After being put in to bat first, Kyle Mayers once again gave LSG a flying start. He took the attack to the PBKS bowlers and raced his way to a 20-ball 50. With his 54-run knock, Mayers set the perfect platform for the other LSG batters to pile up, on the true surface of Mohali.

Promoted to number three, Ayush Badoni took his chance with both hands as he kept attacking the opposition bowlers and scored 43 off 24 balls. Next was Marcus Stoinis, who tormented and put the PBKS under the pump with his hard-hitting strokeplay.

The Australian all-rounder clobbered six boundaries and five lusty maximums during his knock of 72. Nicholas Pooran provided the finishing touches with his breathtaking knock of 45 from 19 balls. This led LSG to amass a total of 257/5 in their allotted 20 overs, the second-highest score in IPL history.

For PBKS to have any chance of winning the match, something miraculous was required. Additionally, the hosts' wobbly start cost them as they lost Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh within the first four overs.

Atharva Taide, however, held the fort and looked decent during his entertaining knock of 66 from 36 balls. The other batters, unfortunately, succumbed to the enormous pressure and LSG restricted PBKS to 201/10.

While all four - Sikander Raza (36), Liam Livingstone (23), Sam Curran (21), and Jitesh Sharma (24) got decent starts, they couldn't convert it to anything serious.

LSG beat PBKS by 56 runs [IPLT20]

Courtesy of Lucknow's batting masterclass, it was a record-breaking night in the IPL 2023. Here's a list of some interesting stats to emerge from this recently-concluded match:

1. IPL 2023 has been high-scoring, to say the least. In fact, the ongoing tournament has already seen 20 team totals of 200 or more, the most number of 200+ scores in any IPL season ever. The IPL 2022 saw 18 scores of 200 or more, which is now the second-most.
2. LSG's score of 257/5 against PBKS is now the highest-ever team total without any player scoring 75+ runs in a T20 innings. The previous highest was by Jamaica Tallawahs, who scored 255/5 against St. Lucia Kings during CPL 2021.
3. LSG's 257/5 is now also the second-highest IPL team total after Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) 263/5 against the now-defunct Pune Warriors India (PWI). LSG surpassed RCB's 248/3 (vs Gujarat Lions) on the tally.
