In the Lucknow Super Giants' second encounter of the IPL 2024 season, the hosts defeated Punjab Kings, and Mayank Yadav showed off his bowling skills by taking three vital wickets. Quinton de Kock, Krunal Pandya, and skipper Nicholas Pooran all made significant contributions as the home team amassed a competitive total of 199 runs in their allocated 20 overs with the loss of 8 wickets. With a half-century(54), De Kock spearheaded the attack; Pooran and Krunal, with scores of 42 and an undefeated 43, respectively, contributed significantly. Sam Curran and Arshdeep Singh of the Punjab Kings responded by taking two wickets apiece.

Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow, the opening duo, gave Punjab Kings a great start as they chased 200 runs. After Bairstow was out, though, the Lucknow Super Giants responded, and Dhawan's heroic fifty-ball seventy runs finally proved to be insufficient as wickets fell all around him. Mayank Yadav, making his debut, proved to be the hero for Lucknow, taking three vital wickets to ensure the win for his side. Even with two wickets from Mohsin Khan, Dhawan's outstanding effort was unable to keep Punjab Kings from losing.
