IPL 2026 Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) LIVE Cricket Score and Match Updates: Captain Shreyas Iyer scored his maiden IPL century and powered Punjab Kings to a seven-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants. PBKS are thus still alive in the race for the playoffs but they will be knocked out if Rajasthan Royals beat Mumbai Indians on Sunday or Kolkata Knight Riders later win their match against Delhi Capitals by a big enough margin to overtake PBKS on NRR.

PBKS needed to chase down a target of 197 to stay in contention for a spot in the playoffs. They managed to keep a lid on the Lucknow Super Giants, with the latter mainly being buoyed by the brilliance of Josh Inglis. The Seven unbeaten games. Six winless matches thereafter. No high-flying team has endured such wavering patterns within a season quite like the Punjab Kings have this year. So much so that their Playoffs fate lies very much on the brink, rests on a prayer and a performance that will break them from a rut.
In the defeats that have come hitting hard one after the other, Punjab’s strengths have unravelled. The lack of a stable middle-order, skipper Shreyas Iyer’s indifferent run when faced with the early departures of the openers, and a fluctuating bowling cohort have all contributed to Punjab’s downfall.
