Chasing 183 to qualify for Qualifier 2, LSG got off to a dismal start and were reduced to 23-2 before Krunal Pandya and Marcus Stoinis made 46 for the third wicket. However, the skipper’s dismissal in the ninth over started a collapse, with uncapped fast bowler Madhwal causing most of the damage in the space of two deliveries.
He first dismissed Ayush Badoni on the fourth ball of the tenth over, bowling him with a length delivery, before proceeding to get Pooran next up. Bowling round the wicket, he sent down a fuller delivery, which the batter tried to push away. However, he only managed a thick outside edge to the keeper, as LSG crumbled from 69-2 to 74-5 within nine balls.
