Omarzai almost has Head in the third over! Luck favours the Aussie batter!

Head almost chopped the second ball of the third over back onto his stumps. However, luck favoured him as he got a single. Poor fielding from Mohit Sharma gives Mayank Agarwal his first boundary.

POTM Mayank Yadav said:

"Never thought it would be such a good debut. Was nervous before the match. Tried to stick to my pace and aim at the stumps. Was thinking about using slower ones initially, but stuck to the quick ones. First wicket (Bairstow) was special. It's good to debut at such a young age. Had a few goals, but can't help if injuries come in the way," Yadav said.

Winning skipper Nicholas Pooran said:

"Wonderful start, nice to win in front of the home crowd. We had conversations, spoke about getting good starts. Spoke about getting the right combinations. It was a good total. It's a big venue, one side is big, one side short. It's about getting wickets and getting boundaries. It's only going to get challenging. Shikhar and Bairstow played well. They didn't take the game away from us as we got wickets at the right time. That was an inspiring performance, he (Mayank Yadav) is a young guy. He showed the entire world how good he is. He is not only fast, but is accurate. It's the beauty of the IPL, gives the local players to perform. Wonderful platform. Every game is an opportunity, expect them to get better. The groundsmen have contributed, as a batsman you can't ask for anything more," Pooran said.

LSG bowling coach Morne Morkel said:

"Very happy with the win, first point on the board, it's a nice feeling. Bowlers took it on a good wicket. They had a good start but the bowlers were brilliant to stay in the game. Young Mayank Yadav bowled with serious heat and got wickets. Very happy for him. He got injured in the first warm up game last season and got ruled out so had to manage him better this time. He bowled 155 tonight and made life uncomfortable. He ran in and that was the pleasing thing for all of us. It was a good wicket and for him to stick to that hard length - that's his strength - in this humidity in your first game in front of a big crowd, credit to him. Happy with 2 points tonight," Morkel said.

Losing skipper Shikhar Dhawan said:

"They played well, pity that Livi (Livingstone) got injured, that hurt us, he would have come at 4. We started off well, but Mayank bowled well with his pace. It was nice facing him, I was surprised at his pace, but I wanted to use his pace against him, but he bowled the bouncers and the yorkers well. I was quite mindful, asked the batters to use the short side and use his pace, but he bowled into his body (on Bairstow's dismissal) and got him OUT, I said the same to Jitesh as well. But Mohsin bowled really well, he kept a good length and suffocated us. We will have to analyse these defeats, the drop catch did cost us some momentum. That's something we'll have to improve going forward," Dhawan said.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up to play their second game in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as they host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 11th match on March 30, Saturday, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

Lucknow Super Giants suffered a defeat in their season opener against Rajasthan Royals, falling short by 20 runs despite spirited performances from Nicholas Pooran and captain KL Rahul. In contrast, Punjab Kings started well with a victory over Delhi Capitals but faced a comprehensive loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru at their home ground, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Both teams will be eager for a win in this upcoming match, having come off defeats in their respective previous games. On paper, both sides appear evenly matched, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter in the ongoing mega event. Still, LSG's batting appears stronger on paper compared to Punjab Kings, but Punjab's bowling seems more threatening simultaneously. Fans can anticipate an exciting thriller as both teams bring their strengths to the field, promising an engaging contest.

Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is renowned for favouring bowlers, with batting becoming increasingly challenging as matches progress, as seen during the previous season. However, with this being the first match of the season on this track, a better batting surface can be expected. Teams are likely to prioritize winning the toss and opting to bat first. Spinners are set to be crucial in the game as usual. Batting first, teams would be looking to score at least more than 170 to give a challenging target to the opposition.

Weather Report of Lucknow:

Weather conditions are expected to be pleasant during the match, with no possibility of rain. Fans can anticipate an uninterrupted contest as they cheer on their favourite stars to help their teams establish a strong position in the early stages of the tournament.
