-
Wicketkeeper-batsman Prabhsimran Singhscored an explosive 69 off 34 balls as Punjab Kings cruised to an eight-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday.
It was a ruthless display from the visitors, who outclassed LSG in all departments to claim their second consecutive win in the tournament.
Punjab chased down the target of 172 set by Lucknow with nearly four overs to spare, and captain Shreyas lyer remained unbeaten on 52 off 30 balls.
"This is the start we required. Boys actually played their roles well, they contributed to the best of their ability, and whatever we planned, they executed it to the fullest.
"To be honest, there is no right combination. The camaraderie and synergy has to click at the right time," lyer said after Punjab's dominant victory.
Playing their first home game of the season, Lucknow Super Giants started poorly as Arshdeep Singh struck a massive blow in the very first over, sending the dangerous Mitchell Marsh back for a golden duck, setting the tone for Punjab's dominance.
