PBKS vs LSG: Watch - Ayush Badoni, Liam Livingstone Engaged In On-Field Banter, Batter Hits Six But Bowler Has Last Laugh

Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper Shikhar Dhawan won the toss & elected to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). LSG got off to a rollicking start as they scored 74 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Ayush Badoni surprisingly continued to bat at the No.3 position. Ayush Badoni was seen taking calculative risks.

Kyle Mayers struck a blistering knock of 54 runs in 24 balls as he struck 7 fours and 4 sixes. All the variations were proving to be ineffective against Kyle Mayers as the pitch didn’t have any significant demons in it. The likes of Arshdeep Singh & the debutant Gurnorr Brar were taken to the cleaners.

Ayush Badoni along with Marcus Stoinis were seen toying with the bowlers. The sly spinner Sikandar Raza was hammered for 17 runs in his first over. Shikhar Dhawan was quite clueless as all the field placings didn’t work well.

LSG’s score at 13.3 overs was 163-3 and would be aiming to post a score in excess of 220 which would give them a psychological advantage over PBKS. PBKS need to get rid of Marcus Stoinis & Nicholas Pooran quickly as the duo can inflict a lot of damage.
