New Delhi: Punjab Kings (PBKS) bagged their second win in a row after thrashing Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 8 wickets at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday, April 01. Punjab Kings produced a disciplined bowling effort to restrict LSG to 171/7 in 20 overs before chasing down the target comfortably with 22 balls to spare.
It was a clinical run chase from Punjab Kings, who rode on brilliant half-centuries from opener Prabhsimran Singh and skipper Shreyas Iyer to make light work of the 172-run target. Prabhsimran slammed a quickfire 69 off just 34 balls to get his team off to a flying start on a tacky Ekana surface before Iyer combined with Nehal Wadhera to get PBKS over the line comfortably.
PBKS lost opening batter Priyansh Arya cheaply on just 8 off 9 balls in the 3rd over, but Prabhsimran’s fireworks ensured the visitors capitalised well on the Powerplay. The right-hander took the attack to the LSG bowlers from the word go and smashed the ball all around the park to race to his fifty off just 23 balls, helping PBKS finish with 62 runs off the Powerplay.
Prabhsimran continued his assault from one end with support from skipper Iyer, who played his natural game from the other. The opener hammered 69 off 34 balls laced with 9 fours and 3 sixes to set the stage for an easy run chase for Punjab. After his departure in the 11th over, Shreyas combined with Wadhera to share an unbeaten stand of 67 runs for the third wicket to take his team home.
Arshdeep Singh starred with the ball while Prabhsimran Singh slammed a match-winning half-century to help Punjab Kings (PBKS) thrash Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 8 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday.
