PBKS vs LSG Highights: Lucknow Super Giants beats Punjab Kings by 56 runs after recording second-highest IPL total

Yash Thakur with the last over and it is as uneventful as it gets until Shahrukh lofts a low full toss into the hands Ravi Bishnoi at deep mid wicket. Lucknow Super Giants wins by 56 runs.

Naveen deceives Rabada with a slower one and the South African loses his middle stump.

Arshdeep too let a slower one through, almost taking a piece of his off stump.

Yash Thakur gifts a low full toss on to the pads for Jitesh Sharma and is duly flicked away for a six. He adds another six, a forceful hit past long on.

Yash Thakur though gets his revenge as Jitesh holes out to KL Rahul at mid off. Rahul Chahar too falls as LSG closes in on a big win.

Naveen-ul-Haq with the 17th. He pitches one up and Jitesh crunches it through covers for a couple. The Afghan pacer gives away a no ball, which is put away for a four by Sam Curran. But Naveen takes the pace off and Curran can only lob it up for a catch.

Bishnoi has trapped Livingstone in front. But PBKS have reviewed it. It’s three reds and Livingstone’s a goner! Jitesh is the new man in and he smacks a six first ball.

PBKS 161/5 in 16 overs.

Twelve off that over, including a maximum from the bat of Livingstone. The Englishman got a reprieve when Bishnoi, diving full length at backward-point, got his hands to the ball but failed to latch on.

Krunal gets his first over of the game. He offers Livingstone some width and the English batter cashes in on it with a boundary.

Sam Curran smashes the first ball he faced to the stands.

Bishnoi with his last over. New batter Liam Livingstone puts him away through the offside with a delectable cut shot.

Bishnoi loops a googly in and Atharva Taide goes for a slog sweep and can only edge it up and the bowler completes a tough catch. LSG is in course for a big win.

Yash Thakur goes short on the offside and Raza guides it straight to Krunal out in the deep. Third wicket down for Punjab.

Taide shows no signs of slowing down as he ramps one past the keeper for a four. He then goes down on his knee, before scooping it for a six.

Ravi Bishnoi with his third over. Raza goes for a wild hoick, missing the ball in the process. Third umpire takes a loot at it for a potential stumping, but nothing there.

Raza makes up with a four and a six to shore up the over.

Yash Thakur gets his first over. Taide taps one down the leg side to get his fifty.

Raza crunches one to midwicket to get a four. Halfway through the chase and Punjab has just 93 runs in its tank.

Amit Mishra continues from the other end. Taide reverse scoops him over short thid man for a four. No other boundaries as the leggie closes out the over and we have the strategic timeout.

Ravi Bishnoi gets his first over. Starts with a googly, beating Raza.

Raza though gets a boundary, courtesy of a misfield at long on.

Amit Mishra is introduced as the impact sub. Atharva steps out and smokes one over long on for a six. Raza too get in the act with a boundary down the ground.

Naveen-ul-Haq with his second over. He delivers a sharp, boundary-less over. He though needs some medical attention after trying to stop a throw. Punjab end its PowerPlay with a total of 55/2.

Avesh Khan gets his first over. Taide smahes one to the midwicket fence for another four. Avesh goes good length and Taide drives on the up for a flowing boundary. He follows it with a cracking cut shot for a four!!

Naveen-ul-haq introduced into the attack. Prabhsimran slashes one behind point for a boundary. The Punjab batter’s outing doesn’t last long as he holes out in the deep.

Stoinis continues. He offers a short one and Taide pulls it past the boundary. First six of the innings for Punjab. Taide adds another four.

Stoinis gives away a few wides, four to be precise to give Punjab some momentum.

Stoinis though can’t complete the over, with Badoni delivering the last ball.

Kyle Mayers with the second over. Prabhsimran clips one away for the first boundary for Punjab. Another one down the leg side. Pooran and Mayers are convinced that it is a catch. But Rahul doesn’t want a review. Turns out there was an edge there. LSG miss a trick there.

Stoinis with the first over and he is up against Dhawan and Prabhsimran. Stoinis raps Prabhsimran on the pad and LSG goes up for a review. It is going wide. Not out.

Shikhar tries to go over point, but couldn’t get his timing right. Krunal completes the catch there and Punjab has lost its skipper early on.

Stoinis’ dream game continues.

Arshdeep with the last over.

Full and on the stumps and Hooda clatters it over extra cover for a four. This is now the second-highest total in IPL history. Pooran goes for a scoop shot, but it strikes him on the pad and he is given out after a review.

Krunal Pandya comes in and he manages an edge to get away an Arshdeep yorker to the fence. A wide and a single and that is the end of the LSG innings. 257/5 the final tally.

Sam Curran with the penultimate. Stoinis lifts a full-length for a four over mid off. But Curran gets one back, forcing an edge which is gobbled up by Jitesh Sharma.

Curran gets the length right, but the line wrong as Hooda clips it away for a four.

Rabada spears one in to Stoinis’ pads and the Aussie casually puts it away for a six. Pooran scoops it over mid-off for a four before adding a six over fine leg fence.

Arshdeep continues. He pitches one up and Stoinis creams it through covers for a four.

The Punjab pacer gets it almost right with a yorker. But Pooran somehow manages to squeeze it past point for a four. Drifts one down the leg and clipped it to fine leg fence for another four!!

Rabada comes back in and he is straight away clipped down fine leg for a four by Stoinis. He soon takes a single and that is his fifty. He celebrates by pummelling Rabada over long off fence for a SIX!!

Rabada makes it worse by overstepping, again!!! Luckily for Punjab, he recovers to deliver a couple of yorkers.

Arshdeep with his second over.

Decent over from the left-arm pacer, considering the carnage that has been happening. Just one boundary, coming from the bat of Pooran.

Livingstone gets an immediate chance at redemption as Dhawan tosses the ball to him and he gets it.

Badoni continues to use the sweep shot. But this time he can only find Chahar at deep square leg. End of an impressive innings from the youngster.

Out walks Pooran and he scores a couple of boundaries straight up to maintain momentum.

Rahul Chahar with his final over. He loops one in and Stoinis couldn’t get the timing right. It is high in the air and Livingstone catches it at long of. Wait a second, Livingstone has touched the boundary cushion and it is a SIX!!! Huge let off for Stoinis.

There is no escape for Punjab bowlers.

Curran errs slightly with his length and Stoinis whacks him over midwicket for a SIX!! A couple of doubles in the over as LSG gets another big over in.

Chahar pushes one into Stoinis’ pads and he sweeps in behind deep square leg for another four. LSG is headed to a humongous total here.

Sam Curran with his first over. Offers width and Stoinis chops it away for a four.

Badoni then pulls one to get a flat six. Curran repeats the length and Stoinis puts it away for another four. There is no stopping LSG at this moment.

Chahar to Stoinis, 1 run. Chahar to Badoni, 1 run. Stoinis plays two dots. He gets a single off the fifth ball. Badoni wraps up the over with a single.

TIME OUT!

Gurnoor returns, change of ends for him. He errs in line, on the leg side and Badoni swivels a pull for four. Gurnoor oversteps next ball and batters run a single. Stoinis, on strike for the free hit, hits his first ball of the over for a maximum over fine leg. Stoinis follows it up with a boundary through covers. Meanwhile, LSG 100 comes up in the eighth over, joint-fastest this season. Badoni ends the over with a six, a top-edge flying over the keeper’s head. 24 runs from the over!

Leggie Rahul Chahar into the attack. Badoni plays an immaculate late cut for four first ball, what timing and placement. Meanwhile, Marcus Stoinis has walked out at 4. Nine off the over.

Mayers advances down the track to punish a Rabada full-toss. ANOTHER SIX!! It is his fifty and it took him just 20 balls. To make it worse, Rabada had overstepped. Freehit and it is edged to third man for a four!

Rabada responds with three dot balls, before angling one into Mayers’ body, forcing him to mishit to mid on. End of a flying knock by a Mayers.

Sikandar Raza with his first over. He offers a short one and Mayers rocks back and cross-bats it beyond the long on fence. Another short one and this one is pulled away to the fence for a four. Raza pushed one full, and Mayers lofts him for another SIX!!

Relentless striking from the Carribean batter and Punjab is clueless on the face of it.

Dhawan turns to Rabada to put an end to this early onslaught from LSG.

Rahul lofts Rabada first ball over long off with a flowing shot for SIX!!

But Rabada gets the last laugh. He forces an edge for Shahrukh Khan to take a smart catch at short third man. First wicket falls for Lucknow.

Ayush Badoni is the new batter and he opens his account with a clipped shot for four.

Brar drifts into Rahul’s pads and it is all too easy for him. Flicked away for a four!

Brar then gifts Mayers a freehit, after a front foot no ball, which is dismissed by Mayers for the first six of the game. He adds another four, this time with a pull shot, to pull LSG further forward in this game. FIERY START FROM LSG!

Arshdeep Singh is given the second over. Mayers dispatches a good length delivery on the fifth stump through covers for the first boundary of the game.

Arshdeep responds with a bouncer and Mayers evade. Another short ball and Mayers pulls confidently, in front of square, for another four!!

He adds two more boundaries. A lofted straight drive is followed up with a more conservative down the ground. Superb start from Mayers.

KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers are out in the middle. Debutant Gurnoor Brar with the first over of the game.

Brar induces an edge with an outswinger from Rahul first ball. BUT IT IS DROPPED!!! Taide at point let go of an easy chance at point.

Rahul goes for a cut shot, which is intercepted by a diving Chahar at covers.

KL Rahul(c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran(w), Ayush Badoni, Naveen-ul-Haq, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Yash Thakur

Atharva Taide, Shikhar Dhawan(c), Sikandar Raza, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma(w), Shahrukh Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh

Punjab Kings wins the toss and have chosen to bowl first.

The home side has its captain back. Shikhar Dhawan will look to make an impactful comeback.

This is the first time LSG will be playing in Mohali but they have no fewer than 9 players who have played previously with the Punjab Kings. So it remains to be seen how that familiarity manifests itself.

There is a larger side 75m and 67m, straight hit is 73m. The surface looks like a belter. Nice covering of grass. It seems compact and hard and that suggests to me the ball will come on nicely onto the bat.

The average first innings score in Mohali is 173, but on this pitch Kings scored 191 vs KKR in the only game they have won at home.

So the team batting first will be aiming 200 with the dew factor later on.

Wicket-keepers: KL Rahul, Prabhsimran Singh, Nicholas Pooran

Batters: Deepak Hooda, Atharva Taide, Harpreet Singh

All-rounders: Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone

Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Mark Wood

After a flying start and reasonable middle overs, the Rajasthan Royals innings seemed to have hit a roadblock with the dismissal of the well-set Yashasvi Jaiswal in the IPL match against Chennai Super Kings at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday night.

It all came down to how the Royals batters would deal with the death overs. Not for the first time this season, Dhruv Jurel put his hand up.

His blistering 34 off 15 balls and his 48-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Devdutt Padikkal took Royals to what would be a formidable total; it was also the first time a team was scoring 200 or more in the 15-year history of the IPL at the venue.

Shortly after his cameo helped Royals post a 32-run victory and reclaim the top spot on the points table at the expense of CSK, the 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter from Uttar Pradesh stressed that it was a much-needed win. Royals had lost its last two games.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 20 runs.

LSG successfully defended the target of 154 courtesy of an impressive bowling performance, led by Mohsin Khan and Krunal Pandya, who combined to take five crucial wickets.

Batting first: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c), Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ayush Badoni, Jaydev Unadkat, Mark Wood, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
