IPL 2024: Badoni-Pooran Record Highest Fifth Wicket Partnership Of 99 Runs To Propel LSG To 165 For 4

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium: Ayush Badoni smashed 28 ball half-century as Nicholas Pooran's 26 deliveries 48 as the duo recorded the highest fifth wicket partnership of 99 runs which propelled Lucknow Super Giants to 165 for 4 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

Lucknow went off to a shaking start as Quinton de Kock was sent back by Bhuvneshwar Kumar courtesy of a flying catch by Nitish Kumar Reddy at deep square leg for a five-ball two runs. Reddy made the catch look easy as he lobbed the ball back in when stepping over and came back in to claim it. Kumar struck again to dismiss dangerous Marcus Stoinis (3) as Sanvir Singh took a low catch diving forward at mid-on.

LSG scored 27 runs in the Power Play--their slowest before this was 45. Debutant Vijayakanth Viyaskanth came for his first over and hit some perfect areas and gave only three in his first. First impressions of a leggie quick through the air, didn’t turn any of the balls big, but showed his variations: the wrong'un, the front-of-the-hand ball.
