Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) produced an impactful performance in their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium to register their ♔second win in the ongoing💮 Indian Premier League (IPL).
Krunal Pandya was the wrecker-in-chief for the Super Giants as he came up with an all-round show to earn his sideꦯ an impressive triumph in front of their home crowd.
Batting first, Sunrisers struggled to build any momentum and eventually ended their innings with a total of 121/8 in their 20 overs. Anmolpreet Singh top-scored for the 2016 champions with 31 runs off 26 de🍃liveries.
Krunal was the standout bowler for the Super Giants, with figures of 3/18 in his quota of four overs. He dismantled the SRH batting unit by taking wickets of Anmolpreet, Mayank Agarwal (8) and Sunrisers skipper Aiden Markram (0).
In response, LSG made a solid start to their innings, with captain KL Rahul and opener Kyle Mayers putting on 35 runs for the o🍌pening wicket on a challenging surface. They lost Rahul (35) and Mayers (13) inside the powerplay before Krunal stepped up and played a crucial knock of 34 runs off 23 deliveries to guide his team to victory with four overs to spare.

The pitch in Lucknow surely has some devils hidden for the spinners. Looks like SRH prepare for Mark Wood but𝄹 Krunal Pandya came out of course.
