Indian Premier League 2022, Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants: Mohsin Khan, Krunal Pandya Star As LSG Down PBKS after 20 innings

Lucknow Super Giants pounce on self-destructive mistakes Punjab Kings to score victory in 20 runs inside Indian Premier League on Friday. Kagiso Rabada hit four times as the Punjab Kings upped their game in bowling to limit the Lucknow Super Giants to 153 for eight. This should have been a straight chase but Punjab came through to finish in 133 for eight of 20 rounds. Pacer Dushmantha Chameera (February 17) and Krunal Pandya (November 2) have spearheaded LSG’s bowling efforts but they are also aided by the recklessness of Punjab hitters, who have struggled to convert starting, including captains Mayank Agarwal (25), Liam Livingstone (18) and Jonny Bairstow (32).

Left-handed athlete Mohsin Khan also finished with three goals.

Rishi Dhawan (21 years old not coming out) tried his best to bring Punjab back from the dead but it proved to be too big of a task.

A sixth win in nine games brings the IPL LSG debuting players closer to a play-off spot while the task becomes more difficult for Punjab, who has just four wins in nine matches.

Before that, the second goal in 85 runs between the opener Quinton de Kock (46 points 37) and Deepak Hooda (34 points 28) was the only bright spot in LSG’s innings.

The tempo trio of Rababda (4/38), Arshdeep Singh (0/23) and Sandeep Sharma (1/18) delivered in different ways, while foot spinner Rahul Chahar joined in with a couple of brackets . Punjab beaters impressed in the game after captain Mayank Agarwal chose to lose, limiting LSG to 39 with KL Rahul’s crucial strike (6).

While Arshdeep improved and seasoned Sandeep got the ball, it was Rabada who overcame the opponent’s keeper.

The South African pacemaker got a save from a good length that proved too good for Rahul, making it look like a suitable dismissal in a test match.

With the first four rounds getting only 16 runs, de Kock broke the shackles for LSG by smashing his countryman Rabada for six seconds in a row, a hit straight to the boundary line while the hit The maximum remaining is a strong butt into the midwicket. Hooda, who struggled to turn around early in his rounds, was beaten by six straight points by Rishi Dhawan.

Sandeep was brilliant on his first spell, conceding just eight times in his three passes.

With LSG 67 for 1 in 10 passes, Punjab controlled a lot of games.

Liam Livingstone’s 11th game spanned 15 runs and it looked like LSG was finally in the trenches but the removal of set players de Kock and Hooda added to their troubles.

De Kock was honest enough to return to the dressing room after a lackluster finish by Sandeep while Hooda paid the price for not being alert enough to escape after a direct header from deep inside by Jonny Bairstow.

LSG’s innings went nowhere as they struggled with a score of 109 to 5 in 15 innings. Matches of Jason Holder (11 to 8), Dushmantha Chameera (17 to 10) and Mohsin Khan (13 to 6) allowed LSG to pass the 150-run mark.
