Punjab need 173 runs to win in their 20 overs

Parthiv: The ball was coming on nicely. Mitchell Johnson bowls with pace so it was easy to hit early on. As an opener you have to take some chances in the first six overs and it was good to get a fifty. However, the pitch slowed down as the innings progressed and I think 172 is a good score.
