In a moderate display with the bat, Aiden Markram was the top scorer for LSG, contributing 30 runs. Rishabh Pant started well, hitting two fours and a six to reach 18, but fell victim to Mohammed Shami’s effective bowling with the new ball.
Abdul Samad and Mukul Choudhary each added 18 runs to the total, while Nicholas Pooran continued to struggle, managing only 19 runs.
Prasidh Krishna stood out as GT’s best bowler, claiming four wickets for just 28 runs in his four overs. Ashok Sharma, the fast bowler from Rajasthan, also made an impression with figures of 4-0-32-2.
