Mankad hit seven fours and two sixes, while Stoinis and Pooran too showed their might with some clean and calculated hitting. 3 is a big responsibility and the 29-year-old Saurashtra player took time to settle down, getting to 30 off 26 balls.īut Mankad, along with Stoinis and Pooran, were dominant when it mattered most to get the job done. Mankad had played just two IPL games before this – the first last year and the second in LSG’s previous game against GT, where he didn’t get to face a ball. It was only when LSG were 75/2, needing 108 to win off 48 balls, that they cut loose and stormed to the finish line. Quinton de Kock, too, couldn’t kick-on and fell for a 19-ball 29. Opener Kyle Mayers looked out of sorts and was out for two runs off 14 balls as the visitors crawled to 20/1 off five overs. In reply, LSG seemed to be struggling at one stage but turned things around in style to win with four balls to spare, led by Mankad (64* off 45b), Marcus Stoinis (40 off 25b) and Nicolas Pooran (44* off 13). Opting to bat, Sunrisers finished with 182/6 thanks to quick-fire knocks from Heinrich Klaasen (47 off 29b) and Abdul Samad (37* off 25b) after opener Anmolpreet Singh’s 36 (27b).
