With this win, Punjab temporarily went up to the 4th position with 15 points but if Rajasthan Royals defeat Mumbai Indians on Sunday, they will leapfrog Punjab with 16 points and qualify for the play-offs.

Synopsis: Shreyas’s maiden IPL hundred and Prabhsimran’s 69 end Punjab’s six-game losing streak; Inglis’s 72 against his old mentor Ponting never enough as PBKS keep playoff hopes alive Punjab Kings began this season winning seven games in a row. Then they lost six. On Saturday night in Lucknow, Shreyas Iyer hit a maiden IPL hundred off the last ball of the penultimate over – a six that finished the game – as Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets. They now move to 15 points and fourth place. Rajasthan Royals, one game left and two points behind, can still leapfrog them. Last year, after Punjab Kings finished runners-up, Shreyas Iyer said the job was still half done. He wanted to receive the trophy next year. Seven wins, then six losses — a season that had folded in on itself in three weeks, leaving a team that once looked like title contenders scrambling for a lifeline on the final night of the league stage. On Saturday night, with the season on the line, he …

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Match Live Cricket Score: Seven unbeaten games. Six winless matches thereafter. No high-flying team has endured such wavering patterns within a season quite like the Punjab Kings have this year. So much so that their Playoffs fate lies very much on the brink, rests on a prayer and a performance that will break them from a rut. In the defeats that have come hitting hard one after the other, Punjab’s strengths have unravelled. The lack of a stable middle-order, skipper Shreyas Iyer’s indifferent run when faced with the early departures of the openers, and a fluctuating bowling cohort have all contributed to Punjab’s downfall. Story continues below this ad But in Lucknow, Iyer & Co. run into a team that has lacked colour and character all through the season. Two points will be a matter of survival for Punjab, still relying on tomorrow’s results for qualification. For Rishabh Pant and his men, a win will be about wiping the slate clean after a gruelling summer. SCROLL DOWN …

IPL 2026 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Playing 11, Squad, Captain & Players List Today Match Updates: Punjab Kings have undergone the kind of collapse this season that could be a contender for one of the greatest ever in the history of the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) league stage and their destruction could be complete if they lose to the Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. Even a victory wouldn’t be enough to guarantee a spot in the top four at the end of all the league matches but that is the bare minimum they need to stay in the race. All this for a team that had not lost any of their first seven games and looked a shoo-in for a playoff spot even before the last quarter of the league stage began, perhaps even a top-placed finish. The wheels have come off quite spectacularly for PBKS but on Saturday, they will be up against a team who is probably the only one having a worse time than them with regards to …

Arya, Connolly six-hitting spree keeps Punjab Kings unbeaten streak intact as Lucknow Super Giants thrashed

Published by Webster

SYNOPSIS: Punjab Kings’ power-packed batting unit comes up with an electrifying performance to bury Lucknow Super Giants and remain unbeaten It was quite a statement to make but said much about the confidence levels at which Punjab Kings have been operating since captain Shreyas and head coach Ricky Ponting came together. Much has been said about how the defending champions Royals Challengers Bengaluru have grown from strength to strength this season. The same holds true for Punjab, last season’s beaten finalists. So far this season, they have chased 200-plus totals effortlessly twice, and a target of 196 with 21 deliveries to spare. In that context, there was a crucial question. How will Punjab’s batting respond batting first. In a tournament in which teams have preferred to chase, setting a target brings its own share of challenges. From figuring out a par score to maintaining tempo throughout in pursuit of it and playing high-risk cricket without having to worry about what happens if they falter… there are endless situations that franchises confront. But try telling this …

Ambati Rayadu says ‘feeling very sorry’ for Rishabh Pant | Ipl News

Rishabh Pant’s Indian Premier League 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants is getting bad to worse. While the team did string up a few good results early season, Pant’s lack of form went under the radar; they have been struggling of late, and now the form of Pant has come under sharp focus. Chasing 236 runs against Punjab Kings on a good batting track, Pant on Sunday had the opportunity to play a knock of substance, but the runs did not manifest, and the way he got out was more concerning. Trying to hit a ball on the off-side, the bat slipped out of his hand and fell near the square-leg region, and the ball ended up as a simple catch, Shashank Singh in the ring. “I think, at this point in time, I’m feeling very sorry for him because he’s not been changing his batting order or his approach,” Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo’s Time Out. “I think he’s being pretty stubborn about how he wants to go about things. It’s not working in his favour …

‘You’re trying to, you know, show off. We know what Virat Kohli did….’: Sunil Gavaskar on notebook celebration of LSG bowler Digvesh Rathi | Ipl News

While Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi was fined 25 percent of his match fee and one demerit point by BCCI for the notebook celebration after removing Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya during the IPL match at Lucknow last evening, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticised the young star about his act. Rathi’s notebook celebration, once made famous by West Indies bowler Kesrick Williams after taking Virat Kohli’s wicket in 2017, saw Gavaskar terming the celebration as a ‘show off’ and even talking about Virat Kohli’s response to Williams later in the series. “I can understand the celebration if the wicket comes after the batsman hit a boundary or a six in the previous ball. As a bowler, you’ve got six deliveries. So if you got five dot balls and get a wicket of the sixth, then you do something like that, it’s not understandable. But all these gestures mean that you don’t expect to get a wicket. And now that you’ve got a wicket, you’re trying to, you know, show off. We know …

PBKS remind Rishabh Pant about joke after IPL 2025 auction

Published by Webster

Rishabh Pant was reminded of a joke about the Punjab Kings by the team’s social media handle after Lucknow Super Giants’ eight-wicket defeat to the PBKS on Tuesday night. Pant was the most expensive pick of the Indian Premier League 2025 auction after the Lucknow Super Giants splurged a whopping Rs 27 crore on the wicketkeeper-batter. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings had secured the services of Shreyas Iyer for Rs 26.75 crore, thus making him the second costliest buy in the IPL mega auction. The IPL 2025 game between Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants thus became a referendum on the two most costliest picks of the IPL auction. And the Punjab Kings social media team, in particular, was chuffed that their skipper had come good with an unbeaten 52 off just 30 balls as the PBKS outfit chased down the target of 172 with 22 balls to spare. In contrast to Iyer, who has been in roaring form this season, Pant has struggled with the bat. The wicketkeeper has managed to score just 17 runs off …

Lucknow Super Giants slumped to their second defeat of the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in their third game while leaves them in sixth spot in the IPL 2025 standings. For the LSG team, this latest loss was even more bruising as it came at Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket. The defeat also raised the scrutiny of the franchise which had opted to let captain KL Rahul walk away ahead of the IPL auctions. To replace Rahul, LSG bet big on Rishabh Pant in the IPL auctions, spending a whopping Rs 27 crore thus making him the most expensive player in the tournament’s history. On Tuesday, Pant’s stay in the middle against Punjab lasted just five balls where he managed to score just two runs. So is the weight of the massive price tag hanging heavy on his shoulders?
