In-form star batters slam quickfire half-centuries to help the Super Giants beat league leaders Gujarat

- TRIDIB BAPARNASH

Continuing his prolific form in IPL 2025, Nicholas Pooran struck a fourth half-century to guide Lucknow Super Giants to a six-wicket victory over table-toppers Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League match at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday.

Chasing a target of 181, Pooran (61) led LSG's charge with another blistering innings and was complemented in his effort by Aiden Markram (58) at the top of the order, before Ayush Badoni completed the formalities with an unbeaten 28, to power the home side over the line with three balls to spare.

The win propelled LSG to the third spot in the points table while GT are at the second spot.
