That's It! Lucknow Super Giants made a really good recovery after a disappointing powerplay and from 74/5. Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad stitched a steady partnership and took the game deep saving a net run rate loss. Avesh Khan also landed a few shots in the end to take the score above 200. Punjab Kings secure their seventh victory and continue to cruise in their campaign.Â
Fifty! It is the crisis man Ayush Badoni again. Came on to bat when things were pretty much over but did his best to take the game deep and as close as possible. Some tremendous hits between the overs and in the way he also completed his half-century.Â
Out! After a solid period of resistance, Abdul Samad finally persishes. Back of length ball from Marco Jansen and Samad tries to muscle it. Doesn't get the full piece and the ball just lobs in the air and Jansen takes a very good return. The battle was lost long back but it was some great resistance from Samad.  Abdul Samad c and b Marco Jansen 45(24).
Lucknow Super Giants were fighting a lost battle since the powerplay and it got worse with David Miller and Rishabh Pant's wicket. But since then Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad has stitched a steady partnership and took the game deep. They are looking to get as close as possible.Â
Out! David Miller departs too. Lucknow Super Giants keeps looking down the barrel. Azmatullah Omarzai once again. Bowls the same length ball outside off. Miller cuts it towards the point boundary but the cramp means he doesn't get enough. The sweeper cover fielder runs in to complete a simple catch. LSG are nearing a huge defeat here. Miller c Shashank Singh b Azmatullah 11(8).
Out! Rishabh Pant departs again. Was looking like he could use the runs he will get today but ends up playing a rash shot where the bat goes off his hands and the ball travels straight to the fielder at deep cover. Pant will be disappointed and so will be LSG. LSG have nothing but despair to grab. Pant c Shashank Singh b Azmatullah 18(17). Pant c Shashank Singh b Azmatullah 18(17).
Out! Is that the game decider. Arshdeep Singh comes on to bowl the third over in a row and traps Nicholas Pooran LBW. Pooran has been dismissed quite a few times in the same way and Arshdeep has just replicated that. Goes for the across the line shot, misses the ball on stumps and gets trap flush in front of the wickets. PBKS are looking at a victory here. Pooran lbw b Arshdeep Singh 6(5).
Out! Lucknow Super Giants in big trouble here. Such a mammoth target in front of them and they needed their openers to score big. But both have been dismissed now with the latest being Aiden Markram. Again Arshdeep Singh provides no room and Markram chops the ball to his stumps. PBKS are comfortably ahead here. Markram b Arshdeep Singh 13(10).
Out! The struggle ends for Mitchell Marsh. Arshdeep Singh was keeping things tight for him and he had to go for a release. Got a top edge and despite it being a very difficult catch, Nehal Wadhera completed it in the end. Big wicket for PBKS early in the innings and LSG have a tough task in hand.  Mitchell Marsh c Nehal Wadhera b Arshdeep Singh 0(5).
A ramp shot from Shashank Singh and it goes for a boundary. With it comes to an end a tremendous innings from Punjab Kings who set a mammoth total in front of Lucknow Super Giants to chase. Every PBKS batter barring from Priyansh Arya has got a start and Prabhsimran Singh has made it big. The surface is good for attack and LSG have a tough task at hand.Â
