Mohsin Khan (3/24), Dushmantha Chameera (2/17) and Krunal Pandya (2/11) led a implausible bowling performance by Lucknow Super Giants to register a 20-run win over Punjab Kings at MCA Stadium in Pune on Friday. The outcome signifies that Lucknow at the moment are positioned third in the IPL 2022 points table.
Mayank Agarwal-led PBKS won the toss and opted to bowl first. They had broken the backbone of Lucknow’s batting by dismissing skipper KL Rahul cheaply.
But with the contributions from Quinton de Kock (46 off 37 balls) and Deepak Hooda (34 off 28 balls), LSG managed to post 153/8 in 20 overs.
Punjab Kings by no means got going in the chase. Despite the great start by Shikhar Dhawan and Mayank, no PBKS batter might keep there for a very long time because the team lost batters at regular intervals and so they finally lost the game by a margin of 20 runs.
PBKS at the moment are positioned at seventh place in the points table with four wins from nine games.
