LSG vs PBKS live streaming: Where to watch today's IPL 2026 match?

Lucknow Super Giants posted a competitive 196/6 in their IPL 2026 clash against Punjab Kings at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, thanks largely to a fluent half-century from Josh Inglis and useful middle-order contributions from Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad. Punjab Kings now need 197 runs in 20 overs to keep their playoff hopes alive.

 

Inglis gives LSG a rapid start

 

After being put in to bat, LSG got off to an aggressive start with Josh Inglis taking the attack to Arshdeep Singh, smashing 16 runs in the opening over. However, Punjab struck back immediately as Azmat Omarzai removed Arshin Kulkarni for a duck on the first ball of the second over.

 

 

LSG suffered another setback in the third over when Marco Jansen dismissed Nicholas Pooran cheaply for 2, leaving the hosts under early pressure.

 

Badoni counterattacks after early wickets

 

Ayush Badoni joined Inglis in the middle and the duo quickly shifted momentum with an aggressive counterattack. Their strokeplay helped LSG recover strongly as they reached 66/2 at the end of the powerplay.

 

Badoni looked in excellent touch, scoring 43 off just 18 balls before Yuzvendra Chahal broke the 49-run partnership shortly after the field restrictions ended.

 

Inglis anchors innings with crucial fifty

 

Despite wickets falling around him, Inglis continued to dominate and brought up his third fifty of the season in only 28 balls. He then stitched together another important stand with captain Rishabh Pant, stabilising the innings and keeping the scoring rate healthy.

 

Pant contributed 26 off 22 balls before Chahal struck again to break the 65-run fourth-wicket partnership.

 

Samad’s late cameo lifts LSG near 200

 

Inglis’ strong knock ended on 72 off 44 balls after he was dismissed by Shashank Singh, but by then he had already laid the platform for a strong finish.

 

Mukul Choudhary managed only 1 before falling to Marco Jansen, but Abdul Samad provided the late flourish with an unbeaten 37 off 20 balls. Arjun Tendulkar stayed till the end with 5 not out as the pair added an unbroken 24-run stand to take LSG to 196/6.

The coin flip of the match went in PBKS' way who opted to bowl first.

 

Captain's take after toss:

 

Rishabh Pant (LSG): We would have bowled first as well. This wicket is good for cricket regardless of bowling or batting. This is one of the better batting wicket, it could be a high scoring match. Two changes - Arjun and Arshin Kulkarni are in. It's been a tough season, but at the same time, there has been a lot of learning, both for the team and personally. II'd say sorry for the fans, they have come from all over UP. It's been tough going for us, but we'll give our 100% today.

 

Shreyas Iyer (PBKS): We will bowl first. Two changes - Marco and Vyshak are in. Feeling is exciting, I would say it's a do match for us. We have never been in this situation before and the boys are waiting to do their best.
