But a flying Atharva Taide jumps and puts out his left hand to take a blinder of a catch.With that SKY had to return back to the pavilion after a good knock, but it was SKY’s demise that marked the end of the game for the hosts. In the end, the Punjab Kings wrapped up a clean 13 run win to grab 2 points into their points table.
