LUCKNOW, India (AP) — Batting fireworks from Nicholas Pooran helped the Lucknow Super Giants halt the Gujarat Titans' four-match winning streak in the Indian Premier League on Saturday.

Pooran smashed 61 off 34 balls as Lucknow beat previous table-toppers Titans by six wickets.

Pooran, the leading run-scorer, struck seven sixes in his fourth half-century of this year's IPL as Lucknow notched up a third straight win.
