The clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) has emerged as one of the most exciting encounters in recent times. As PBKS prepares to face off against LSG today, they cannot ignore the memory of LSG's formidable batting performance in their previous encounter.

LSG's remarkable feat of scoring 257-5 runs against PBKS at Mohali last year, evokes parallels to the stunning display by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Mumbai Indians (MI) earlier this season. Lucknow beat Punjab for 56 runs in that game where Marcus Stoinis of LSG, who scored 72 from 40 balls became the man of the match of the game

Lucknow dominated PBKS bowlers

Lucknow's victory was largely orchestrated by their batsmen, with Kyle Mayers, Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis showcasing remarkable performances to post a formidable total of 257 runs on the scoreboard.

Lucknow was expected to win the game after their supreme batting effort. KL Rahul, LSG captain, used his nine bowlers effectively. And luckily the pitch in Mohali seemed to favor them. Lucknow's early dismissal of Shikhar Dhawan, along with taking wickets in the Powerplay, put Punjab on the back foot. LSG leggie Bishnoi did well in the middle overs by taking two wickets. later, Naveen-ul-Haq and Yash Thakur took seven wickets together in the end, securing a convincing victory for Lucknow.

How Punjab reacted to LSG's 257 runs

Punjab never really got into the game after conceding too many runs. Their openers fell quickly when they came out to bat. However, Taide showed a brave and aggressive approach with the bat for Punjab. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't sufficient to turn the tide in their favor. Lucknow executed their game plan effectively and defeated Punjab Kings by a huge margin of 56 runs. .

Tonight, PBKS will take on LSG at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. However, unlike the high-scoring games witnessed in Mohali, the nature of Ekana Stadium suggests that tonight's match might not be as conducive to high scores.
