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

Punjab openers Mayank and Shikhar Dhawan make their way to the middle. LSG break the team huddle after some words of wisdom from captain KL Rahul. Mohsin Khan to open the attack for Lucknow. 

“There was bit of movement early on. Crucial wickets slowed them down. I don't have any excuses actually. Am just prepared to bowl at any stages of the game. At the beginning, through the middle and at the end. It was a little bit sticky and we went for the hard lengths in the middle period. I wouldn't say it is flat or it is extremely tricky. The batters just need to apply themselves in the middle to score runs.”

An excellent last over from Arshdeep, where he conceded only nine runs, saw Punjab restrict Lucknow for 153/8 in 20 overs. Rabad picked four while Chahar picked two in the game.

Chameera looked ambitious against Rabada after hitting him for two sixes at the start of the 19th over - one over mid-wicket and the towards third man - but eventually fell in the third ball. Rabada finished with 4-0-38-4.

LSG 144/8 in 19 overs

After being hit for a six, Chahar changed his length and line, went fuller and wide of off as Holder smashed it high and towards the fielder at extra cover. It was his second wicket as LSG went 7 down. 

Chahar pulled back his length as Holder stepped out, cleared his front leg to launch it high and over long-on for a huge six in the 18th over

Just seven runs came off the over, all in singles, from Arshdeep's third over. 

LSG 118/6 in 17 overs

Against a length ball around middle, Stoinis hit it off the toe end of the bat towards Chahar. The bowler followed it and grabbed it superbly to pick his first wicket in the game.

LSG 111/6 in 15.3 overs

Rabada struck for the second time in the ov er this time to dismiss young Badoni for just 4. LSG have now gone 5 down in a matter of just 14 deliveries. 

Krunal looked to go over the long-on fielder against Rabada, but found Dhawan as he departed scoring seven off seven in the game. LSG go 4 down in quick time. 

A superb throw from Bairstow saw a lazy Hooda being run out at the none-striker's end. LSG have suddenly lost two quick wickets, and both their well-set batters. 

LSG 104/3 in 13.3 overs
