🏏IPL 2023: Match 46 - PBKS vs MI on 03/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 39

Livingstone: It felt like a good pitch, playing spin was quite difficult. I tried to ensure that we do not lose wickets in clumps, it's a good score. It's a good pitch, so we will have to bowl well. It's nice to get going. I had lunch with Archer today and he said he was going to come after me. He (Archer) knows what I don't like. Playing spin was a bit harder, but I picked by bowlers pretty well today.

Punjab Kings

This duo today! #PBKSvMI

Bold: Opposite happened 😂😂

Aree baapre

I already lost points of most runs, extras and most probably of total runs too

PBKS have been pretty good this season. 👍🏼

119 unbeaten partnership off 53 balls between Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. Punjab Kings have given themselves every chance to sneak to second spot in the table with an absolute rollicking show with the bat. Up to their bowlers to try and defend this now. They were 78/2 at the end of 10 overs. Ended up scoring 136 off the last 10 overs. It all started off in the opening over of Akash Madhwal who conceded 16 that included a no-ball as well. Though Short got out in the next over to Chawla, the arrival of Jitesh was just the perfect dose of exuberance Livingstone was waiting for. Having faced just 2 balls, Jitesh took on Archer in the 13th over and squeezed 21 off the over to regain momentum for the home side and the whiplash never stopped. Livingstone belted Archer for a hat-trick of sixes in the penultimate over and the latter had to endure the record of bowling his most expensive spell in the IPL. The surface is a paradise for the batters. Can Mumbai hunt this down? Back in 10 for the reply...

Aaj PBKS jeet jaati hain toh 2nd per aa jaegi 😲

17 phek diye

How much you selected?

Ravi: "I feel they should have persisted with Arjun a little bit more. He showed a lot of promise - the initial overs were pretty tight and I thought he did a good job in the end too except that one over where he went for 30 odd runs."

9.25pm A few jokes and laughs as Punjab Kings get through their huddle. Rohit and Ishan walk out after a chat with Kieron Pollard.
