Punjab Kings defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by five wickets in their rain-curtailed Indian Premier League match here on Friday.
Batting first, Tim David (50 off 26 balls) struck a counter-attacking fifty to lift RCB to 95 for nine in a match that was reduced to 14 overs per side after a delayed start due to evening showers.
In reply, PBKS completed the chase in 12.1 overs with Nehal Wadhera making a brisk 33 off 19 balls.
Josh Hazlewood (3/14) bowled brilliantly for RCB, but his effort was not enough.
Earlier, in a match reduced to 14 overs a side, Arshdeep Singh removed the dangerous Phil Salt for four in the first over, with keeper Josh Inglish snapping up a top-edge.
Arshdeep struck again in his next over as Virat Kohli fell for just one, caught brilliantly by Marco Jansen running back from mid-on.
Xavier Bartlett then deepened RCB's woes as a Liam Livingstone top-edge was safely pouched by Priyansh Arya at cover, reducing the hosts to 26/3.
Spin was introduced for the first time in the sixth over and Yuzvendra Chahal promptly struck as Jitesh Sharma holed out to Nehal Wadhera on the deep square leg boundary for two.
Krunal Pandya, who was promoted up the order, didn't last long, getting a top-edge onto his helmet which lobbed up to the bowler Jansen for a simple return catch.
Worse was to come as skipper Rajat Patidar gave Chahal his second wicket, caught by Bartlett at long-off after making 23 in 18 balls.
With the score at 41/6, RCB was forced to make an early impact sub, bringing on Manoj Bhandage for his IPL debut in place of Liam Livingstone.
But the move failed as Bhandage was trapped leg before for one by Jansen.
Brar then bagged two wickets off successive balls in his first over before David's heroics lifted RCB.
The toss, originally scheduled for 7:00 PM IST, was postponed following a steady drizzle, pushing back the 7:30 PM IST start time as well.
As per IPL playing conditions, matches starting at 7:30 PM IST are expected to conclude by 10:50 PM IST. However, an additional 60 minutes of extra time is permitted to accommodate weather-related delays.
