel confident after sealing the game for the team. The next notable performance came from Kagiso Rabada, where he gave away 29 runs and picked two wickets.
