A terrific final over by Arshdeep. Good total for LSG. They’ve managed to recover from a disastrous start, thanks to good knocks by Pooran, Badoni and Samad. It is definitely a total that they can fight with on a ground like Ekana. Punjab Kings will fancy their chances, though!

20:13 (IST)
IPL 2025 LIVE: Pooran run-a-ball!
