took over the team
Lucknow did not get a good start. He lost Kyle Meyers early. A stormy batsman like Meyers could score only two runs after facing 14 balls. Glenn Phillips got him caught by Aiden Markram. Markram took a brilliant catch at his mid-on. But after that Prerak kept his feet and batted comfortably. He made the innings without taking any kind of risk. He shared a 42-run partnership with Quinton Dickock (29). Dickock was dismissed by Mayank Markandeya.
After this, Prerak got the support of Marcus Stoinis and together they brought Lucknow on the way to victory. Together these two scored 73 runs in 43 balls. Prerak completed his half-century by taking one run on the fourth ball of the 15th over. Stoinis was out but Prerak along with Nicholas Pooran led the team to victory. Nicholas scored an unbeaten 44 off 13 balls in a blistering fashion. He hit three fours and four sixes in his innings.
