Hyderabad beat Punjab by seven wickets to register their fourth win of the season. Winning the toss, Hyderabad sent in Punjab to bat first. Mayank Agarwal missed out on the game due to a toe injury, and Prabhsimran Singh got the chance to open the innings. Shikhar Dhawan did not look settled in the innings and gave away his wicket to Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the third over. T Natarajan also followed up with a wicket in the fifth over. He dismissed Singh for a team score of 33.
Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow were in the middle and took Punjab to 48 runs in the powerplay. Bairstow also departed after the powerplay in the seventh over to Jagadeesha Suchith.

The orange army's pursuit got off to a poor start once more. In the fourth over, they lost Kane Williamson to Kagiso Rabada.
