PBKS vs LSG, IPL 2023 Highlights: Lucknow beat Punjab by 56 runs after making 2nd highest score in tournament history

PBKS vs LSG highlights, IPL 2023: Punjab were all out for 200 but it was not enough for Lucknow's 257/5, the 2nd highest score in the history of the tournament.

PBKS vs LSG, IPL 2023 Highlights: Kyle Mayers smashed a half century in just 20 balls as he got Lucknow off to a flier of a start and Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran continued his good work. Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan, who has returned from his injury at last, won the toss and chose to bowl. Mayers was dismissed by Kagiso Rabada on 54 off 24 balls but the carnage has continued since then. Ayus Badoni and Marcus Stoinis put up a 50-run partnershp that came up in just 26 balls. Badoni eventually fell on 43 off 24 but then Nicholas Pooran came in and hit three fours off the first three balls he faced. LSG raced past 200 in just 16 overs and it looked for a while that they might be able to surpass the highest ever score by a team in the IPL. That effort, however, was dented somewhat when Marcus Stoinis fell on 72 off 40. Nicholas Pooran also fell in the last over for 45 off 19 and in the end, LSG reached a score of 257/5 in 20 overs. It is the second highest score of all time in the history of the tournament. While the Punjab Kings made a fairly good first of the improbably high chase, LSG are cruising towards victory.

  Sam Curran falls off the last ball of that over on 21 off 11 balls. This has been an impressive innings from PBKS but it has turned into a bit of a non-event now. They need 80 to win off the last three overs. The required run rate, if you are wondering, is 26.66.

  PBKS vs LSG Live Score: OUT! That's it for Livingstone

  LSG appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Livingstone goes for a review straight away but that is probably because they have so many reviews left as there is no edge on it and the ball tracking shows that he is plumb out.

  Length ball from Naveen-ul-Haq for the fourth of the fourth over. Prabhsimran pulls it straight to Sams at deep backward square. These wickets will fall due to the kind of ridiculous total that PBKS have to chase.

  Misjudgement at deep backward square and the ball lands just past the ropes. It was a short ball trap for the first ball of the third, Stoinis bangs it in and Taide pulls. If the fielder stayed at the ropes, it would have been an easy catch, instead he runs forward and then realises his mistake too late.

  IPL 2023 Live: GONE! Dhawan falls early

  Well Marcus Stoinis, after top scoring for LSG, comes back and bowls the first over and gets arguably PBKS's best bet if they are to do anything significant in this chase. Dhawan uppercuts this short delivery straight to deep point.

  "I was feeling really good. I was waiting for this opportunity for so long and today I got this opportunity so I'm really happy that I could contribute. When I went in, the wicket was really good and I could bat for long. I was just told to play your shots and put away the poor balls. We were not thinking too much about a record total, but just put away the bad balls and play according to the ball. The instruction was to put away the bad balls and play according to the ball and nothing else. My mindset was very blank."

He is caught at that position by Livingstone but then he ends up stepping on that rope. Livingstone indicates that it is a six but yet the decision is sent upstairs and everyone have fun with a few replays that take up a few extra seconds than needed.

  What a powerplay this has been for LSG, despite the fact that they have lost both their openers, especially Mayers.

  LSG have won three and lost two of their last five matches but one of those defeats is the kind that can derail seasons. They inexplicably lost to GT simply because of taking a chase deep when they never needed to. Before that, they beat RR by 10 runs and that game followed their 2-wicket loss in the reverse fixture.

  IPL 2023 Live: Curran clicks with the bat at last

  PBKS broke the bank for Sam Curran for his batting skills at the death as much as for his bowling. He hasn't been too bad with the ball but Curran's failures with the bat has hurt PBKS this season. And it became amply clear how important it is for them that Curran fires when he finally got a good total up in their previous match against Mumbai Indians. Curran scored 55 in 29 balls and led PBKS to a score of 214/8. It was just too big a total for MI to chase and although they also crossed the 200-run mark, PBKS won by 13 runs.

  LSG were utterly dominating their match against Gujarat Titans for almost 45 overs of the game, until KL Rahul seemed to decide that this is the best time to demonstrate his theory that strike rates are overrated in T20 cricket. He had scored 0 off the first 6, 30 off the next 12, 20 off the next 20, 18 off the next 23 and in the end, LSG suddenlyh needed 12 to win off the last over after needing 30 to win off 30 at one point. They lost 4 consecutive wickets in that over, first of which was that of Rahul's, and the captain was left scratching his head and saying, "We don't know what happened." Well, go figure.
