Green Park in Kanpur hosted the day of Super Overs in UP T20 League 2023. In the second match, Lucknow Falcons defeated Gorakhpur Lions in a thrilling Super Over. In the third encounter, Kashi Rudras lost to Meerut Mavericks in yet another nail-biting Super Over.
In the second encounter, opting to bat first, Lucknow Falcons put their best foot forward, scoring 183/5 in their stipulated 20 overs. Keeper-batter Aaradhya Yadav's unbeaten 71-run knock off 46 balls played a pivotal role in the Falcons putting up a dominating total. Moreover, Kritagya Singh and Hardeep Singh scored some important runs for Lucknow in the death overs.
In reply, Lions opener Abhishek Goswami scored an unbeaten 95 in leveling the scores in 20 overs, taking the game to Super Over. The Lions could score only eight runs, as Falcons chased down the target in just four balls to bag their first win of the season.
Coming to the third match, Meerut posted 181/4 after opting to bat first. Skipper Madhav Kaushik shined with the willow, scoring 87* runs off 52 balls. However, other batters didn’t put up a notable score.
