Batting first, PBKS posted a formidable total of 236/5 in their allotted 20 overs. Prabhsimran Singh led the charge with a scintillating 91 off 48 balls, including 6 fours and 7 sixes. Captain Shreyas Iyer contributed a brisk 45 off 25 deliveries, while Shashank Singh's unbeaten 33 off 15 balls provided a late-innings surge. Despite some resistance from LSG's bowlers, PBKS' aggressive batting ensured a challenging target for the opposition.
In response, LSG's chase faltered early, with openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh dismissed cheaply by Arshdeep Singh, leaving them at 16/2 within three overs. Nicholas Pooran attempted to stabilize the innings but was trapped LBW by Arshdeep, further denting LSG's hopes.
