Pooran’s fireworks power LSG innings

Pant and middle order fail to capitalise
Rishabh Pant failed again and got out for just 15. He had an early lifeline but could not convert it. Himmat Singh remained unbeaten on 40, while Aiden Markram scored 31. However, their efforts were not enough to push LSG to a bigger total.

He also took on Mohammed Shami, pulling short balls and smashing full deliveries for boundaries. Once settled, Rohit controlled the chase with confidence before getting out in the 14th over.
