And Punjab got a double advantage
After the magic of the spinners, when the mist cleared in the second innings, it gave Punjab a huge advantage in chasing the target. Due to mist, Chennai bowlers faced many difficulties in catching the ball. He also had to struggle to get the ball when it slipped from his hands. In such a situation, forget about curves etc. Punjab achieved the target of 162 runs by losing seven wickets.

Realizing this situation, the team winning the toss in the final will choose to bowl first. Meaning if it fogs up, the team that wins the toss will be the boss!
