They held their nerves and bowled a good line to not let the opposition batters getaway. So, the Super Giants are looking like a team to beat," Morkel said on Cricket Live on Star Sports.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Praising LSG's formidable pace attack Morkel said, "Lucknow Super Giants have got three fantastic bowlers to bowl at the back end (against Sunrisers Hyderabad).</p>.<p class="bodytext">Avesh Khan picked up two crucial wickets in the 18th over, that was a make-or-break (situation) in the game. AJ Tye is showing his skills and Jason Holder was also brilliant at the close of the innings. So, obviously, I am relieved from a bowler's perspective that teams are winning defending the total."</p>
