Twitter Reacts As Dominant Lucknow Super Giants Crush Punjab Kings By 56 Runs In IPL 2023

Last Update on: April 28th, 2023 at 11:54 pm

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) registered a resounding victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS). LSG won the match by a huge margin of 56 runs and now are placed in 2nd position in the points table with an NRR of +0.84. Naveen-ul- Haq was the pick of the bowlers who took 3 wickets and gave away 30 runs in his 4-over spell on a belter of a track.

The required run rate of close to 13 runs per over meant that PBKS needed 70-80 runs power-play to give themselves a chance in the match but they lost 2 wickets and scored 55 runs. The early dismissal of Shikhar Dhawan put immense pressure on Prabhsimran Singh.

Atharva Taide played a splendid knock of 66 runs in 36 balls as he struck 8 fours & 2 sixes. The likes of Sikandar Raza & Liam Livingstone couldn’t make an impact with the bat in hand. The likes of Sam Curran & Jitesh Sharma played short cameos but they weren’t effective.

LSG posted a mammoth score of 257-5. Kyle Mayers smashed yet another breezy knock of 54 runs in 24 balls as he struck 7 fours and 4 sixes. The decision to back Ayush Badoni at the no.3 position worked well as he scored 43 runs in 24 balls and smashed 7 fours and 4 sixes. Marcus Stoinis played a fascinating knock of 72 runs in 40 balls and hit 6 fours and 5 sixes. It seemed as if LSG’s batters were toying with the PBKS’ bowlers.

PBKS would be utterly disappointed as they were outplayed in all the 3 facets of the match. PBKS are placed at 6th position with 8 points from 8 matches with an NRR of -0.51. LSG would be pumped up as they made a statement that they are not done yet in IPL 2023 after the heart-breaking defeat against GT.
