LSG 61/3 (9)
April01202520:13 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Pooran run-a-ball!

Marcus Stoinis is brought into the attack by Shreyas Iyer, and delivers a solid ninth over. Concedes just three runs, as LSG continue to struggle with the run-rate. Remember, Ekana is a bowling-friendly pitch, so a total of 160 would be a good one.

LSG 39/3 (6)
April01202519:57 (IST)
LSG vs PBKS LIVE: PANT IS GONE!

April01202519:53 (IST)

LSG 11/1 (2.1)
April01202519:40 (IST)
