  • Player of the Match
    Sikandar Raza
    57(41)&1/19(2)
That is it from this game and we have yet again witnessed a humdinger of a game. The action in the 2023 Indian T20 League continues on Sunday, the 16th of April with another doubleheader. In the first game, Mumbai will host Kolkata at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT) and that will be followed by a clash between Gujarat and Rajasthan in Ahmedabad at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can however catch the build-up for both those games a lot earlier. Cheers!
Sikandar Raza is the Player of the Match for his match-winning knock along with his one wicket. The Zimbabwean star says that it feels great to win the game and credits Shahrukh Khan for the way he finished the game. Adds that it is one of the biggest stages and you want to do well. Admits that he had a few average games and is happy that it went well this evening. Feels that the wicket of Jitesh Sharma was very crucial as he has the ability to hit the big shots and his dismissal could have been the turning point but Shahrukh came in and did the job.
Sam Curran, the stand-in captain of Punjab, calls it an amazing win and is happy that the boys chipped in. Admits that it was not a perfect game. Praises the bowlers and shares that there was dew but the pitch was still offering something. He lauds the way Sikandar Raza batted and is thrilled with the batting of Shahrukh Khan. Hopes that they all keep their form and on his personal form, Sam replies that his rhythm is getting good and credits all the bowlers in his team. Smiles and hopes that Shikhar Dhawan gets fit soon.
KL Rahul, the captain of Lucknow, says that they were 10 runs short and the dew also came in later which helped the batters. Mentions that on a fairly new ground, one cannot rely on previous games' stats. Says that they take it as it goes and they could have got to 180 as well but unfortunately a few of the main batters weren't able to fire. On his splendid catch to dismiss Jitesh Sharma, KL replies that he gives his all when on the ground. Mentions that they have batters in the side who can clear the fence with regularity and it's not just about power but skills as well. Ends by saying that they look to give the batters that freedom so they can do their own thing.
Stay tuned for a few interviews...
Lucknow gave it their all on the field and it's their batting that will have to take the blame for this defeat. Only KL Rahul was the one who fought like a warrior but he received very little support from the other batters. A total of 159 was only going to be below par with the dew setting in and credit goes to the Lucknow bowlers for taking this match into the last over. Yudhvir Singh was incredible in his maiden outing as he bagged a couple of early wickets and Mark Wood once again was fast and furious in his stint. Ravi Bishnoi picked the prized scalps of Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza and the departure of the latter left Punjab in a pickle but Shahrukh Khan, the cricketer, also spread his arms and absorbed all the pressure to earn his team crucial points.
This match saw plenty of twists and turns as momentum was no one's friend. Punjab started on the wrong foot and lost three wickets inside the Powerplay. Matthew Short's early attack though helped them to gather some important runs in the first six overs. The chase never looked secure for the visiting side due to the regular fall of wickets but Sikandar Raza's timely onslaught handed them a solid shot in the arm. He brought this match on level terms and then a timely cameo from Shahrukh Khan won them the game in the end.
There's something in the air in this season's Indian T20 League. Almost every game is going the distance and it's been very hard to predict an outright winner. The afternoon game on Saturday can be counted as an aberration as it was quite one-sided but this one filled our Super Saturday with all the thrill and entertainment. Punjab held on to their nerves in the end and registered a vital away win.

Ravi Bishnoi To Shahrukh Khan
FOUR! Shahrukh Khan seals the win in style! Ravi Bishnoi drags this one down and bowls it outside off. Khan waits for it and thumps it over extra cover. The man from long off can't get there and it will be a boundary. PUNJAB WIN BY 2 WICKETS!

Ravi Bishnoi To Shahrukh Khan
Just short! Good effort in the deep from Deepak Hooda. A tad shorter and around middle, Shahrukh Khan flat-bats it down to long on where Hooda dives forward but fails to reach the ball. He manages to get his body behind it but the batters get another brace.

Ravi Bishnoi To Shahrukh Khan
On middle, Shahrukh Khan gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps it in front of the man at deep mid-wicket. The batters push hard for two and make it back with ease.
Right then, yet another game is going down to the wire. 7 needed off 6 balls looks like a simple equation and someone like Shahrukh Khan can settle this with one big blow but there is pressure and it makes you do funny things. Ravi Bishnoi to bowl...

Too close for comfort! Back of a length and around off, Sikandar Raza hangs back and dabs it just behind point. They set off for the single as the bowler Avesh Khan goes chasing after the ball. The batters push for the second and the fielder fires in a good throw at the keeper's end. Nicholas Pooran whips off the bails but the replays show that the dive just about saved Raza here.
Appeal for a run out. It looks touch and go but Ayush Badoni's reaction at square leg suggests that the batter is home. The replays also find the same.
Avesh Khan is back to bowl at the death. 0 for 15 from his 2 overs so far.

SIX! BANG! Shahrukh Khan shows no respect to the pace of Mark Wood and thumps him for a maximum. This is on a good length around off, Khan simply frees his arms and clobbers it over the long-on fence for a biggie.
Strategic break. 'Catches win matches' and Lucknow will like to believe that the last catch from their skipper will snatch the momentum in their favour and rub on everyone. With 38 needed off 25 balls, this match is tightly poised. Sikandar Raza is the key to Punjab's chances but he will need support from the other end. The big-hitter Shahrukh Khan is the new batter.

Mark Wood To Jitesh Sharma OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Oh, what a catch! Skipper KL Rahul with a stunning catch and Jitesh Sharma simply cannot believe it. Mark Wood goes full and bowls it outside off, Sharma clears the front leg and thumps it a bit uppishly but wide of mid off. Rahul there springs to his left at full stretch and grabs it with both hands. This could be a big moment in the game.

A quick bumper this at 148 clicks and Sikandar Raza is hurried on for pace. Raza though thinks it has flown above his head and takes the review for a wide call. The third umpire checks and the batter is crouching a bit but it is still a bit too high and it is changed to a wide. Good review!

A huge mix-up in the middle but Punjab survive! This is tossed up on middle, Sikandar Raza nudges it to the right of the bowler and Harpreet Singh sets off for the single. He is sent back immediately as Krishnappa Gowtham runs towards it. Gowtham gets to the ball but fires in a throw wide of the stumps at the bowler's end from a few feet away. A huge let-off, this!
Strategic break. It's been a good start from Lucknow so far. Picking 3 wickets inside the Powerplay has handed them the advantage but they need to keep bowling well to stay in the hunt. Punjab are currently on the back foot but a good stand can put their chase in the ascendency. A crucial middle phase coming up. Krishnappa Gowtham is back on.
