Chasing 183 LSG lost wickets at regular intervals and they were never in the chase. They lost half their side for 75 runs inside the first 10 overs. Poor running between the wickets which ends in three run outs also cost them the match.

Marcus Stoinis (40 runs from 27 balls) is the only batter bated well for Lucknow.
