After electing to bat first, LSG found themselves in trouble for 66 for 4 in 11.2 overs before Badoni (55 not out in 30 balls) and Poorlan (48 not out in 26 balls) added on in the fifth A crucial, unbeaten 99-run partnership was built on the first wicket, with just 52 goals scored.
At the end of the power play, LSG was 2-for-27 from the field.
The visitors suffered a setback when Quinton de Kock, who replaced the injured Mohsin Khan, performed poorly and was dismissed by Nitish Kumar Reddy in the third over. Excellent catch at deep square leg from Neshwar Kumar (2/12).
Bhuvneshwar struck again in the fifth over, dismissing the dangerous Marcus Stoinis, but the credit for the dismissal went to young Sanveer Singh, who finished inches off the ground at mid-off Made a stunning diving catch.
The pitch also didn’t help LSG’s cause as the ball was a bit slow and was stopping as their batsmen found it difficult to find timing.
While captain KL Rahul (29) maintained the lead, Krunal Pandya (24) upped the ante on his own.
Krunal hammered Jaydev Unadkat for six over long-on before hitting the bowler straight over his head for another top score, In the eighth point 15 points were accumulated.
Rahul hit the first boundary of the LSG innings in the 10th over, hitting SRH captain Pat Cummins at mid-off.
But Rahul was never at his usual best as he struggled to find his timing and eventually left in search of a quick run and was caught at deep backward leg by T Natarajan on the last delivery of the same over.
SRH performed well in the field, Cummins delivered a direct ball from mid-on, the batsman hit a quick single and Krunal was quickly dismissed.
Badoni soon stepped on the accelerator with three boundaries off left-arm pacer Natarajan’s 14th over which produced 17 runs.
Lucknow finally got going, with Pooran and Badoni hitting six and four respectively, amassing 12 off the ball bowled by leg-spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth in the 15th hole point.
They showed their intent from the start and didn’t hesitate to hit the ball when the opportunity presented itself.
Badoni’s batting was superb and the deck seemed to get better as he swept and cut two boundaries off Natarajan in the 17th over.
Badoni showed off some cheeky shots as the right-hander scored 50 runs off 28 balls.
