Shahrukh Khan has powered Punjab Kings over the line with an unbeaten 10-ball 23, helping the side to a 2-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants to return to winning ways following two defeats. KL Rahul returned to form with the bat, with a 56-ball 74. However, some fine bowling by Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza's half-century proved crucial in dictating the eventual result of the contest as PBKS registered their third win in five games this season, much like where LSG stand.

7 runs. 6 balls. 2 wickets

WICKETRavi Bishnoi strike again! And it's the big wicket of Sikandar Raza. After strangling the scoring for a bit, Bishnoi gets Raza to sweep to the fielder at deep square leg. This wicket turns the contest in favour of LSG.

23 runs in 18 balls. 4 wickets in hand - are we going to witness another close finish tonight?

WICKET Ravi Bishnoi has been brought into the attack, and he has struck with the big wicket of Sam Curran, who holes out to the fielder at long off. However, the wait has allowed PBKS to find some momentum in the run chase and edge ahead marginally.
