In a thrilling display of power-hitting and precision batting, the Lucknow Super Giants posted a daunting total of 235/2 in their 20 overs against a hapless bowling attack. Mitchell Marsh was the star of the innings, hammering an explosive 117 off just 64 deliveries, studded with 10 fours and 8 massive sixes. His brutal onslaught formed the backbone of Lucknow’s innings, especially after an aggressive start by Aiden Markram, who chipped in with a quickfire 36 from 24 balls.

Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant provided a blistering finish, remaining unbeaten on 56 (27 balls) and 16 (6 balls) respectively, accelerating the scoring rate in the final overs. The bowlers had a day to forget, with all six conceding runs at an economy of over 9. Rashid Khan, shockingly, was the most expensive, going for 36 in his 2 overs.

Despite a couple of wickets, the bowling unit was unable to stem the flow of runs. With a towering target of 236, the chasing team will need a record-breaking effort to pull off a win in this high-octane encounter.
