Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 37 runs in Dharamsala on Sunday to inch closer to their first IPL play-off in 11 years.
Prabhsimran Singh smashed a brilliant 48-ball 91 to power the Kings to a huge 236/5 before Arshdeep Singh wrecked havoc with the new ball to restrict LSG for 199/7.
With 15 points from 11 games, Punjab Kings now sit second on the table, just one win away from sealing a spot in the IPL 2025 play-offs.

Meanwhile, it was despair for LSG Owner Sanjiv Goenka as his team slumped to a fifth defeat of the season, leaving their play-off hopes hanging by a thread.
