Young Pace bowler Mayank Yadav grabbed three wickets whereas Mohsin Khan took two as Lucknow Super Giants defeated Punjab Kings by 21 runs regardless of openers Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow’s century partnership at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Saturday. Chasing a troublesome 200-run goal for victory after LSG had made 199 for 8, Shikhar smashed a 50-ball 70, whereas Bairstow was equally belligerent in his 29-ball 42 because the duo amassed 102 runs for the opening wicket.

But Mayank struck when issues have been beginning to look bleak for LSG, eliminating Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma to return figures of three/27. Mohsin chipped in with 2/34 as PBKS may solely handle 178/5 of their 20 overs. Earlier, wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock (54), stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran (42) and Krunal Pandya (43) performed some massive photographs because the hosts made a robust bid to win at house. Sam Curran emerged probably the most profitable PBKS bowler grabbing three wickets for 28 runs.
