LSG vs PBKS Live Updates: Match Summary 📖

At Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, Punjab Kings won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants. Super Giants had a poor powerplay, as they lost their main top three batters, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Rishabh Pant, inside five overs, with just 35 on the board. Nicholas Pooran came in and played a 30-ball 44, which was then supported by Ayush Badoni’s 33-ball 41. While David Miller could only score 19, Abdul Samad’s 12-ball 27-run cameo helped Lucknow push the case, as they went on to score 171 by the end of the 20 overs. From the bowling lineup, Arshdeep Singh proved to be expensive, but picked up three wickets.

In reply, Punjab lost Priyansh Arya early, courtesy of Digvesh Rathi, but the Prabhsimran Shigh show continued as he hammered the Lucknow bowlers for a 34-ball 69. Whereas Shreyas Iyer's captain's knock of 30-ball 52 was very well supported by Nehal Wadera's 25-ball 43* as the Punjab team finished the chase comfortably in just 16.2 overs without any hassle. Digvesh Rathi was the only bowler to pick wickets, as he ended up grabbing two to his name.
