Lucknow Super Giants Vs Punjab Kings Live Score And Updates: Punjab Kings Won By 8 Wickets

Thakur to Nehal Wadhera, SIX, oh my word! The ball hasn’t been struck better than this tonight! Back of a length at the stumps,

Ravi Bishnoi to Nehal Wadhera, FOUR, now hangs back and slaps it along the floor! Back of a length outside off, googly, Wadhera belts it through extra cover

Digvesh Rathi to Prabhsimran, out Caught by Ravi Bishnoi!! Finally a mishit from Prabhsimran and even this nearly clears the boundary! It takes an incredible from Badoni to turn it into a catch. Flat length ball, Prabhsimran goes for the slog-sweep, miscues it in the air and Badoni does extremely well at the midwicket boundary to take the catch firstly and then to toss it towards the converging fielder before going over the ropes. Bishnoi ensures the catch is completed. Brings an end to a sensational knock.

Thakur to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, fuller than a good length on middle, Iyer knocks it down to long-on

M Siddharth to Prabhsimran, 1 run, darted in on middle, back of a length, Prabhsimran tucks it through midwicket and brings up a superb fifty! Has got PBKS off to a flier in this chase

Digvesh Rathi to Prabhsimran, FOUR, to backward square leg

Thakur to Prabhsimran, SIX, even better! Short in length outside off, Prabhsimran upper cuts it over the slip cordon for half-a-dozen. Thakur put under pressure by Prabhsimran

Arshdeep Singh to Thakur, 2 runs, in the air, but safe! A full and wide delivery outside off, Thakur chips it towards deep cover and the ball lands just in front of the fielder who was charging in from the deep. A couple of runs taken to end the innings

Chahal to Miller, FOUR, full and wide outside off, Miller goes hard it, drills it through covers and manages to beat the fielder who was sprinting across near the boundary. Fantastic shot!

Stoinis to Pooran, no run, an off-pace shortish delivery wide outside off, Pooran chases it and cuts it off the bottom half towards backward point. A bit of mix-up between the batters but Pooran is sent back. He plonks his bat inside the crease before the throw from the fielder hits the stumps

Marco Jansen to Pooran, 1 run, full ball angling down leg, Pooran flicks it to deep square leg

Maxwell to Pant, out Caught by Chahal!! That’s as soft a dismissal as it can get! Pant will be gutted with himself! His poor run with the bat continues this season. Was a dragdown down the leg side, Pant could have hit it anywhere but he hit it straight to short fine. Didn’t committ himself on the pull stroke and ended up helping it to Chahal who didn’t make a mistake.

Ferguson to Markram, SIX, what a shot! Shortish and a bit of width on offer,

Ferguson to Pooran, no run, back of a length ball on middle, shaping away, Pooran covers the line and blocks it towards mid-off

Markram and Mitchell Marsh are at the crease. Markram is on strike. Arshdeep Singh will open the attack

The Ekana Cricket Stadium is known to produce bowler-friendly pitches. Tonight’s game will be played on a red-soil surface. Historically, the spinners have ruled the roost at this venue but the seamers can also expect some assistance especially with the new-ball. Batters do get value for their shots but they also need to show some application. We can expect a tough tussle between bat and ball. Both teams will be eyeing to keep their winning momentum intact but it all boils down to which side holds their nerves during crunch situations. Toss and team lineups will be announced shortly.
