MUMBAI: Nicholas Pooran likes to swing his bat, as hard as he can, from the first ball. Sometimes that high-risk approach comes off in spectacular fashion. Friday was one of those days for the West Indies left-hander as he slayed the Mumbai Indians bowlers during his knock of 75 from 29 balls — laced with five fours and eight sixes — which helped Lucknow Super Giants post 214/6.
In reply, Mumbai went close but were stopped in their tracks at 190/6 as Hardik Pandya’s men capped off a forgettable season with yet another defeat. Rohit Sharma stood tall with a 38-ball 68 as the rest of the batting lineup floundered around him.
