Lucknow Super Giants secured a 33-run win over Gujarat Titans in the 21st match of the Indian Premier League 2024 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
After winning the toss, LSG elected to bat. Quinton de Kock, the previous match hero, was quick to depart for only six runs. A few balls later, Devdutt Padikkal also followed the queue, scoring only seven runs.
However, KL Rahul (33) and Marcus Stoinis (58) forged an important 73-run stand for the third wicket to keep their side in a good position. Nicholas Pooran (32*) and Ayush Badoni (20) also played a crucial role in taking the team's total to 163/5 in 20 overs.
Umesh Yadav and Darshan Nalkande scalped two wickets apiece for Gujarat Titans while Rashid Khan picked up a wicket.
The chase turned out to be a snooze fest after Sai Sudharsan (31) and Shubman Gill (19) were back in the pavilion.
The next best scorer was Rahul Tewatia (30) as Yash Thakur was the wrecker-in-chief with a brilliant five-wicket haul while Krunal Pandya picked up a match-turning three-fer.
