Punjab Kings bowlers put up a stellar performance in the Powerplay, which paid off for them as Lucknow Super Giants posted 171/7 on a difficult Ekana pitch.
On a two-pace pitch, which offered at times fast and at times slow bounce, Punjab Kings bowlers did wonders. Led by the incredible Arshdeep Singh, the PBKS bowlers demolished the LSG top order in just 6 overs. Nicholas Pooran (44 off 30) and Ayush Badoni (41 off 33) did show fight but their contribution was not enough to post a big score.
Punjab Kings’ bowling attack was an example of teamwork, with spinners Glenn Maxwell (1/22 in 3 overs) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/36 in 4 overs) providing a brilliant support to pacers Lockie Ferguson (1/26 in 3 overs), Arshdeep (3/43 in 4 overs) and Marco Jansen (1/28 in 4 overs). Skipper Shreyas Iyer’s smart field placements also ensured that LSG never came back in the game.
Some deliveries were roaming on the pitch, while some balls were moving extra high, there was completely a solitary batsman who looked confident against the pacers and spinners. LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi’s aggressive send-off, faces Sunil Gavaskar’s criticism, was also a big highlight of the match.
