LUCKNOW SUPER GAINTS PUT UP A BATTING MASTERCLASS IN AN IPL MATCH AGAINST PUNJAB KINGS

Lucknow Super Giants put up a batting masterclass in a T20 match against Punjab Kings, earning themselves a 56-run win at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. The win propelled them to the second spot on the points table, surpassing Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans based on Net Run Rate. In the chase of the second-highest total in IPL history – 257/5 – PBKS struggled to keep up, despite Atharva Taide’s knock of 66. The team eventually finished with 201, falling well short of their target.

Kyle Mayers – 54 off 24; SR: 225.00
Ayush Badoni – 43 off 24; SR: 179.17
Marcus Stoinis – 72 off 40; SR: 180.00
Nicholas Pooran – 45 off 19; SR:236.84

PBKS bowlers had a forgettable day, as they were unable to contain the opposition’s run-flow. Arshdeep Singh and Murugan Ashwin were the pick of the bowlers, taking two wickets each, but were still expensive.
