12:01 PM IST and Local Time : The first session of this game has belonged to Goa. The visitors have managed to take 4 wickets and conceded only 67 from the 33 overs of play in this session.
Winning the toss, Punjab elected to bat first. Harnoor Singh Pannu gave them a good start by hitting two boundaries off Arjun Tendulkar's first over. But the new ball bowlers of Goa- Arjun and Vasuki Koushik kept things really tight for the Punjab openers. Koushik took an outside edge off Harnoor when the latter was on 9.
Prabhsimran was batting well in his 51-ball stay and scored 17 before he inside edged one of Deepraj Gaonkar's delivery onto his off stump. Uday Saharan, the Punjab skipper steadied the ship at the other end but he saw two more wickets to fall. Naman Dhir was trapped in front by Gaonkar on 4. Nehal Wadhera's lofted shot found mid-on fielder off Mohit Redkar on 4.
At lunch, Uday Saharan is on 26 and he is accompanied by Ramandeep Singh (5*). Punjab 67/4.
