Skipper Samson’s half-century helped anchor the Royals’ innings, as the team reached 193-4 in 20 overs. In reply, Nicholas Pooran’s 64 not out went in vain as Lucknow faltered in their chase to end up with 173-6 (20 overs). Skipper…

Sequels have a bad reputation for being less than impressive. On the plus side, you have franchises like the new Star Trek movies and Guardians of the Galaxy, where the sequels aren’t necessarily bad, they’re just more of the same. On the bad end, you’re left with what most sequels become: desperate attempts from studios to make more money by churning out absolute garbage, like Son of the Mask, Basic Instinct 2, Sex and the City 2, and Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde. Luckily, sci-fi is a genre that’s largely been spared from horrific theatrically released sequels (the straight-to-DVD…
