Lucknow Super Giants humbled Kolkata Knight Riders by 75 runs at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Saturday night. Quinton de Kock's 50 off 29 and Deepak Hooda's 41 off 27 provided LSG a solid platform after KKR captain Shreyas opted to field first. The IPL newbies faltered at the middle but put up a good performance in slog overs, thanks to Marcus Stoinis' 28 off 14 that included a hat-trick of sixes to Shivam Mavi, to post 176/7. Mavi got hit for five sixes in the penultimate over as new batsman Jason Holder also hit him for two sixes after Stoinis' carnage. In return, LSG kept KKR under the pump from the word go. The two-time champions were 25/4 after 6.5 overs when Andre Russell stepped in and brought them back in the game. His 19-ball 45 did send some shiver down the spine of LSG bowlers, but once Avesh Khan got him there was no looking back for the KL Rahul-led side. Avesh returned figures of 3/19 while Jason Holder complemented him with 3/31. The win took LSG to the top of table with 16 points, while Gujarat Titans slipped at the number two spot, having equal points but a weaker net run rate. Get LSG vs KKR highlights.
