Goa suffer a very early setback as Arjun Tendulkar departs for just one run off eight balls, being caught by Prabhsimran off Sukhdeep. Snehal Kauthankar comes on as the new batter.

Just in the second ball of the fourth over, and Goa lose their second wicket as Bakle is dismissed for just five runs of five balls. Bajwa gets his second wicket of the day, with Anmolpreet taking the catch.

Punjab get their third breakthrough right before the end of the powerplay, with Kauthankar being caught on the pads by Bhagat for 16 off 18. Suyash, who is batting well at 31 off 27, is trying to rebuild the Goa innings with the new batter, Lalit Yadav.

Suyash's brilliant half-century knock comes to an end as he is caught plump on the pads by Markande. The Goa batter has to depart for 66 off just 43 balls, which includes eight fours and four sixes. Lalit, batting at 16, is joined by Abhinav Taneja.

At the end of the 30th over, Goa have lost seven wickets. Lalit has been the lone fighter, batting at 44 off 53 despite wickets continuing to tumble down the other end. After a string of single digit scores, Harikant is trying to provide some support, currently batting at 15 off 12.

After Lalit's dismissal by Arshdeep for 54 off 59 balls, the rest of the wickets fall easily, and Goa's innings comes to an end at 211. Punjab's bowling has been quite good today, taking all 10 wickets in 33.3 overs. Mayank starred with three wickets, while Arshdeep, Sukhdeep, and Krish took two scalps each. The chase will begin soon.

Early lifeline for Goa as Punjab's skipper Prabhsimran Singh is dismissed in the final ball of the third over. He goes for just two runs off 11 balls, and Harnoor joins Shubman Gill at the crease, with the latter batting at run-a-ball 11.

Shubman Gill's inclusion was meant to be a star-turner for the Punjab side, but the batter departs for just 11 runs of 12 balls, holing out to Suyash off Koushik's delivery. Anmolpreet is the new batter. Bright start from Goa's bowlers in defending what is a pretty below-par total.

After a steady partnership with Harnoor Singh (28 not out), Anmolpreet Singh departs for 17, caught by Deepraj Gaonkar off Lalit Yadav's bowling. Naman Dhir (0 not out) is the new batter in for Punjab, as Goa continue to doggedly defend their modest total.

Naman Dhir (18 not out off 31) is off to a sedate start, but extravagance is not the need of the hour anyway. His partnership with Harnoor Singh (52 not out off 54), who has got to his fifty, is taking Punjab to a position of strength again.

Harnoor and Naman Dhir's parternship – worth 114 runs now – has made Punjab's chase all but a formality at this stage. Naman has reached his own half-century, batting at 66 off 61, while Harnoor has reached 79-not-out.

Punjab have sealed a six-wicket win over Goa, chasing down the 212-run target in 35 overs. Harnoor Singh ended the match unbeaten at 94 off 90 balls, which included 11 fours and a six. Ramandeep added 15 runs from eight balls to secure the comfortable chase.
