IPL Match Summary (KKR vs RR, PBKS vs LSG)
Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly put up an utterly destructive 182-run stand off just 82 balls for the second wicket and that turned out to the difference as Punjab Kings beat the Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs. PBKS are hence now unbeaten after six games and have cemented themselves at the top of the table. LSG, meanwile, continue to search for answers to the puzzle posed by their star-studded batting lineup that is simply not firing.
Earlier, Rinku Singh led the way with an unbeaten 53 in 34 balls as he powered the Kolkata Knight Riders to their first win of the season after six matches without a victory. KKR beat Rajasthan Royals by four wickets in a match that swung one way to another multiple times before finally settling in favour of the hosts. KKR looked very close to suffering a sixth defeat of the season when they had been reduced to a score of 85/6 in the 14th over.
