IPL 2022, SRH VS LSG: Giants overshadow the Sun-rise

SRH vs LSG at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai saw Lucknow Super Giants winning the second consecutive match in the tournament to rise in the rankings.

KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda stitched an important partnership for the 4th wicket and propelled Super Giants to 169 to ultimately secure a victory against Sunrisers.

SRH’s batting unit once again disappointed with a pretty ordinary outing and looks short of a binding player that keeps the innings together.

At the toss:

Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first and revealed that SRH had made no changes to its playing XI. KR Rahul unveiled that LSG has brought in Jason Holder in place of Dushmantha Chameera.

LSG Innings:

Batting first, Lucknow suffered a few setbacks initially, with Quinton de Kock, Evin Lewis and Manish Pandey departing under the powerplay. Washington Sundar bowled well to remove de Kock and Lewis, while Romario Shepherd sent back Pandey into the dressing room.

Hooda and Rahul in SRH vs LSG clash

At 27-3, Lucknow required a partnership to gain momentum. Deepak Hooda and Rahul formed a match-defining stand of 87 runs for the 4th wicket. Hooda’s 51 off 33 became the engine for LSG innings. He kept the run rate decent and, with KL Rahul, set a launching platform for his team.

However, after Hooda’s departure, SRH managed to curb the scoring rate, and Rahul found himself unable to score freely. T Natrajan ended Rahul’s stay at the crease to put LSG on the backfoot. Rahul made 68 off 50, including 6 fours and a six. 

Ayush Badoni, the young sensation, was unfortunately found short on his crease by Romario Shepherd to further add to the list of problems for LSG. In the end, Lucknow could manage 169/7 in 20 overs at SRH vs LSG clash.

SRH Innings:

SRH openers once again disappointed with their dismal batting display at the top. Abhishek Sharma only scored 13 off 11, while Kane Williamson managed a run-a-ball 16. Avesh Khan sent back both openers to put LSG ahead in SRH vs LSG clash.

Rahul Tripathi batted at 3rd and controlled the chase throughout his stay at the crease. He scored 44 off 30, including 5 fours and a six. Aiden Markram failed to impress against LSG in his sluggish inning of 12 off 14. Krunal Pandya dismissed Tripathi and Markram to break the back of SRH’s chase.

Nicholas Pooran looked set to win the match for SRH, but Avesh Khan removed him to deny SRH any chance of winning the game. Pooran made 34 off 24, including 3 fours and 2 sixes. Ultimately SRH fell short by 12 runs and scored 157/9 in its 20 overs. Avesh Khan took 4 wickets, while Jason Holder accounted for 3 SRH batters.
