AHMEDABAD: In a match dominated by batters from both the sides, it needed a magical piece of fielding to separate the class from the ordinary. Just as the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) openers Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock were threatening to run away with the chase of 228, Rashid Khan the fielder intervened with a stupendous catch in the eighth over to dismiss Mayers for 48 (32b; 7x4, 2x6) off Mohit Sharma's bowling.
After the initial powerplay yielded 72 runs for the visitors, LSG were limited to 49 runs in the next eight overs, which derailed their chase. Eventually, the Super Giants fell short by 56 runs as the defending champions flexed their muscles with the bat, ball and on the field to consolidate their position at the top of the table with 16 points from 11 matches. LSG have 11 points from 11 matches.
