It was clean hitting from start to finish after Lucknow Super Giants opted to bowl at home, a decision that quickly looked off course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arya\u2013Connolly partnership turns Mullanpur into hitting ground<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Priyansh Arya made 93 off 37 balls, while Cooper Connolly hit 87 off 46 as the pair added 182 runs in 80 balls. The stand never slowed, even as LSG tried seven bowlers. Between them, they struck 16 sixes in the partnership, repeatedly clearing the straight and square boundaries with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Arya\u2019s knock included 9 sixes and 4 fours. Connolly matched the tempo with 7 sixes and 8 fours. Marcus Stoinis added late damage with 29 off 16 balls, including 2 sixes, pushing the total past 250. At one stage, Aiden Markram was taken for 32 runs in a single over, the most expensive of the season. PBKS hit 21 sixes, the fifth-most by a team in an IPL innings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LSG bowlers struggle as Prince Yadav stands out in chaos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Shami took 1 for 56, but was taken apart in the middle overs. Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan also went for heavy runs as Punjab kept accelerating through the innings. The lack of control in lengths, especially into the pitch, fed the hitters.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Yadav was the one bright spot. He finished with 2 for 25 and even produced a sharp last over, giving away just 5 runs while also running out Stoinis off the final ball. His spell stood out on a night when most bowlers were under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>LSG skipper Rishabh Pant, bowl first after winning the toss, would have expected a chase-friendly surface. But with 254 on the board, that plan now demands serious hitting from their top order. The pitch stayed true, but the execution with the ball was far from it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBKS pile up 254 as Arya\u2013Connolly tear into LSG attack Punjab Kings posted 254-7 in 20 overs, the highest total\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":49425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49413"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49413\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49423,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49413\/revisions\/49423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
