PBKS vs LSG: The lifeline of Marcus Stoinis became the turning point of the match
The bowlers of Punjab Kings performed very embarrassingly in this match. On the very first ball of the match, Lucknow captain KL Rahul was bowled by fast bowler Gurnoor Brar to a good length ball, and on this, Rahul hit a shot at backward point, but the fielder standing there dropped the catch. This is how Rahul got life.
At the same time, the real turning point in the match was the 13th over of the innings of Lucknow Super Giants, where Rahul Chahar bowled a flighted ball on the off-stump on the second ball, but Marcus Stoinis tried to hit this ball towards long-off and this ball was hit. During the fielding, Liam Livingstone took this catch.
But while taking the catch, his leg touched the boundary line and thus Marcus got a life. At this time he was batting on a score of 38 runs, but Stoinis took full advantage of this lifeline and played an inning of 72 runs in 40 balls in the match and contributed significantly to the team scoring beyond 200 runs.
