IPL 2025: Bowlers Hold Nerve To Guide LSG To First Home Win Edging MI By 12 Runs
BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Led by Digvesh Rathi, Shardul Thakur and Avesh Khan taking a wicket each, the Lucknow Super Giants bowlers’ held their nerve to register their first home win of IPL 2025 after edging Mumbai Indians by 12 runs at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday
When openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram smashed fifties while David Miller applied finishing touches with a late cameo as the trio carried LSG to 203/8, it always gave the look of an uphill chase for MI. Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir hit 67 and 46 respectively to keep MI in the hunt.
But with Suryakumar falling in the 17th over and Tilak Varma enduring a horror time with the bat, it meant that LSG’s bowlers were able to keep things under control, especially sticking to the wide-ball plan in the death overs, to help the side get their sixth win over a formidable MI outfit in the IPL.
