Prabhsimran-led PBKS power batting stuns LSG
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|May 05, 2025
With the asking rate climbing from 12 runs-an-over when Lucknow Super Giants began chasing to nearly 15 after the Powerplay, and their top order dismantled, Rishabh Pant advanced down the track against Azmatullah Omarzai's pace.
MUMBAI: He heaved hard outside off-stump, only for his bat to slip off his hands and fly to square leg. We have seen that before. But usually he still finds a boundary. This time the ball was comfortably caught by deep point. It's been that kind of tournament for Pant and for his team.
The opposite has been true for Punjab Kings. Their batting unit has been the most threatening. Occasionally, they have blown it. But often their bravery has delivered positive results, helping them post 200-plus totals. It all came together against LSG in their other home venue in the shadows of Himalaya at Dharmshala on Sunday. PBKS won by 37 runs after posting a massive 236 runs total.
PBKS' early intent was powered by Josh Inglis, promoted to No.3. The Australian smashed Mayank Yadav for three consecutive sixes to puncture the returning pacer's confidence early.
