It was the spinners though who ensured that Punjab were unable to fight back to a high total.

Chawla, after Sehwag's wicket, returned to remove David Miller and Punjab skipper George Bailey for relatively low scores. (BCCI image)

Sunil Narine managed to clean Punjab's tail and helped himself to three wickets as well. (BCCI image)

Batting on this track though was not an easy prospect - one that was made tougher by Punjab's Sandeep Sharma who brought his side right back into the match once the chase began. (BCCI image)

Even skipper Gautam Gambhir could not produce an innings which could be raved about.

After failing to score in the previous three matches, he dropped himself to No. 3 but could only manage a single run before being dismissed by Sharma. (BCCI image)

Hero from the previous match - Chris Lynn - is seen here after being bowled for just 13 off 18 deliveries. (BCCI image)
