Punjab 's new-ball duo of VRV Singh and Manpreet Gony rattled Madhya Pradesh early, and paved the way for their team to qualify for the semi-finals, with a seven-wicket win at the Bandra Kurla Complex . MP chose to bat, but VRV Singh and Gony reduced them to 16 for 6 in 5.2 overs. Rameez Khan and Ankit Sharma gave the score some respectability with their 74-run partnership, but 120 was not enough to challenge Punjab's batting. VRV Singh finished with 4 for 24, while Gony had remarkable figures of 4-3-5-3. Gurkeerat Singh ensured the chase was comfortable, with 57 off 49 balls. Punjab will play Mumbai in the second semi-final, on Monday.
