In an exciting encounter at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, the clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was nothing short of a dominant show from KKR as they registered a scintillating 98-run win to claim the top spot in the IPL 2024 points table.

Winning the toss, the Super Giants elected to bowl first, a decision they might rue as the Knight Riders posted a mammoth total of 235/6 in their 20 overs.

Sunil Narine was the standout performer with a blistering knock of 81 runs off just 39 deliveries, ably supported by Phil Salt, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, and others.

The Lucknow Super Giants’ bowling attack struggled to contain the onslaught, with only Naveen ul Haq managing to make a dent with figures of 3 wickets for 49 runs.

Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy shine with the ball

Chasing a daunting target of 236 runs, the Super Giants faltered under pressure and were bundled out for 137 runs in just 16.1 overs. Despite contributions from KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis, the hosts couldn’t match the required run rate.

Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy were the chief destroyers for Kolkata Knight Riders with three wickets each, while Mitchell Starc and Andre Russell also chipped in with crucial breakthroughs.
