After Prabhsimran Singh\u2019s sublime 91 took PBKS to a massive 236\/5, Arshdeep removed Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran inside the powerplay to all but virtually set the deal in PBKS\u2019 favour. Ayush Badoni (74) and Abdul Samad (45) sharing an 81-run stand for the sixth wicket ensured LSG finished at 199\/7, which meant their net run rate didn\u2019t suffer much, as PBKS got those crucial two points to boost their playoffs chances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
PBKS\u2019 had a bright start to their defence \u2013 Arshdeep took out openers Marsh and Markram in the third over. While Marsh\u2019s flick was caught by an attentive deep backward square leg, Markram chopped on to his stumps. Arshdeep again struck in power-play when his inswinger went past Pooran\u2019s stumps and hit him on the back leg, thus trapping him plumb lbw, as LSG made 38\/3 in the power-play, their lowest score in this phase of the ongoing season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rishabh Pant hit three boundaries in his 18 off 17 off balls, before flashing so hard against Azmatullah Omarzai that he lost control of the bat, while the ball was easily caught by deep cover in the eighth over. LSG\u2019s slide continued as David Miller sliced to deep cover, giving Omarzai his second wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Samad and Badoni brought out some big-hitting blitzkrieg \u2013 smashing 21 runs off Vyshak Vijaykumar\u2019s first over, before the former dispatched Yuzvendra Chahal for two sixes in the 13th over. Samad\u2019s blitzkrieg continued when he whipped Marcus Stoinis for four and six, before he hit a slower ball from Jansen back to left-arm pacer and fall for a 24-ball 45.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Badoni went on to bring up his fifty off 32 balls by lofting Vyshak over long-on for six, and followed it up with an incredible whip and sweep fetching him more boundaries. But Chahal had other ideas \u2013 forcing Badoni to miscue to short third man and fall for a 40-ball 74, as PBKS began their crucial home stretch with a complete win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
