Sikandar Raza became the first Zimbabwe player to slam an IPL fifty after an impressive show by his side's bowling unit as Punjab Kings beat Lucknow Super Giants by two wickets in a last-over finish. Put in to bat, captain KL Rahul smashed his first fifty of this IPL 2023 season but Punjab bowlers roared back with timely wickets to restrict LSG to a modest 159 for eight. Chasing 160 for a win, Zimbabwean all-rounder, who also picked a wicket with his spin bowling, cracked a 41-ball 57 to keep PBKS in the hunt after Matthew Short's 22-ball 34. Once he was dismissed in the 18th over off Ravi Bishnoi, Shahrukh Khan (23 not out) completed the job, knocking off the final runs with a boundary. Raza hit four boundaries and three sixes in his match-winning knock.
