LSG Defeats PBKS By 56 Runs,

The Punjab Kings fell short in their pursuit of an improbable chase, requiring nearly 13 runs per over, despite maintaining a decent scoring rate to finish with 201 runs in 19.5 overs. Atharava Taide played well, scoring 66 off 36 balls, which was his first fifty-plus score in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, Liam Livingstone (36 off 22) and Sikandar Raza (23 off 14) were unable to stay at the crease long enough to put pressure on the opposition.Shikhar Dhawan, the Punjab Kings skipper, returned to the team but only managed to face two balls before getting dismissed. Yash Thakur, a young pacer, was the most successful bowler for the opposition with figures of 4/37 in 4 overs. With this victory, the LSG team registered their fifth win in eight matches, while the Punjab Kings suffered their fourth loss in eight games.
