The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) posted a daunting total of 214/6 in the first innings of their IPL 2024 match against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday, May 17. The Wankhede Stadium is playing host to this encounter.
MI captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first. They rested their bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah for this game. LSG opener Devdutt Padikkal's horror run in IPL 2024 continued as he got out for a golden duck in the very first over. KL Rahul then steadied the ship until the halfway stage in the company of Marcus Stoinis (28) and Deepak Hooda (11), who departed after getting decent starts.
Nicholas Pooran entered the crease in the 10th over and changed the complexion of the innings with an aggressive half-century. He put on a 109-run partnership with KL Rahul to set up a platform for LSG to score a huge total. Ayush Badoni (22*) and Krunal Pandya (12*) finished the innings well to take the Super Giants to 214.
