Indian Premier League 2022: LSG vs CSK | De Kock and Lewis flatten Super Kings (Dated 31.03.2022)
The boundaries at the Cricket Club of India’s Brabourne Stadium were small. The conditions were tilted towards batters, with the dew making the ball as wet as it can be in a bucketful of water. Still, a team had to bat out of its skin to surpass a target of 211, that too versus the defending champion.
The protagonists of the chase were left-handed Quinton de Kock and Evin Lewis. De Kock made the most of a dropped catch by Moeen Ali at mid-off off Dwayne Bravo in the PowerPlay to set the foundation with a well-complied 61 (45b, 9×4). Lewis then capitalised on it with an unbeaten fifty (55 n.o., 23b, 6×4, 3×6).
Captain K.L. Rahul, who shared a 99-run partnership at the top with de Kock, played the perfect supporting role along with Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni, with the pocket dynamo’s two sixes helping the Super Giants cross the line with three balls to spare.
