In a high scoring clash at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) decreased against Punjab Kings (PBK), who posted a total of 236/5. Despite a brave effort with the bat, LSG could manage 199/7 only in response. Ayush Badoni emerged as a standout artist for LSG, showing his class by scoring 74 runs in only 40 delivery. His knock was held with five borders and five huge sixes, which kept the LSG in a hunt while chasing.
Speaking at the post -match press conference, Badoni admitted that the team could do better in the field.
“I think we could control 10-15 runs, but it was channel. I think the wicket was very good,” he said.
Despite the defeat, Badoni’s performance was a silver lining for LSG, and their form would be important for the team as they bounce back to the rest of the tournament.
In the match, Abdul Samad and Badoni started a fight as they set a stand of 81 runs, as the Lucknow Super Veterans lost 37 runs from 37 runs to 37 runs due to top-order failure.
With this win, PBKS is in second place with seven wins, three defeats and one result, giving them 15 points. LSG is in seventh place, with five wins and six defeats, giving them 10 points.
LSG won the toss and opted to bat first.
