The home jinx continued to haunt Sunrisers Hyderabad as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) raced away to a seven-wicket victory at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Saturday. The home team succumbed to their seventh defeat and their slim hopes for a Playoffs place evaporated even as LSG boosted their chances with their sixth win.
The architect of LSG’s win was Prerak Mankad (64 not out; 45 balls, 7x4, 2x6) and aggressive left-hander Nicholas Pooran (44 not out, 13 balls, 3x4, 4x6) who silenced the home crowd by blitzing their way to 23-ball 58 run-stand to dash SRH’s hopes.
