9.20 pm So LSG fall six runs short of equaling the highest ever IPL total made a decade ago but it's still plenty good to be the highest total of the season. More than a third of their deliveries were struck to the boundary or over it. On the flip side, Punjab's fielding was listless and the mental lapses came several times during the innings with a wicket caught while stepping on the boundary turning into a six, not to mention four no balls. It will take something magical for Punjab to chase this down, but you never know... Stay with us for the start of the chase beginning shortly. ESPNcricinfo win predictor is showing Punjab Kings at 1.62% at the innings break. So there's still a chance...
LSG batter Ayush Badoni: "I was feeling really good. I was waiting for this opportunity for so long and today I got this opportunity so I'm really happy that I could contribute. When I went in, the wicket was really good and I could bat for long. I was just told to play your shots and put away the poor balls. We were not thinking too much about a record total, but just put away the bad balls and play according to the ball. The instruction was to put away the bad balls and play according to the ball and nothing else. My mindset was very blank."
Krunal walks out with two sixes needed to equal the highest ever IPL score.
