The Lucknow Super Giants were off to a flyer, courtesy of a blistering opening stand between Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Marsh smashed 60 runs, while Markram chipped in with 53. However, Rishabh Pant’s struggles continued, as he managed a mere 2 runs.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians’ captain Hardik Pandya wreaked havoc on the LSG batsmen, claiming 5 wickets. The Mumbai bowlers were on fire in the death overs, a trend they’ve maintained from their previous outing against the Gujarat Titans. At one point, it seemed like they’d restrict LSG to under 200, but David Miller’s late surge, which included a four and a six, pushed them past the mark.
Despite the late flourish, Hardik’s bowling proved too much for the LSG batsmen. The innings also saw the failure of key batsmen, including Pant and Nicholas Pooran, who couldn’t quite get going.
