It was a clash between two IPL debutant teams—Gujarat Titans (GT) versus Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Considering the dew factor would play a major role in the latter half of the game, GT captain Hardik Pandya put LSG in to bat and KL Rahul & Co managed to post 158-6 after an early collapse. Though GT’s India pacer Mohammed Shami (3-25) did some damage, Deepak Hooda (55 off 41 balls, 6x4, 2x6) and young Ayush Badoni (54 off 41 balls 4x4, 3x6) rescued Lucknow to set a decent total.
Hardik scores
At the time of going to press, Gujarat Titans were 46-2, after seven overs with Hardik Pandya not out on 20 and Matthew Wade unbeaten on 15, needing another 113 to win off 13 overs. Earlier, Gujarat bowlers enjoyed a great start as India pacer Shami (3-25) sent back LSG opener Rahul (0) off the very first ball of the game. Rahul’s attempt to play a defensive shot off a fuller length delivery failed and he edged it to wicketkeeper Mathew Wade. Shami did the trick again in his second over when he disturbed opener Quinton de Kock’s (7) furniture as the ball went through the left-hander’s bat and pad. Shami didn’t disappoint his skipper in his third and the innings’ fifth over too as Manish Pandey (6) had no answer and was clean bowled. Like De Kock, one-drop Evin Lewis (10 off nine balls) also had a good amount of experience of the Wankhede track as both represented Mumbai Indians earlier.
