11 PM IST: We have come to the end our coverage for yet another IPL match. A thoroughly dominating performance from the Punjab Kings as they thumped Lucknow Super Giants on their home ground. They have a solid team this year and will be hoping to go all the way. The back to back wins will give them a lot of confidence going forward but LSG have a lot to ponder on. They have a serious batting line up but it's there bowling attack which is a matter of concern. They are lacking genuine match winners and hence the batters have to provide the bowlers with some cushion and score big almost everytime. Like always it was a pleasure bringing the live coverage from this encounter to our lovely viewers. The IPL carnival continues tomorrow with RCB set to host the Gujarat Titans. The Pakistan-New Zealand 3rd ODI also commences in a few hours time so a lot of cricketing action lined up for tomorrow. Up until the next time from our side, this is the pair of Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and Pradeep signing off. Goodnight fellas!
Prabhsimran Singh is the Player of the Match, here is what he had to say: Everyone knows Ricky is a legend, he always speaks positive. There is no if in his dictionary. He always asks to go out with a positive intent and try and win. Actually he has told us to back our game, the goal if one is set, he has to finish the match. I have practiced the switch hits quite a lot in the nets and luckily a few came off today. If some youngster gets a start then he should try and make it big as this is the platform where you can realise your dream of playing for India.
Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings captain): Absolutely this is the start we required and everyone implemented and played according to the plans we had in the meeting. See there is no right combination, the camaraderie and the synergy has to click. You need to have similar kind of mindset and go out with one goal of winning the match. I always try to be in the present. Today's knock as well is history for me, I will look forward to the next match.
Digvesh Singh gets the award for bowling most dot deliveries in the match.

Nehal Wadhera [Punjab Kings]: We needed this win, Shreyas bhai and everyone played well, bowled well. Prabhsimran started off well, set the tone for us. I didn't feel much nerves, I didn't even know I was playing today, brought just one kit and came to know later. I went out and thought about playing my shots, didn't wanted to try something out of the ordinary. I was trying to hit him, I didn't, the way Shreyas batted was remarkable. All credit goes him, boosting the confidence and that helps me play my game. When I came here, the experience I had gained in the last two years, I wanted to showcase here in Punjab team. Role is to finish the game, that's how I've been preparing myself in the last two months. Ponting is one of the best coaches going around, he just talks positive, when a coach gives remarks like that, it automatically helps you do well.
