Mayank Yadav to Josh Inglis, SIX, to deep mid-wicket
1.3
Mayank Yadav to Josh Inglis, SIX, and six more. 137 clicks, back of a length, Josh Inglis goes back again and pulls it in front of square. This seems to be a brilliant move from Punjab. Inglish is away...

Mayank Yadav to Josh Inglis, SIX, disappears over the shorter part. The ball flies away after it was dug in short. Josh Inglis pivoted on the back foot and oulled it away over the fence. Good hit

3.3
Mayank Yadav to Prabhsimran, SIX, and another six! Mayank going for plenty. 137.8 kph, short, wide, Prabhsimran eats into the width and slashes it over point for a sixer. A hint of width and Prabhsimran jumped on to it

5.3
Avesh Khan to Prabhsimran, 2 runs, dropped! Pooran circled under it at mid-off and ended up dropping it. He never got into a good position to take it

Prince Yadav to Prabhsimran, FOUR, easy paced delivery, short, outside off, 133.9 clicks, Prabhsimran waits on it and ramps it

11.1
Prince Yadav to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, wow! That's an amazing shot. Was in the slot, outside off, Shreyas Iyer got under the ball and never held back. He thumped the ball over long-off. Shreyas Iyer has decided to up the ante as well

 
Narper 2025-05-04 14:57:15

Prince Yadav to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, very full, outside off, Shreyas Iyer

14.1
Digvesh Rathi to Prabhsimran, SIX, Prabhsimran keeps going. It's full on leg-stump, Prabhsimran sinks on one knee and slogsweeps it way back over deep backward square-leg, good connection

14.3
Digvesh Rathi to Prabhsimran, SIX, and again. An action-replay of the previous six. It's full on leg-stump, he gets low and slogsweeps, there's a fielder at deep backward square-leg, but he was just a spectator

 
Narper 2025-05-04 15:15:46

Prince Yadav to Nehal Wadhera, out Bowled!! Prince Yadav has bowled Nehal Wadhera around his legs.

Narper 2025-05-04 15:23:26 

16.1
Mayank Yadav to Shashank Singh, FOUR, such poor fielding from Avesh at fine-leg. He goes with his left hand and misses, was a back of a length outside the leg-stump, Shashank Singh makes room and swings, was two at best, but Avesh gives four

 
Narper 2025-05-04 15:25:06

Mayank Yadav to Shashank Singh, SIX, out of the ground! Preity Zinta goes oooohhhhhhhhhhh!

Avesh Khan to Shashank Singh, FOUR, he is so good with this shot.

17.2
Avesh Khan to Shashank Singh, FOUR, thick outside-edge and it flies over backward point. Full outside off, width and Shashank Singh throws the bat on this, flies away

17.5
Avesh Khan to Prabhsimran, FOUR, this is such an expensive over. It's full outside off, Prabhsimran drives and it flies off a thick outside-edge and well wide of short third man, on second glance, have to give credit to Prabhsimran for he opened the face at the end
17.6
Avesh Khan to Prabhsimran, SIX, to long-off, the partnership between Prabhsimran and Shashank Singh is now

Digvesh Rathi to Stoinis, FOUR, there's deep extra-cover but he is too wide, there was width outside off, Stoinis crashes the cut and beats a diving cover-point to his right

Pooran have to bat like a Wisden Player of the Century tonite!

 
Narper 2025-05-04 15:42:25 

19.4
Avesh Khan to Stoinis, SIX, what a shot. This is a half-volley outside off, Stoinis sinks on his back knee and lofts and it flies over sweeper cover. Not an easy shot that, but such is the timing and power from Stoinis. The shot of the innings that

 
Narper 2025-05-04 15:43:52 

19.6
Avesh Khan to Shashank Singh, FOUR, a forgettable night for Avesh Khan. He ends with a boundary. This is all class from Shashank Singh, he shuffles across well outside off, takes the full delivery and scoops over short fine

1.1
Marco Jansen to Markram, FOUR, does not start well. It's a short of length delivery down leg, Markram flicks and finds the fine-leg fence, beats the fielder to his right

1.4
Marco Jansen to Markram, SIX, thick outside-edge and six over third man. Length delivery and Markram gives the charge to loft, flies off a thick outside-edge

Lucknow Super Giants need 222 runs

Mitchell Marsh 0(3

 
Narper 2025-05-04 16:08:38 

2.2
Arshdeep Singh to Mitchell Marsh, out Caught by Nehal Wadhera!! Mitchell Marsh falls to Arshdeep Singh both times this season and early too. Length delivery on leg-stump, Marsh gets forward to flick and it's more height than elevation, a real steepler into the night sky, Wadhera settles under it at deep backward square-leg and takes a fine catch. Not easy with so much airtime on the ball. He just about hangs on. That's the early wicket PBKS needed.

Mitchell Marsh c Nehal Wadhera b Arshdeep Singh 0(5)

 
Narper 2025-05-04 16:13:02 

2.5
Arshdeep Singh to Markram, out Bowled!! Dragged back on and Markram curses himself as he walks off. This is a back of a length delivery outside off, width was there, Markram goes on the back foot to cut, the extra bit of bounce got the thick inside-edge and falls on middle-stump. Two in the over for Arshdeep Singh and LSG are struggling.

Markram b Arshdeep Singh 13(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

 
Narper 2025-05-04 16:20:04 

3.5
Marco Jansen to Pant, SIX, that's Pant at his best. He comes down the track and takes it on a length, clean loft and it flies flat over long-off, fine blow that

Narper 2025-05-04 16:38:26 

4.2

Arshdeep Singh to Pooran, out Lbw!! That is plumb and Pooran falls to Arshdeep Singh too. All the top-three now to Arshdeep. Big full inswinger on the stumps, Pooran slogs to leg and misses, hit on the back leg and that's crashing into the stumps. Three reds and Pooran wastes a review. Ever since Kamboj got him from round the wicket with one angled in sharply into the pads, Pooran has had trouble and now has fallen to a similar kind of ball, albeit from a left-handed bowler. Is that a weakness in his game?

Pooran lbw b Arshdeep Singh 6(5) [4s-1]

19.1

Chahal to Ayush Badoni, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Straight up and caught at short third man. Ayush Badoni waits but he has to go. Avesh the man who asked Badoni to wait. There was no question of height there. A full-toss on leg-stump, Badoni turns around for the big reverse-sweep, but miscues it completely. It goes right up. A wicket for Chahal in the last over. End of a super knock.

Ayush Badoni c Arshdeep Singh b Chahal 74(40) [4s-5 6s-5]

India and Pakistan are at war !! Why is IPL and PSL still being playing. All overseas players should return to their respective bases asap, before someone gets hurt or worse yet, killed.
