50th Match

Patidar: We were pretty sure how to go about the target. Boys played well and the way we stretched this game, just one or two shots behind. It was really good batting track. Was coming nicely on the bat. Difficult to analyse just after the game, need some time to analyse it. We have four games more, just taking one game at a time, one step at a time.

First win for LSG after six successive losses and also LSG’s first victory at home venue (Lucknow) after eight consecutive losses.
