Rinku Singh was the lone bright spark in a rudimentary performance, constructing 65 from 42 balls and serving as the only anchor for any resistance that might have been offered. He hit boundaries and sixes with intent through stages of the chase.

To Rinku’s cause, young batters such as Karan Sharma and Abhishek Goswami added quick runs, albeit in discrete pockets rather than at a consistent partnership – integral to the team’s failure to construct an elongated chase.
