Lucknow Super Giants rocketed to 141 for 3 after 10 overs against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 4, 2026, with Nicholas Pooran tearing into the attack in a 63-run burst off just 21 balls.
Pooran struck one boundary and eight maximums in a blistering stand that turned the innings into a chase for the bowlers, while Mitchell Marsh kept the momentum going with 44 off 25 balls and finished six runs short of a half-century. Josh Inglish was the early wicket for Lucknow, departing after 13 runs from five balls, including three boundaries, but the loss did little to slow the scoring rate as the visitors surged past 140 inside the first 10 overs.
The total came in an IPL 2026 contest between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, and it reflected a power-packed start rather than a finished result. What mattered on the day was the speed of the scoring: Lucknow had already built a daunting platform before the match had reached its midpoint, with Pooran’s hitting doing most of the damage.
The tension for Mumbai is simple enough. Even with an early wicket in Inglish, the bowling side could not stop the scoring once Marsh and Pooran settled in. A score of 141 for 3 after 10 overs leaves very little room for error in a format where momentum can decide everything in a handful of balls.
By the end of the first half of the innings, Lucknow had not just recovered from the early loss. It had seized control, and Pooran’s name sat at the center of it.
