Lucknow Super Giants put on a fine bowling display to knock over Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 clash on Friday. Mohsin Khan took three wickets while Krunal Pandya took two for just 13 runs in his four overs as LSG registered a 20-run victory while defending 154 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Earlier, Quinton de Kock‘s 46 and Deepak Hooda‘s 34 were the only performances of note with the bat for them as a Kagiso Rabada-led Punjab attack restricted them to 153/8. Rabada finished with four wickets.

Purple Cap Race

Promoted
The SRH duo of Umran Malik and T Natarajan both have 15 wickets, but Malik is third because of a better economy rate.
