Prabhsimran, Bowlers Take PBKS to Easy Win Over LSG
Hindustan Times Delhi
|April 02, 2025
Hosts Lucknow never came to grips with the wicket and failed to put a competitive total on board
LUCKNOW: The Punjab Kings exploited the conditions well to beat hosts Lucknow Super Giants and clinch back-to-back wins in IPL 18 here on Tuesday.
Almost all the LSG batters, including skipper Rishabh Pant, found batting to be a struggle against a disciplined bowling attack at the Ekana Cricket Stadium and they only managed to post a sub-par 171/7 at the end of their 20 overs. PBKS, though, found the going much easier and cruised to an eight-wicket win with 22 balls to spare.
Opener Prabhsimran Singh was in fine touch at the top of the order and raced to his maiden fifty of the season in just 23 balls as PBKS scored 62/1 in the Powerplay.
He didn't let up after that and continued to make a mockery of the LSG bowlers with powerful hits all around the ground while scoring 33-ball 69 (4x9, 3x6) before being caught by Ravi Bishnoi in an exceptional joint effort with Ayush Badoni on the boundary line.
