IPL 2025: PBKS Strike Early, But Late Blitz By Badoni, Samad Lifts LSG To 171/7
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Arshdeep Singh took (3-43) but Nicholas Pooran's 44 and Ayush Badoni's 41 helped Lucknow Super Giants reach 171/7 after 20 overs against Punjab Kings in Match 13 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, here at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
After winning the toss, Punjab Kings (PBKS) made early inroads and kept the pressure on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). PBKS pacer Arshdeep Singh struck with his very first ball, dismissing in-form Mitchell Marsh for a first-ball duck. He had a good start to IPL 2025, hitting fifties in his first two innings.
The left-arm seamer banged the ball into the pitch, extracting bounce and movement, forcing Marsh into a mistimed leading edge that ballooned to Marco Jansen at short third man. Arshdeep nearly had another wicket in his second over but dropped a difficult return catch off Aiden Markram, who was on eight at the time.
