Nicholas Pooran played a crucial knock for Lucknow Super Giants
Earlier in the day, Nicholas Pooran walked out for the toss as captain for LSG in place of KL Rahul, who only batted and was later substituted by the Impact Player, Naveen. Pooran said this was done to ease Rahul into the tournament as he was returning from an injury. LSG chose to bat first on a good wicket in front of their supportive home fan base.
LSG’s innings was initially spearheaded by Quinton de Kock, who smashed a 38-ball 54. Rahul started well but was dismissed when he tried to find the gap through point but was caught superbly by Bairstow. In the sixth over, Devdutt Padikkal made room and tried to go over mid-off, only to find the fielder.
Meanwhile, de Kock soldiered on and batted at a good pace. The innings got real impetus when Pooran joined de Kock. The 27-ball 47-run stand set a proper platform for a big score. Although de Kock was dismissed in the 14th over, Pooran’s attack continued as he smashed his way to 42 off 21 balls, featuring three fours and three sixes, until he inside-edged one onto the stumps from Kagiso Rabada.
In the slog overs, Krunal Pandya’s enterprising knock (43 not out off 22 balls) helped push LSG towards 200.
PBKS bowlers kept striking at regular intervals, but with Pandya in the middle, LSG looked set to cross 200. It was only a good last over by Harshal Patel that kept LSG a run short of that 200-run mark. In an innings where batters generally attacked, Sam Curran was the pick of the bowlers with 3-28 in his four overs. (IPL)

Tanks will also be distributed to households in Katu’ur to ease their water woes.
Other concerns related to education, infrastructure and potable water access were brought to the forefront, and the president promised that these issues will be addressed.
In his initial remarks, the president also shed light on a suite of initiatives that have empowered indigenous communities with improved access to essential services.
“We will stand equally in defence of every citizen of this country. That is why in the three years, we have not only brought back the 2,000 CSO workers and rehired them, but we have hired hundreds of part-time workers additionally at $40,000 per month,” the president affirmed.
He continued, “We do this…because we understand the value of opportunity. Your communities lag behind not because you are inferior, but because you never had the opportunity and today we are giving you that opportunity.”
He said that over the last three years and a half, some $1 billion has been invested in the South-Central Rupununi, spanning a range of sectors, including education and health.
More training opportunities for lucrative careers are available to residents in these villages, while relief measures offer access to improved quality of healthcare.
“Three years ago, we didn’t have the opportunities that we have today…that every young lady and woman here can now collect a voucher for the government and be tested for cervical cancer free of cost. We are investing in the machines so that you can get your treatment right here in Guyana,” the head of state pointed out.

Meanwhile, the government’s Solar Home Systems Project is also making headway in these communities, as 919 solar home units have been distributed thus far.
“In renewable energy, the household solar units, we have spent, in these South-Central Communities, almost $230 million. In health, in these communities alone, we have spent close to $180 million. In education, we have spent close to $255 million…in Amerindian Affairs, we have spent almost $294 million. For the first time, because of your support for the LCDS, we were able to transfer to your communities almost $120 million directly into your bank account,” the president underscored.
Several Toshaos praised the government’s recent interventions.
They highlighted a number of initiatives unfolding in their respective communities, made possible with their allocated funds from the Carbon Credits initiative.
The projects range from improvements in transportation infrastructure, advancements in information and communication technology (ICT), and investments in overall infrastructure development. All of these initiatives are expected to generate revenue, create jobs, and promote sustainability within the villages.
Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, Minister of Natural Resources, Vickram Bharrat, and regional officials were also present at the engagement.
