Pooran Powers LSG to Farewell Win Despite Playoff Miss

Pooran Powers LSG to Farewell Win Despite Playoff Miss

Nicholas Pooran's explosive knock (75 off 29 balls with 8 sixes) propelled Lucknow Super Giants to a consolation victory against Mumbai Indians in their final IPL 2024 match.

Despite the win, LSG couldn't qualify for the playoffs due to other results. Mumbai, already out of contention, finished at the bottom of the table.

Pooran's Middle-Overs Blitz Makes the Difference

While both teams had decent starts with Rohit Sharma scoring a half-century for MI, Pooran's fireworks in the middle overs put LSG in a commanding position. He smashed bowlers around the park, taking full advantage of the middle phase.

MI Falter Despite Dhir's Late Heroics

Mumbai lost key wickets in quick succession after a good start, thanks to some tight bowling by LSG. Naman Dhir tried his best with a late 62* (including 5 sixes), but it wasn't enough to chase down the target set by LSG.
