The IPL 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants turned out to be another last-over thriller. With the latter winning by one wicket in the final ball.
After RCB scored 212 batting first. LSG batted with extraordinary exertion as the situation reduced to five runs off the last six balls.
However, LSG’s loss of Mark Wood and Jaydev Unadkat’s wickets added to the drama. LSG’s equation now came down to one run for one ball.
As Harshal Patel attempted to run out LSG’s Ravi Bishnoi at the non-striker’s end because the hitter had supported excessively far, more show unfolded here.
After failing his attempt, Harshal threw the ball at the stumps, where it struck, but the umpire declared Bishnoi not out because the bowler had completed his action.
In a match-winning 19-ball 62 by Nicholas Pooran and a 65 by Marcus Stoinis. Lucknow Super Giants defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by one wicket in a last-ball thriller on Monday in the Indian Premier League.
LSG, chasing 213, secured a memorable victory by relying on the skill of Pooran and Stoinis. Pooran made the fastest fifty of the season by hitting the mark in just 15 balls.
Glenn Maxwell, Virat Kohli, and captain Faf Du Plessis all hit blistering half-centuries earlier as RCB posted an impressive 212 for two after being put into bat.
Du Plessis hit an unbeaten 79 off 46 balls, but Kohli stole the show with a 44-ball 61-run score. The two of them combined to score 96 runs for the first wicket after being batted together.
In the third delivery of the first over, LSG lost Kyle Mayers to Mohammed Siraj. This was a terrible start for LSG. Deepak Hooda edged Dinesh Karthik behind the stumps off Wayne Parnell’s bowling in the fourth over, giving RCB their second victory.
In order to keep LSG in the chase, Stoinis demonstrated his batting prowess by eliminating Karn Sharma and Harshal Patel. Stoinis continued his assault and struck Shahbaz Ahmed twice for maximums.
Bringing LSG’s total to fifty in 26 balls and putting them at 91 for three at the halfway point.
Stoinis then pounded Karn Sharma over the additional cover limit.
Yet the bowler triumphed when it was all said and done. As the Australian miscued a shot to be gotten by Ahmed at the profound point.
Before being caught by Kohli off Siraj in the 12th over. LSG captain KL Rahul continued to struggle, scoring just 18 runs from 20 deliveries.
Pooran nailed seven sixes and four boundaries with his long handle, keeping LSG in the hunt. Pooran scored fifty off just 15 balls in a masterful inning.
With his big-hitting prowess, Pooran changed the match himself and brought LSG within striking distance of a spectacular victory.
