A lot of importance is given to match-winners in the T20 format, and understandably so. But time and again, it’s team effort that pulls a side out of a tricky situation, and Punjab Kings proved this against the Lucknow Super Giants during Friday’s IPL-15 match at the MCA stadium here.
Rabada takes four
Put in to bat first, LSG were cruising at 98-1 at one stage, with the run-rate just under eight on a slow wicket. But Punjab took five wickets for just 11 runs in the next 13 balls to completely derail their opponents. As a result, Lucknow managed 153-8, much lesser than what they threatened earlier. Kagiso Rabada was Punjab’s wrecker-in-chief with figures of 4-38.
