LSG Scores 2nd Highest Total Ever Of IPL Against PBKS.

Lucknow got off to an explosive start thanks to Kyle Mayers’ half-century off just 20 balls, followed by Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni, and Nicholas Pooran who continued the momentum. In the match against Punjab Kings, Lucknow’s captain Shikhar Dhawan, who has returned from injury, won the toss and elected to bowl first. Mayers’ innings came to an end when Kagiso Rabada dismissed him on 54 off 24 balls, but the assault on the opposition bowlers continued. Badoni and Stoinis formed a 50-run partnership in just 26 balls, with Badoni falling on 43 off 24. Pooran then came in and immediately hit three fours off the first three balls he faced. Lucknow reached the 200-run mark in just 16 overs, and there was a possibility of them surpassing the highest ever score by a team in the IPL. However, Stoinis fell on 72 off 40, and Pooran was dismissed in the last over for 45 off 19. In the end, Lucknow set a target of 257/5 in 20 overs, which is the second-highest score in IPL history.
