Lucknow Super Giants, led by a beleaguered Rishabh Pant, were seeking home comfort in their first game at the Ekana stadium on Tuesday night. But it was not to be as their batting faltered after being asked to bat first by Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer. A total of 171/7 was never going to be enough and the visitors romped home comfortably with  eight wickets and 22 balls to spare to record their second win in as many matches.

While Pant flopped with the bat and ended up on the losing side, his counterpart Iyer not only handled his resources well but also collected his second successive unbeaten half-century (52 not out) to take the team to victory.
