Match 119 of PKL 2019 was also the first occasion when both the teams involved scored fifty or more points in the same match.
Puneri Paltan came into the match with nothing to lose as it had crashed out of the playoffs race, but it was a must-win match for Titans in order to stay in contention for the same. In the end, it was Rakesh Kumar's Puneri Paltan that had the last laugh.
