In a thrilling encounter at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 22, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) got a dominant 33-run win over the Gujarat Titans (GT).
LSG unleashed a batting masterclass, posting a mammoth 235/2 in their 20 overs. Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh led the charge with a scintillating knock of 117 runs off just 64 balls, hammering 10 boundaries and 8 sixes. He was well supported by West Indies star Nicholas Pooran, who smashed 56 off 27 balls, including 4 fours and 5 sixes, keeping the GT bowlers under immense pressure throughout. Despite the onslaught, Gujarat's bowling unit had little success. Sai Kishore was the most effective, finishing with figures of 1/34 in his 3 overs.
Chasing 236, GT got off to a shaky start and lost wickets at regular intervals. However, Shahrukh Khan kept the fight alive with a blistering 57 off 29 balls, striking 5 boundaries and 3 sixes. Sherfane Rutherford also chipped in with a quick 38 off 22 balls, hitting 1 four and 3 sixes. Despite their efforts, GT could only manage 202/9 in their 20 overs. LSG pacer Will O’Rourke starred with the ball, claiming 3 wickets for just 27 runs in his full quota of 4 overs, breaking the back of GT’s chase.
