Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Highlights & Results

That's a wrap - The weekend comes to a close. Hope you all had a lot of fun. But IPL never stops. Monday, 20th April sees the clash between the western neighbours. Gujarat Titans are set to host Mumbai Indians at the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). But our buildup begins well in advance. Until then, cheers!

A quick recap of the double header - What an entertaining day it was! A proper Sunday treat. The day began at Eden Gardens with Kolkata Knight Riders getting a very narrow win against Rajasthan Royals, their first of the season. They almost botched up an under-par target, but Rinku Singh took them home with a responsible knock. Come the evening game, Punjab Kings again shattered the mathematical possibilities by smashing 254 runs on the back of ruthless ball-hitting and in the defence, they were just as clinical. They look like a team playing on a different stratosphere and maintain their unbeaten run. Lucknow Super Giants were left staring at the ceiling as they have a lot of soul-searching to do in all departments.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Priyansh Arya receives the award for his swashbuckling 93 off just 37 balls, at a staggering strike rate of 251.35. On what stood out in his innings, he tells that he was pleased to have continued batting deep after the Powerplay and kept contributing runs for the team. On his six-hitting training, he shares that he does not practice hitting sixes at all. Adds that he focuses purely on timing the ball as well as possible in the nets, and finds that approach pays off more when he gets out to bat. On his fitness routine, he says he has put in work over the last four to five months, following whatever schedule his coaches send him and crediting the routine for the improvements he has seen. On his partnership with Cooper Connolly and the lack of conversation between them at the crease, he explains that he believes too much talking while batting only clutters the mind with unnecessary thoughts, and that a quieter partnership allows both batters to play with more clarity. On his favourite shot of the night, he points out the slash over point, which went for a six.

The captain of the Punjab Kings - Shreyas Iyer says it was exceptional, with some of the shots being jaw-dropping, and adds that it takes a lot of courage and composure. He mentions that hitting fast bowlers off the back foot straight down the ground requires great bravery. He also feels that while things can slip at times, the way that the partnership was built, especially through the middle overs, was sensational. Iyer reveals he was chatting with Cooper Connolly and Priyansh Arya, jokingly asking them to compete for the most sixes, with his bat as the prize. Shreyas says that the team’s mantra is to let players be, trusting them to follow their own patterns without over-instruction. He mentions that Ricky Ponting delivers the motivation before the game, while he plays his part, and the players respond on the field. Iyer also points out that most of their bowlers are experienced, international players. Further says that the team has clear plans against opposition batters, and it ultimately comes down to execution. He stresses the importance of not getting complacent. On making this venue their fortress, he says absolutely. Adds that whenever they come here and look at the wicket, it gives them immense pleasure to be part of this setup. He mentions that last year they had to sit down and rethink their approach for this season, and wanted to prepare a surface that supports both their batters and bowlers.

... Time for the post-match Presentation ...

Up next for a quick interview - PBKS' Vijaykumar Vyshak, on being asked whether he has any premeditated plans while bowling, says that there is a lot of planning from the coaches and video analysis. He credits the people involved in that as well. He acknowledges the last couple of games did not go his way, but feels the support from the support staff made all the difference. On his recent form, he says the last two games did not go his way, but he drew cues from how Prince bowled and backed yorkers and slower deliveries as his primary weapons. He details that the video analyst specifically flagged that length balls are not a good option on this surface, which is why he went fuller and harder with the yorker. On his mindset, he says his approach stays the same regardless of the situation, whether he bowls one over or four, the goal is simply to win the match for his team.

The skipper of Lucknow Super Giants - Rishabh Pant says his left hand is getting better, but he took a blow on the right elbow, which is something he will need to keep an eye on. Rishabh tells that it is difficult to point out exactly where things went wrong. There are areas of concern, but also positives to take, and as a team, they need to do better. Pant mentions it was a pre-decided plan for Ayush Badoni to open, to allow him to bat freely. He says he believes in this team, and adds that when a team is playing well, like Punjab are, you have to give credit to them.

Mayhem in Mullanpur - Prabhsimran was gone off the third ball, with Shami drawing first blood. That was as good as it got for LSG all night. Priyansh Arya, carrying the rust of a mixed season, chose tonight to shed all of it in one go. Connolly walked in and matched him shot for shot, as the two youngsters fed off each other in a partnership that left the LSG bowlers shellshocked. They added 182 runs in just 80 balls before Arya fell agonisingly short of a hundred. Connolly was not too far behind either, but by then the damage was well and truly done. The carnage did not stop there. Stoinis, Wadhera and Shashank piled on in the back end, squeezing every last run out of a demoralised attack. In an evening where LSG's bowlers were put to the sword one after another, Prince Yadav was the solitary bright spot, finishing with figures of 2/25.

A defensive bowling masterclass - What followed after the restrictions lifted was a masterclass from the Kings' bowlers. On a belter of a pitch, they identified the bigger boundary and built their defensive plan around it. The overs dried up, the boundaries stopped coming, and LSG found themselves stuck in a phase of the game where they needed runs the most and found them the least. The asking rate climbed in silence. That is the cruel arithmetic of a T20 chase. A few quiet overs do not just cost runs, they shoot up the asking rate as well. The likes of Chahal and Vyshak tightened up the screws with cunning variations and were spot on with execution. By the time LSG looked up, the game was already gone. PBKS had pulled so far ahead that they couldn't even see their opponents in the rearview mirror.

The openers set the base - The order of the day was aggression, and Marsh and Badoni took that brief and ran with it. The two openers put on a positive start, giving LSG the kind of foundation a chase of this magnitude demanded. Badoni was particularly fluent, keeping the scoreboard moving, but he fell on the last ball of the Powerplay, though, with LSG at 61/1, a moment that threatened to take the fizz out of the innings. Pant walked in and played with freedom from the very first ball, with Marsh motoring along well too. At the end of 8 overs, there was very little to separate the two teams, with the Powerplays also cancelling out each other.

Kings rule at home - Another game, another commanding win for Punjab Kings. They are making a habit of it, going past other teams like it's a normal routine. This makes five wins out of six games (one abandoned) for them, and they get to 11 points. The first team to do so and the only side yet to lose a single game this year. The only thing they would look to improve on is their fielding and catching efficiency, which has taken a considerable hit. Problems are rising for the Lucknow Super Giants on the other end. But to be fair to them, they did well in patches to get to 200, but still remained massively short of what they were after. Their bowling came under the scanner this evening, and with good reason.

Marco Jansen to Himmat Singh, 1 run.A convincing 54-run win for the Punjab Kings. Jansen hurls it on a length, outside off. Himmat flat bats it back at the bowler. No time for Jansen to react as he sticks out his left hand. The ball deflects off his hand towards cover for a single.

Last ball coming up. Himmat Singh, LSG's Impact Sub, walks out to face that.

Marco Jansen to Aiden Markram, OUT! c Marcus Stoinis b Marco Jansen.OUT! CAUGHT! Finally, PBKS hold onto a catch, and once again, the camera pans to the PBKS dugout, where Ricky Ponting shows no emotion at all. Jansen continues to push it across the right-hander, on a length. Aiden moves across the sticks and looks to launch it down the ground. Skies it towards long off, where Marcus Stoinis settles under it and gets low to take the catch.

Marco Jansen to Aiden Markram, Four!FOUR! The ball flies in the air as does the bat. On a good length, leaving the right-hander. Aiden Markram flashes and flashes hard at it. Aiden loses grip on the bat and it balloons behind the stumps. The ball flies wide of short third to his right for a boundary.

Marco Jansen to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.PUT DOWN! The drops are spreading quickly across the field. Cross-seam ball, on a length, outside off. Mukul Choudhary swings for the hills by shuffling across. Slices it off the outer half towards short third. Prabhsimran Singh, with the gloves, calls for the catch and moves across to his right. Yuzvendra Chahal is right under it but he moves away to avoid bumping into the keeper. Perhaps that played on the mind of Prabhsimran, who could not hold onto it.

Marco Jansen to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Slower and fuller, going away. Aiden swats it to long on and crosses over.

Marco Jansen to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Across off, on a shortish length, Choudhary pulls it through mid-wicket for a single.

Last over to go. Marco Jansen to wrap things up. 3-0-29-1 so far.

Xavier Bartlett to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Low full toss, on leg. Mukul Choudhary tonks it using his bottom hand to long on for a single.

Xavier Bartlett to Mukul Choudhary, No run.Takes pace off and goes into the surface, over middle. Mukul Choudhary does not pick the change of pace and fails to connect on the pull.

Xavier Bartlett to Mukul Choudhary, 2 runs.IN THE AIR AND DROPPED AGAIN! Is it a doppelganger? No, it's Shashank for the third time. Wherever Shashank is going, the ball is following him, it seems. It's just not been a good outing for him in the field. Shreyas Iyer at long on sees the funny side of it. But the camera pans to the PBKS dugout, with Ponting with a blank face as the head coach just cannot believe it. Short and wide outside off, slower at 114.3 kph. Mukul decides to take it on, fetching it from well outside off and launching it aerially towards deep backward square leg. Shashank Singh comes in from the deep and makes a meal of it once again. The batters cross for two runs.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Fuller in length and outside off. Aiden Markram laces it down to long off for a single.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, Wide!WIDE! Takes all the pace off and digs in a bumper, but it goes over the head of the batter. Markram tries to smoke that with the pull shot but it goes over his angled bat.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, Four!FOUR! Width offered, and Aiden cashes in! Bartlett errs in line and length. High full toss but below the waist, outside off. Markram extends his hands and slaps it through point for four more.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, Four!FOUR! It flies away! Xavier Bartlett misses the yorker and slips a thigh-high full toss, outside off. Aiden Markram flashes hard at it and the ball flies off the outside edge over short third for a four.

Last 2 overs left. PBKS are inches closer to get a massive win. Xavier Bartlett (3-0-41-0) will bowl out.

Arshdeep Singh to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Full and on middle. Markam powers it down the ground to long off for one.

Arshdeep Singh to Aiden Markram, Six!SIX! What happened there? Ricky Ponting in the dugout is not happy one bit. Total misjudgement from Shashank Singh. Second time tonight that Shashank has made an error in the field. Seam-up ball, angling away, full in length. Aiden carves it off the outer half and it is skied to deep cover. Singh gets around to his right but feels that the ball is going to sail over his head. He turns around and watches the ball land on the boundary cushions on the full. A hand of apology straight away from Shashank.

Arshdeep Singh to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Wide yorker from Singh, Choudhary moves across and slices it to deep point for one.

Arshdeep Singh to Mukul Choudhary, No run.Just in! Arshdeep pushes it even wider from the right-hander and nearly a yorker. Choudhary reaches out but fails to connect. Mukul feels it should be a wide and takes the review. The replays show that Choudhary had moved across and the tramline moved with him. The ball is within the guideline and it is a fair delivery.

Arshdeep Singh to Mukul Choudhary, Four!FOUR! Streaky! Leaving the right-hander with the angle, on a length. Mukul Choudhary swings for the hills, but the ball flies off a thickish outside edge over short third for a four.

Arshdeep Singh to Mukul Choudhary, No run.Bangs it in short, on off. Mukul Choudhary stays leg side to glide it over the keeper but misses.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Aiden Markram, No run.What are you appealing for, Vyshak? A comical appeal for LBW from the speedster on a Free Hit. Angled in, on middle and leg, very full, Aiden clears the front leg but is beaten on the inside edge. The ball raps him on the back leg before dribbling to short third.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Aiden Markram, No ball!NO BALL! Third bouncer of the over. Vyshak dishes out the slower bouncer again, over middle. Markram gets his hands to play the forehand down the line but misses. Vyshak is not happy with the call but PBKS get on with it. Free Hit coming up.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Aiden Markram, No run.On a shortish length, over middle. Aiden Markram gets on his toes and goes for the pull but he is through the shot early and fails to connect.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Pace off, on the shorter side, outside off. Mukul drags it to deep square leg for one.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mukul Choudhary, Six!SIX! Clean as a whistle! The helicopter is out. Angled in, on a length, on middle and leg. Mukul Choudhary clears the front leg and brings his bottom hand into play. He mows it over wide long on for a biggie.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mukul Choudhary, No run.On a hard length, around off, Mukul Choudhary arches back and initially looks for the pull but then adjusts to play the upper cut. He fails to connect.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Low full toss, on off. Aiden drops low and smears it to long on for one.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Punjab Kings, with all the spot-on execution in this middle over phase, will surely believe that this is their game to lose now. LSG kept losing wickets and to be fair to them, the mountain they are chasing just demanded to do that. However, the tinkering with the batting order hasn't worked well for the visitors. But they will still aim to get as close as possible until Markram is there in the middle. With 97 needed off 24 balls, Vijaykumar Vyshak (3-0-21-1) is back on.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Nails the yorker this time, on middle. Aiden drills it to long on for just a single.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, Six!SIX MORE! A gift and Markram accepts it gleefully. Yorker gone wrong for Xavier Bartlett. It comes out as a thigh-high full toss, angled in, on leg. Aiden picks it up nicely and clubs it over mid-wicket for half a dozen.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, Six!SIX! All the way! On a back of a length, on middle. Markram clears the front leg and stands tall. Whips it flat to the left of deep mid-wicket for a six. LSG need many more of these. Realistically, the target looks far-fetched, so it is more about cutting down the margin of defeat.

Xavier Bartlett to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Pace off now and the length is dragged back but the line stays near the tramline. Mukul drags it down to long on and crosses over.

Xavier Bartlett to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Nice and full, not allowing Markram to get under the ball. Aiden hits it to long off for one more.

Xavier Bartlett to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Slips in the wide yorker. Mukul Choudhary looks to whip it away helicopter style but jams it out to long off for a single.

Marco Jansen to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Slow and full, around off. Mukul presses ahead and dabs it wide of point for a single.

Marco Jansen to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Fuller length, slower one, outside the off stump. Markram drags it to deep square leg for a single.

Marco Jansen to Mukul Choudhary, 1 run.Short and on middle. This is pulled to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Marco Jansen to Mukul Choudhary, No run.Steep bumper, over middle. Mukul ducks under the projectile.

Nicholas Pooran bites the dust. Another scratchy outing for the Trinidadian. In walks Mukul Choudhary.

Marco Jansen to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! c Shreyas Iyer b Marco Jansen.OUT! CAUGHT EASILY! Jansen strikes and Pooran's lean run continues with the bat this season. Fuller, outside off. It is the deceptive knuckle ball from Jansen. Pooran clears his front leg and looks to go big down the ground, but fails to read the variation and mistimes it badly off the toe end. Iyer moves to his right at long on and takes a good running catch. LSG are 139/4, chasing 255.

Marco Jansen to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Slants it into the batter, full in length. Aiden Markram clips it to deep square leg for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Slides it on leg, on a length, this is flicked to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, 1 run.IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Geez, that went to the moon and came down. But Shashank has completely misjudged this one. Full in length and a googly on the leg stump. Pooran goes down on a knee for the slog sweep, but tries to hit it too hard as he targets the longer boundary. Gets it high in the air towards Shashank at deep square leg. Shashank stabilises himself but misjudges the trajectory of the ball. Dives to his right at the last second but drops it. A single taken.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Pushed fuller on middle. Aiden tries to smash it straight but gets the connection off the inner half and it rolls to long on for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, 1 run.Very full again, on the leg pole. Pooran carves it to the mid-wicket region for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, No run.Too full and on middle. Pooran squeezes it straight back at the bowler.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Flat and full, skidding through. Markram goes for the pull, but inside edges it to deep square leg for a single.

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholas Pooran, Four!FOUR! Ramped over! Short and just outside off. Pooran gets underneath it and opens the blade at the last moment. Adjusts to ramp it between the keeper and short third for four runs.

Arshdeep Singh to Aiden Markram, 1 run.Nips in from a fuller length, on middle. Markram drills it down to long on for a single.

Arshdeep Singh answers the skipper's call. Aiden Markram walks out to bat. The bat he walks out with does not pass through the gauge, so he will have to change it. The replacement passes the check.

Arshdeep Singh to Rishabh Pant, OUT! c Prabhsimran Singh b Arshdeep Singh.OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent execution again rewards the bowler. Wide yorker outside off. Pant shuffles across and bends, moving away from the off stump. Opens the face to slice it through third man but gets it off the outside edge and there is a deviation as well. The ball goes flat to the left of the keeper, offering a catching practice for Prabhsimran behind the stumps. Loud appeal and the finger goes up. Pant is unconvinced and calls for the review. UltraEdge shows a clear spike, but Pant walks back to his crease, believing it is the bat hitting the ground and not the outside edge. The third umpire spots the deflection, and the on-field decision stands.

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholas Pooran, 1 run.Slightly fuller in length, on leg. Nicholas Pooran clears the front leg, gets down on a knee and whips it aerially and on the bounce between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. Xavier Bartlett sprints to his left from the latter position and flicks the ball to the other converging fielder from deep square leg before running over the ropes. Saves two for his team.

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholas Pooran, Wide!WIDE! Slips in the full toss down leg, but Pooran misses to whip that away. Wide called.

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholas Pooran, 2 runs.Full and tailing onto the pads. Nicholas Pooran flicks it to the right of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

Arshdeep Singh to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.Full and straight on off, Pant drills it down to long on for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, No run.A confident shout for LBW! Turned down by the umpire. Prabhsimran Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal are pretty convinced. Shreyas Iyer sends it upstairs. Where has this pitched? This is bowled quicker through the air, full and around leg from over the wicket. Nicholas Pooran gets down on a knee for the slog sweep but misses and gets hit on the crouched back thigh. No bat involved, but the Ball Tracking confirms that the ball has pitched outside the line.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.Full and on leg, that is flicked away through mid wicket for a single.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, Six!SIX! Hand comes off but it sails all the way! Pitched full and on the stumps. Rishabh Pant advances down the track, gets under it and despite the bottom hand losing the grip, he manages to smoke the ball over long on for a six.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, Six!SIX! Nearly a perfect team effort in the deep. Full and flighted, just outside off. Pant drops to a knee and swings hard across the line for the slog sweep. Gets it high but not far enough. Arya charges to his right from deep mid-wicket and takes it near the ropes with his hands stretched forward. Realising that he is about to touch the ropes, he lobs the ball to the converging fielder from long on and Jansen takes it nicely. But the umpires want to have a look at the legality of the catch. The replays show that Arya's foot is grazing the boundary cushion while having the ball in hand. So it will be a six.

Another special effort from PBKS? Not quite. Priyansh Arya's feet are in contact with the boundary cushions when he has the ball in hand.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Nicholas Pooran, Leg bye.Leg bye! On a good length, turning into the pads. Pooran is beaten on the flick. A leg bye is taken as the ball clips the pads and rolls to square leg.

Yuzvendra Chahal gets his just reward. Nicholas Pooran makes his way out to the middle.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! c Xavier Bartlett b Yuzvendra Chahal.OUT! MISTIMED AND CAUGHT! Chahal fishes out the Bison and gets rewarded for exceptional execution. Chahal invites the batter by flighting the ball at 86.7 kph. Full and pitching outside off. Marsh sits down on a knee and goes for the slog sweep across the line. Gets it off the bottom of the bat. Ends up hitting it flat and straight to his Australian teammate Xavier Bartlett at long on. Marsh has a wry smile as he walks off. Lucknow Super Giants are 109/2, needing 146 more runs.

The physio is out for Rishabh Pant. The magic spray is being applied to the right elbow of the LSG skipper, not the one he took a blow to the other night against RCB. There is going to be a change of ball. Xavier Bartlett walks over to the umpires to check which ball is being picked. Another change of bat for Mitchell Marsh. Will this help Marsh get a move on, because the time is running out for LSG?

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, No run.Excellent wide yorker, outside off. Pant doesn't get the leverage to put his bat under the ball to slam it over cover and misses to connect. Just 12 runs from the last 2 overs for LSG and the asking rate has zoomed up to 16.22.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, No run.Pushed outside off, on a fuller length. Rishabh Pant tries to smoke the slower one down the ground, but inside edges it and the ball rolls back to Prabhsimran.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.A low full toss at pace, on middle. Mitchell Marsh is a bit late on the shot and lofts it off the toe end to long on for a single.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, No run.Good deception! Slows it up, does Vyshak, on a length outside off. Mitchell Marsh swings the bat to pull in January, but the ball arrives in December to beat him all ends up.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.Pushed fuller and on middle and leg. Pant gets low and tries to slog it over deep mid-wicket, but inside edges on the thigh pad as the ball rolls away to the off side for a single.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, Four!FOUR! Much needed to break free! Slower bumper, at shoulder height. Pant rises up and fetches it from outside off. Drags it wide of mid-wicket for a boundary.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, Wide!WIDE! Short of a good length, down leg. Pant gets inside the line to pull it behind on the leg side, but misses.

Halfway done. Lucknow Super Giants are 102/1, needing 153 runs from 60 balls. The last couple of overs have been quiet, credit to the spot on defensive bowling on a belter of a pitch.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.Only 5 singles from the over. Outstanding work from Chahal. Yuzi tosses it up, on a length. Pant advances but can only nudge it to square leg and pick up a single. Just 13 runs off the last 2 overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.Pushed through from the front of the hand, very full, on leg. Marsh knocks it to long on for one.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.This is slowed down at 76.1 kph, and the length is pulled back. Pant hacks it across the line to deep mid-wicket for another single. 11 balls since the last boundary for LSG.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.Keeps it away from the batter's arc, on a length, a hint of turn. Marsh reaches out and powers it to deep cover for a run.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.At the toes, on the fuller side. Rishabh wrists it to deep mid-wicket for one.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Rishabh Pant, No run.Short and on off, that is cut away but straight to the fielder at point.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.Superb stuff from Vyshak. Mixed his pace, lines and lengths up all over and kept the batters guessing. He goes for just 8 runs and the required run rate has now climbed to 14.36. On the shorter side, on off. Pant shovels it to short fine leg and takes a quick single.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.So far, so good from Vyshak. Vijaykumar gets it full enough to deny Marsh the leverage to get under it. Marsh can only hit this along the ground to long off and cross over.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.This is nice and tight, on top of off, on a back of a length. Rishabh is cramped for room and chops it through point for one.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, Wide!Wide! Going across, slower bouncer, Pant thinks about going after it but then bails out. He watches the ball sail over his head. Wide given for height.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.Missed out! Vyshak looks for the yorker but gets it wrong. Marsh swings at it but mishits the low full toss to long off. Just a single.

Change of bat for Marsh. Looks like the previous one took a bad hit on the bottom. He gets it exchanged and is good to continue.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Rishabh Pant, 1 run.On a hard length, on off. Rishabh shimmies and spanks it to the left of long off for one.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, 1 run.Low full toss, on leg, this is driven through mid on for a single.

Vijaykumar Vyshak to Mitchell Marsh, Wide!Wide! Banged in short, slower ball, this is too high and it is left alone for the keeper to collect.
