The story for the Punjab Kings has been almost the same too. Their middle-overs economy of 8.39 is the third-best among all the teams in this IPL, while they have gone for only 29 sixes so far, the joint second-best of the tournament. They have also picked up the same number of wickets (24) along with the Chennai Super Kings.

It’s their batting which have made the difference. Even after having Shivam Dube in the side, CSK have the second-worst strike rate of 135.37 in the IPL 2024. Punjab Kings’ 139.96 strike rate is the fourth worst in this competition.
