PBKS vs LSG Highlights IPL 2022: Bowlers shine as Lucknow Super Giants eat Punjab Kings by 20 runs

Lucknow win the match by 20 runs in Pune to grab two crucial points in the IPL 2022 

The India pacer bowls two three back-to-back dots

10 runs came off the first two balls in the final overs. Can Dhawan go all the way through?

In his final over for the game, he dismissed Rahul Chahar as he grabbed a three-wicket haul in the game, conceding just 24 runs. 

He has been impressive tonight with his bowling and has been rewarded with his second wicket as he dismissed Rabada for 2. PBKS now go 7 down as Lucknow aim to close in. 

Rashid Khan did it the other night. Tewatia has been doing it since 2020. Can Dhawan do it tonight? Well, he starts off with a boundary against Avesh Khan in the 17th over. PBKS need 42 runs in 18 balls

After a superb bowling, Krunal completes the most important catch. Chameera takes the pace off the ball against Bairstow and goes wider and fuller as the batter threw his bat at it to edge the ball towards Krunal at third man. PBKS have lost their last hope to go 6 down in the chase

After surviving the lbw scare, Bairstow smashed Bishnoi for two boundaries in the 15th over. 11 runs came off the over. Punjab Kings need 51 runs in 30 balls. Still manageable.

It has been a superb bowling performance from the spinner as he finished with 4-1-11-2 against Punjab which included a wicket maiden in the last over

He has been superb throughout the evening and he picked his second wicket in his final over, dismissing Jitesh Sharma for just 2. Against the straighter one, Jitesh looked to push the ball forward. The ball struck plumb on his pads, but the umpire denied the appeal. LSG opted for the review and were successful.

PBKS 92/5 in 13.2 overs

He returns for his second over and strikes straightaway in his very first delivery, dismissing Livingstone for 18. The batter looked to play the scoop shot against the slower one and got the softest of edge as De Kock grabbed it comfortably.

PBKS 88/4 in 12.1 overs

Just three more singles in his third over. In three overs he has conceded only 11 runs for a wicket.

PBKS need 66 runs in 48 balls

The England batter takes on Bishnoi for back-to-back sixes in the 11th over - one over long-off and the other over long-on. A delivery later, Bairstow managed a boundary through deep extra cover. Big over for Punjab.

PBKS 85/3 in 11 overs

Krunal gives away just two runs in his second over. LSG are looking to keep Punjab quiet through the middle phases of the game. 

PBKS 67/3 in 10 overs

Just 7 runs came off Bishnoi's second over. Punjab need a bit of stability here. It's still chaseable in Pune. Punjab Kings need 89 runs in 66 balls

A very smart bowling from Krunal! He angled the ball across to the left-hander as Rajapaksa looked to play for the turn. The ball took the leading edge and went to KL Rahul towards the off-side.

PBKS 58/3 in 8 overs

In 14 balls, he managed only five runs. He enjoys taking on leg-spinners and has a strike rate of over 200 against Bishnoi. Hence with the youngster coming in he fancied his chances, but was bamboozled with the leg-break delivery as PBKS went 2 down

Lucknow were 39/1 at the end of the powerplay. Punjab, on the other hand, are seven runs ahead so far. 

Avesh Khan into the attack, provides Bairstow with the width and he pounces on it to smash it towards third man for a boundary. Bairstow ended the over with a boundary towards long-off.

PBKS 46/1 in 6 overs

KL Rahul takes a brilliant catch as Chameera provides the big breakthough to LSG. He anticipated Mayank's move and hence moved left and made the jump to perfection to complete the dismissal.

PBKS 35/1 in 4.4 overs

Mayank has decided to return to his aggressive best as he hit the first ball from Chameera in his second over for a six over third man. 

Not the right line from Jason Holder as Mayank capitalised on it to hit the ball through short fine leg for a boundary. Eight rusn came off the over

PBKS 29/0 in 4 overs

Mohsin went fuller down to the off side as Mayank made room to muscle the slice over point for a six. It is the first six for Punjab in the innings. Mayank ended the over with a cheeky boundary against the shorter one, sending it over the slip region towards third man. 15 runs came off the over. 

PBKS 21/0 in 3 overs

Just two runs came off the over - a single and a wide. Superb start from Lucknow. 

PBKS 6/0 in 2 overs

Barring that leg bye four in the second ball, which was well out the reach of De Kock, Mohsin delivered a decent over to start with. 

PBKS 4/0 in 1 over
