Lucknow vs Noida: A Nail-Biting Clash at Ekana Stadium
When two strong teams lock horns, cricket stops being just a sport—it becomes pure drama. That’s exactly what happened when the Lucknow Falcons took on the Noida Super Kings in the Uttar Pradesh T20 League at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow.
The atmosphere was electric—fans waving flags, drums echoing across the stands, and every ball cheered like a festival moment.
Falcons’ Firepower: Priyam Garg Steals the Show
Lucknow’s innings had its hero—Priyam Garg, who played a captain’s knock, smashing 73 runs off just 42 balls. Every boundary off his bat lifted the crowd, and for a while, it looked like the Falcons would fly high. But cricket is a game of twists, and regular wickets slowed their momentum. They ended with 165/8 in 20 overs—a fighting total, but not unassailable.
Noida’s Nerve: Chase Filled with Twists
Chasing under lights is never easy at Ekana. Noida stumbled early, losing quick wickets, but Prashant Veer stepped up with a gritty 48 runs. The match swung like a pendulum—one over with Lucknow on top, the next with Noida fighting back.
The tension reached its peak in the final over. Fans were on their feet, biting their nails. Noida needed just a few runs, but the Falcons’ bowlers weren’t giving up without a fight.
And then—a cracking boundary sealed the deal. Noida Super Kings scraped through, scoring 168/8 in 19.5 overs, winning by just 2 wickets.
