Lucknow Super Giants go head to head against Punjab Kings in the 21st match of the Indian Premier League at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on 15th April, Saturday at 7:30 PM IST.
Lucknow Super Giants were part of a thriller in the last game. Super Giants were down and out at one stage during the run chase. It was Nicholas Pooran who turned on the heat on Bangalore. Pooran scored a blistering 62 off just 19 balls. With Pooran, it was Marcus Stoinis who kept clearing the boundaries at ease as he scored a brilliant 65 off just 30 balls. It was a high drama in the end as Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi of the last ball stole a bye somehow to seal the game.
Punjab Kings on the other hand were ordinary against Gujarat Titans in their last game. Shikhar Dhawan got out cheaply and that meant the rest of the batting order needed to step up. Matthew Short top scored with 36 as Punjab ended at 153 which was way below par than where they actually wanted to be. Titans cruised through to a 6 wicket win of the last over as Punjab suffered another defeat in the tournament.
