Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs – IPL 2026 Match Report

Priyansh Arya does not do things quietly. The Punjab Kings opener smashed 93 off 37 balls at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur on Sunday, setting the tone for a 254/7 total that Lucknow Super Giants were never going to chase. Punjab Kings won by 54 runs.

Innings 1: Punjab Kings – 254/7 (20 ov)

Arya and Cooper Connolly put on 182 for the second wicket after Prabhsimran Singh fell for a first-ball duck. Connolly contributed 87 off 46 balls (SR 189.13) before being removed in the 14th over. By then the damage was done – PBKS hit 185 before losing their second wicket in the 13th over, with the platform set for a huge finish. Marcus Stoinis added 29 off 16 before being run out in the final over, and Shashank Singh blitzed 17 off just 6 balls (SR 283.33) in the closing stages.

For LSG, Prince Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with 2/25 off four overs (Econ 6.25), and Manimaran Siddharth took 2/35. Mohammed Shami conceded 56 off four – a tough evening for the LSG attack.

Innings 2: Lucknow Super Giants – 200/5 (20 ov)

LSG made a decent fist of the reply without ever getting close. Ayush Badoni and Mitchell Marsh put on 61 for the first wicket in under six overs. Rishabh Pant hit 43 off 23 (SR 186.96) before Arshdeep Singh removed him in the 13th over. Aiden Markram clubbed 42 off 22 (SR 190.91) before Marco Jansen had him caught in the penultimate over. With a target of 255 and only five down at the close, LSG batters contributed but it was always a consolation innings – they finished 54 runs short.
