Analysis

Commentary

So, it's time to close the coverage and recharge for some more cricket tomorrow. Join us tomorrow for the live-coverage of the battle between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. Until then, this is Raghav Tikmany, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators, Pratyush Rohra and Soorya Sesha. Goodnight!

It's only early days in the tournament but RCB really need to work on their death bowling. They have been smacked by the lower-middle order of two different sides on two different surfaces now. LSG on the other hand, will be happy with these away wins. Their form at home has been tremendous and they are off to a really strong start to the competion.

Right then. That draws the curtains on the run feast between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. 425 runs and 40 overs later, it was the Super Giants that came out on top in the final delivery of the match.

Nicholas Pooran (Player of the Match): I want to dedicate this award to my wife and to my new born. We needed to win this one. The partnership between Stoinis and KL was wonderful and Marcus kept us in the tie. It was a lovely wicket to bat on and we knew batting becomes easier towards the back end. It was all about getting the execution right. If it's in the slot, then I am not sparing it. I was in a very nice position after smacking my second ball for a six. I have worked very hard on my game and this is where I wish to be. I want to finish games for my side and today also I got out before finishing the game. I am in a good place at the moment and I hope this is my season. My aim is to enjoy the game, play with a smile and win games for my side.

KL Rahul (LSG captain): Unbelievable game. It's Chinnaswamy, I have grown up here and I know this venue produces more last ball finishes than any other. To win this from where we were in the beginning, is phenomenal. The ball was swinging early on and Mayers and myself were struggling a bit. Stoinis and Pooran were incredible today and we are going home with two points today because of them. Yes, I am not happy with my current form and I want to get more runs under my belt. I went slower today because we lost three early wickets. We could have won this much more comfortably if I could stay till the end. Badoni did a fine job towards the end, he has been a valuable asset for us.

Marcus Stoinis: It was a beautiful pitch. I knew had to be attacking but it was also an important stage in the innings. (Not bowling enough) We need to speak to the IPL about the rule change with the impact player. It's taken me out of the equation with the ball. It's a good rule for some, but not so much for others. It was nice to contribute to the team. We're a young franchise and we haven't won away from home yet. It means a lot for us to be here and contribute to the team with this being a new franchise. So yeah, contributing feels nice. I think we bowled really well in the powerplay but some of those shots from Virat and Faf you don't see every day. Spinners bowled really well in the middle. History suggests 200 is about par, so the plan was to get off to a good start and take it from there.

Faf du Plessis (RCB captain) Disappointed. Obviously they played very well in the middle. Last over, 1 off 1 ball, I fancied my chances of a runout there. Just looking at the wicket, when we were batting, it was quite slow from over 7-14. As the innings went on, then the ball started skidding on a bit better with the moisture on the surface. That was the case through the second innings. They had some really good power-hitting with Stoinis and Pooran. I threw all our weapons at them. Unfortunately, they took on our best bowler in Harshal Patel but he came back beautifully. From where they were, it was a good fight from us. You have to be really on top of your game with the ball to come out on top. (His knock) I was actually struggling for most of my innings. I was happy to give the strike to Virat because he was in such good form in the first six overs. It wasn't until the 12th over till I thought I found some rhythm. You get some innings where you have to work through it.

Match Summary: Lucknow Super Giants (213/9 in 20 overs) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (212/2 in 20 overs) by 1 wicket.

Marcus Stoinis 65 (30) | Nicholas Pooran 62(19) | Mohammed Siraj 3/22 (4)
Faf du Plessis 79* (46) | Virat Kohli 61 (44) | Amit Mishra 1/18 (2)

No target is ever safe at the Chinnaswamy and today Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran have proved it yet again. The Super Giants were off to a horror start as the top order collapsed in the first four overs. They did not have enough runs on the board and Siraj and Parnell caused havoc with the new ball.

However, when Stoinis switched gears, LSG started dreaming again. He attacked Harshal and then went after the spinners. KL was just watching him go from the other end and handing over the strike. Stoinis departed after playing one shot too many against Karn. KL was forced to take on Siraj and he threw away his wicket after struggling to make any impact today. Pooran and Badoni were the new batters at the crease but they did not take any time to settle in. Badoni played the support role and also kept scoring at a decent rate and Pooran treated every delivery as a six-hitting opportunity.

Pooran was dismissed when 28 was needed off 24. Badoni and Unadkat dragged LSG towards the end and the equation was down to 5 off the final over. In a dramatic final over which saw a couple of wickets and run out misses, LSG came out on top after stealing a bye in the final ball.

That is one of the craziest final overs you will ever see. Lucknow Super Giants clinch the victory in the final ball!

19.6 Harshal Patel to Avesh Khan, LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS CLINCH AN ABSOLUTE THRILLER! Take a breather. What a game. We've seen it all here. After all that drama, Harshal nails the yorker but it's the keeper who fumbles his take, allowing the batters to sneak through for a bye. Bishnoi takes off for a celebratory spring, Avesh throws his helmet to celebrate. Pure adrenalin! LSG win by 1 wicket! That game was a definition of box office!

Oh, dear! Harshal missed out on an opportunity to runout Bishnoi at the non-striker's end. He did well enough to spot Badoni leaving his crease early but couldn't managed to whip the bails off while bailing out of his run-up. Yeah, that requires a certain level of skill too. Anyway, there was a moment where the batter and bowler exchanged looks with Bishnoi trying to rush back to his crease as Harshal fired in the throw. The moment had passed by then.... The throw wouldn't have counted anyway, because it's not allowed once the first attempt was missed. We'll have to do this all over again!

Avesh Khan, RHB, comes to the crease

Oh, dear! There were only two fielders outside the circle and Unadkat manages to hit this one towards Faf at long on. 1 run needed off the final ball and we may get a super over here!

19.5 Harshal Patel to Jaydev Unadkat, HOLES OUT!! Chinnaswamy erupts! What drama! Banged in short again and this time it pays off. Unadkat tried to take it up and miscued a top edge that carried to Faf at long-on as he was already standing a few yards inside the boundary. He's usually very reliable but he almost fumbled his reverse cup catch there. Are we in for a...?

Jaydev Unadkat c Faf du Plessis b Harshal Patel 9 (7b, 1x4, 0x6)

Faf is calling the fielders back inside the circle.

Bishnoi just gets enough bat to pick up a single. He hands it over to Unadkat to hit the winning runs

19.4 Harshal Patel to Ravi Bishnoi, tries to dig it in short and Bishnoi was upto the challenge. Swivels for a pull to deep backward square leg to level the scores

Outstanding running from Bishnoi! Great match awareness from the youngster as he manages to find the gap. Just 2 needed off 3 now.

19.3 Harshal Patel to Ravi Bishnoi, excellent running! It was the yorker on the off-stump line and Bishnoi did well to nurdle it through the vacant point region. They caught the fielder napping and managed to pinch a second run from under his nose. Brilliant game awareness!
