Chasing a low score, Lucknow Super Giants took their sweet time chasing the score. KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya played key slow knocks which eventually led to their win. Krunal Pandya was the star of the match with his all-around performance. He knocked 34 off 23 and took 3 for 18.
LSG has climbed to the top of the table with 4 points from 3 games. The Super Giants have a positive net run rate of 1.538. SRH, on the other hand, has sunk to the bottom. The 2016 champions have played miserably in both games and deserved nothing but a scintillating loss. They have won just once in the last nine games. Also, They have failed to qualify for the Playoffs in the last two seasons.
The Sunrisers will have to reassess their whole game before they head to their home to play Punjab Kings On Sunday. Meanwhile, Lucknow will play the Challengers who are looking for redemption at Chinnaswamy.
