🏏 Matt Short vs Liam Livingstone - IPL Careers Overview

Matt Short IPL 2023 Review: Punjab Kings’ Power-Packed Top-Order Asset Australian opener Matt Short burst onto the IPL stage in 2023 with Punjab Kings, turning just 92 balls into 117 runs at a fiery strike rate of 127. Across six innings the right-hander peppered boundaries with 15 fours and four sixes, never letting the run-rate drop below a run-a-ball. His season-best 36 showcased the fearless approach that has made him a sought-after T20 specialist, and his 127 SR ranks among the highest for any debutant facing 90-plus deliveries last year. While primarily deployed as a pinch-hitting batsman, Short also rolled his arm over in three matches, conceding only 25 runs from four tight overs (economy 6.25) and keeping opposition batters guessing with subtle changes of pace. Although he is yet to claim his first IPL wicket, the control he offers gives Punjab Kings an extra bowling option on sluggish Indian tracks. With one season, one franchise and a growing reputation for quick runs, Matt Short has already stamped his identity as a 360-degree match-winner in the making. Expect bigger scores and more fireworks from the Punjab Kings opener when IPL 2024 rolls around.


Liam Livingstone has become one of the most feared power-hitters in IPL cricket, his six-year journey underlining explosive match-winning ability. Across 47 innings the Englishman has smashed 1 051 runs at a jaw-dropping strike-rate of 158, translating to almost 1.6 runs per ball. A staggering 75 sixes accompany 70 fours, proving he can clear ropes or pierce gaps with equal disdain. Seven half-centuries peak at an unbeaten 94, showing he can anchor as well as assault. Equally telling is his versatility across franchises: Livingstone has turned out for Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and now Royal Challengers Bengaluru, adapting instantly to new dressing rooms and still producing fireworks. While primarily a batting juggernaut, his off-spin has quietly claimed 13 wickets in 27 appearances, including a three-wicket burst that highlights his utility as a sixth bowler. In 2025, donning RCB colours at M Chinnaswamy, Livingstone’s 360-degree range promises more belligerent knocks and soaring six counts. Fantasy managers and fans alike label him a must-pick for his boundary clearance skills and ability to tilt games in a blink.
