The match was played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, where Punjab Kings put up a huge score of 237 runs. This victory placed PBKS in the second position in the points table.
Punjab Kings were sent in to bat first, and they utilized the opportunity to the fullest. Prabhsimran Singh delivered a stunning knock of 91 runs from 48 balls, comprising some explosive hitting. He paved the way for the innings with a significant 78-run partnership with team captain Shreyas Iyer, who added 45 runs. Together, they were instrumental in posting a decent total for PBKS.

Wadhera scored 16 runs, Singh hit 33 runs, and Stoinis scored 15 runs, helping Punjab Kings post a strong 236 for 5 from 20 overs.
Lucknow Super Giants in reply could not maintain the needed run rate. Ayush Badoni was the sole fighter for LSG, struggling hard with a well-played 74 runs from 40 balls. His innings helped LSG remain in the game, but he did not get enough support from the other batsmen. The Punjab bowlers, headed by Arshdeep Singh, were able to restrict the Lucknow batting order. Arshdeep got 3 wickets for a mere 16 runs, leading the attack with a great performance. Azmatullah Omarzai also made a significant impact, picking up 2 wickets for 33 runs. Despite Badoni’s resistance, LSG could only manage to reach 199 for 7 in 20 overs, falling short by 37 runs.
This win was essential for Punjab Kings as they are maintaining their hot streak in the tournament. Through this victory, they have tightened their grip in the upper portion of the points table. This loss for Lucknow Super Giants was their sixth in 11 games and still has much work to do throughout the course of the tournament.
Overall, it was an exciting game in which Punjab Kings excelled both with the bat and the ball. Prabhsimran Singh's aggressive batting and Arshdeep Singh's scintillating bowling performance were the showstoppers of the match.
