Marcus Stoinis said he was happy to contribute in any way possible for Lucknow Super Giants after scoring 72 at number four to propel them to the second-highest total in Indian Premier League history in their 56-run win over Punjab Kings.
Marcus Stoinis and Kyle Mayers put on a power-hitting masterclass as Lucknow Super Giants slayed Punjab Kings by 56 runs in a high-scoring contest on Friday after amassing the second highest total in IPL history. A display of brutal hitting from Mayers (54 off 24) and Stoinis (72 off 40) fired Lucknow Super Giants to 257 for five against a profligate Punjab Kings. Needing almost 13 runs per over to pull off an improbable chase, Punjab remained behind in the game despite scoring at a decent rate to end with 201 in 19.5 overs.
A display of brutal hitting from Kyle Mayers and Marcus Stoinis fired Lucknow Super Giants to 257 for five, the second highest total in IPL history, against a profligate Punjab Kings in the IPL on Friday. Mayers (54 off 24) went on the rampage in the Powerplay before Stoinis (72 off 40) effortlessly collected boundaries at will to help his team set a massive target. The other important contributions came from Ayush Badoni (43 off 24) and Nicholas Pooran (45 off 19). Back to lead Punjab after three games, Shikhar Dhawan opted to field but his bowlers were all over the place on a belter of a track. Barring Rahul Chahar, all the other six bowlers leaked more than 10 runs per over. The usually frugal Arshdeep Singh leaked 54 runs in four overs and Kagiso Rabada gave away 52 runs in four overs although he had two wickets to show for his efforts.
KL Rahul was not able to score big as he was dismissed for 12 off 8 deliveries during Lucknow Super Giants' encounter against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Friday. Rahul gave a chance on the very first ball of the match but Sikandar Raza was not able to complete the catch off the bowling of debutant Gurnoor Brar. It looked like the dropped chance will come to haunt PBKS as Rahul slammed a four and a six to make his intent clear. However, his stay was cut short by Kagiso Rabada as he miscued a shot completely and this time, Shahrukh Khan made no mistake at short third-man.
Lucknow Super Giants take on Punjab Kings in a crucial mid table clash in the Indian Premier League on Friday. Midway through the season, both teams have won four games from a possible seven, with LSG ahead due to a superior net run-rate. However, LSG suffered a defeat in their previous outing, losing to Gujarat Titans, following an inexplicable batting performance. Having said that, LSG could possibly make a few rotations in their playing XI, with Quinton de Kock most likely to play his first game of the season.
Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma produced one of the best death-bowling performances in T20 cricket, as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul's half-century went in vain with Gujarat Titans (GT) clinching a seven-run win over the hosts in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Lucknow. Chasing 136 runs, KL Rahul started off by playing another maiden over. But he went on a rampage from the third over, smashing Mohammed Shami for three successive fours and Rashid Khan for two straight boundaries in the fifth over. Kyle Mayers was the anchor on the other end, with KL acting as an accelerator. LSG crossed the 50-run mark in 5.3 overs.
After defeating Rajasthan Royals by 10 runs, Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Gujarat Titans in their upcoming IPL 2023 match on Saturday, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. The KL Rahul-led side introduced Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul Haq into the attack and the debutant impressed everyone with the figures of 0/19 in 4 overs. Naveen was played in the place of star pacer Mark Wood and the management is likely to go ahead with the same line-up against the defending champions.
Gujarat Titans would look to shrug off the defeat in the previous outing and get their mojo back when they clash with Lucknow Super Giants, who will be eager to keep the winning momentum going in IPL here Saturday. While the Titans will look to start afresh after the three-wicket loss to the Rajasthan Royals, LSG got a confidence-boosting 10-run win against the Sanju Samson-led side to climb to the second spot in the points table. Both teams have been a tad inconsistent this season, losing two games each although the Titans have played a match less than LSG. The Titans, who are fourth in the league table, have struggled to defend totals this season.
