In a thrilling match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on April 8, the Lucknow Super Giants outshone the Kolkata Knight Riders, securing a 4 run victory. The Giants' impressive performance was fueled by exceptional batting from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran.
Marsh and Pooran's partnership proved pivotal, with Marsh scoring 81 runs off 48 balls and Pooran notching an unbeaten 87. Their aggressive batting style put immense pressure on the KKR bowlers, ultimately contributing to the team's total of 238/3 in 20 overs. Harshit Rana was the most effective KKR bowler, taking 2 wickets for 51 runs.
In response, KKR's batting lineup faltered, managing only 234/7 in 20 overs. Despite a strong start from Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine, the team couldn't maintain the required run rate.
