IPL 2023 PBKS vs LSG: Punjab Kings bounce back after early wickets in power-play session

For LSG – Amit Mishra comes in as an impact player, replacing Kyle Mayers.

Punjab Kings have shown some promise after a shaky start to their innings in their chase against Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing IPL 2023. After losing their captain Shikhar Dhawan and opener Prabhsimran Singh in the early stages of their innings, the Kings managed to recover well with Atharva leading the charge.

Atharva has been a standout performer for the Kings in this match, showing his positive intent and scoring quick runs. He has managed to score 32 runs off just 14 deliveries, including three sixes, and has kept the hopes alive for his team. On the other hand, Sikandar Raza is yet to find his rhythm and make a significant impact.

Despite the Kings’ valiant efforts, the Super Giants have continued to dominate the game. The hosts need to step up their game and chase down the mammoth target of 258 runs in order to please the home crowd.

Adding to the Kings’ woes, the Super Giants have also made a smart move by bringing in their impact substitute, leg-spinner Amit Mishra. Mishra has replaced Kyle Mayers, who had a great night with the bat and ball, scoring 54 runs off just 24 deliveries and conceding only 4 runs in his one over during the power play.

Now, with Mishra on board, the Super Giants will be looking to maintain their dominance and prevent the Kings from scoring freely. It remains to be seen whether the Kings can bounce back and put up a fight in the remaining overs. With the game in its crucial stages, the fans are eagerly waiting to see who will emerge victorious.
