Batting
first Lucknow Super Giants suffered an early blow losing their in-form captain
KL Rahul as Kagiso Rabada got him caught behind by wicket-keeper Jitesh Sharma
for 6.

However,
LSG could make a solid recovery, with opener Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda
building an 85 runs partnership and batting cautiously to score 39 runs in six
overs of powerplay.

The
partnership was broken by Sandeep Sharma when he dismissed opener de Kock for
46 off 37 balls as LSG lost their second wicket for 98.
