Lucknow was in dire need of someone to maintain the momentum, and that role was fulfilled by Krunal Pandya, who exhibited aggressive batting right from the moment he stepped onto the field. The left-handed batsman quickly surpassed the 30-run mark, propelling Lucknow towards a potentially formidable total.
Sam Curran was the most successful bowler for Punjab Kings, claiming three wickets for 28 runs, with Arshdeep taking two wickets.
