Commentary

That will be all from this contest but the IPL action continues to roll on. It's time for Battle Royale tomorrow, as Rajasthan Royals lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Make sure you're back with us for our coverage of that contest, while also keeping yourselves up to date with all the other cricketing action from across the globe right here on Sportskeeda. Thank you so much for tuning into our coverage of this contest, one which we hope you enjoyed just as much as we did bringing to you. On behalf of my good friend and co-commentator Bala, this is Sooryanarayanan once again reminding you to mask up and get vaccinated in case you haven't already. Goodnight and take care!

The big bucks came his way at the IPL auction and so did an India cap. After a couple of tough games though, Avesh Khan has managed to bring his A-game to the fore, sending down a match-winning spell to seal the deal for the Lucknow Super Giants. With 4 points now, they find themselves logjammed with four other teams and things are only getting better for the new franchise. Jason Holder has arrived, Marcus Stoinis will also join them soon and it's set up for a seamless campaign for KL Rahul and Co. As for the Sunrisers, they remain winless and although the signs were a lot more positive today, they simply have to find a way to get on the board soon enough. While LSG play Delhi Capitals at this very venue on Thursday, SRH next play Chennai Super Kings, also at this venue, on Saturday afternoon.

Avesh Khan is the Player of the Match for his returns of 4/24 off his 4 overs.

Avesh: I just try to give my team wickets in the Powerplay as well as the slog overs. (On the Williamson wicket) I had decided to bowl the slower one. In the first innings we saw that there was some grip in the wicket. I wanted to mix up the pace since it was holding in the surface. My attempt is to bowl dots or give no more than singles off a delivery. (On his experience with LSG) It's been a great environment - Gautam bhai, Andy Flower and KL bhai have been very supportive. They've been encouraging me to keep bowling as per my rhythm since it has been good.

KL Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): I think what's been really pleasing in the three games we've played is we've found a way to stay in the game. We did it today as well - it's not ideal to lose three wickets in the Powerplay and we will look back at it. It's not something that will stay on our mind much but we can give ourselves some time upfront given how fresh the wickets are. We should find ways to play risk-free cricket with the bat but with the ball we've been brilliant in these three games and that's something we have to carry ahead. You don't really chat so much in the middle - as opening batters you don't want to plan too much. You just give yourselves a couple of balls and if the wicket's good then both of us will go for it. We have that extra batter with Jason coming in and we want to put pressure on the bowlers. We want to hit boundaries and sixes but again be smart about how we do it. You always go in thinking you need to get 180-200 but if that isn't possible you look to assess out there in the middle and get it to 160-180. Quinton wasn't bothered if the offie was bowling - they were putting pressure on him. It didn't come off but he wasn't perturbed. (Is this the best he's seen Deepak Hooda bat?) Of course - I've been playing with him for the last three or four years. He loves batting in the nets and never comes out. He's someone who is keen to learn - I know he's been in the IPL setup for a long, long time but he had to wait for his chance. He's become someone who we can rely on in the middle-order and today he soaked in the pressure and did really well.

Krunal Pandya (Lucknow Super Giants): It feels great especially when you win the game and contribute. It's the best feeling. (On his experience at LSG) I'm loving it - I had a great run with Mumbai Indians as well. I had some great memories there but this is a great franchise too. I actually feel it's my first IPL season, over here. Not at all (laughs when asked if he's missing brother Hardik). What is heartening to see is the brand of cricket we're playing. I can clearly see it's fearless. In all three games we were in a tough situation but we've come back really well. The self-belief we've shown has been terrific. The focus has been on how we can get better as a team and if we're on the right path that will take care of itself. I've worked a lot on my bowling - just tweaked my action to give it a bit of bounce and turn. So far it's been paying off.

Kane Williamson (SRH captain): I suppose if we look at the performance, it was a lot better than the previous game. We were a lot better with the ball. We were in a pretty strong position. We were just one partnership away from breaking the game. Rahul and Hooda had an excellent partnership. To get to 170 from where they were was a good effort. It was close but not close enough. It looked like a good surface. 170 is a challenging score on any surface. You have to play well. We had a reasonable start and had the firepower in the hut. Did not quice work today. The roles with the ball were really good. We were good in the powerplay. Small margins, a few ones and few twos, the chase takes a different shape. It's important not to get too far of ourselves. The focus is on putting together good performances.

Lucknow Super Giants 169/7 in 20 overs (KL Rahul 68 off 50, T Natarajan 2/26 off 4 overs) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 157/9 in 20 overs (Rahul Tripathi 44 off 30, Avesh Khan 4/24 off 4 overs) by 12 runs.

Nicholas Pooran was getting into his groove, Ravi Bishnoi was played out without a fuss and on a pitch that was good for batting, the Sunrisers Hyderabad had this chase under control. Only, for a late spurt of wickets to derail them off track with the Lucknow Super Giants doing equally well to hold their nerve. Not for the first time have they come up trumps under pressure alright!

SRH needed a brisk start and while Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma looked to provide that, Avesh Khan nipped the duo in the bud inside the Powerplay to put the Orange Army on the back foot. Rahul Tripathi though, continued to do what he does best - sustain the momentum post the removal of the field restrictions and the manner in which he countered Bishnoi in particular seemed to stand out.

At the halfway mark, SRH were ruling the roost and were in a commanding position - until Krunal Pandya returned to break open the game with the wicket of Aiden Markram. Pandya's spell, as it turns out even more in hindsight, was pure gold dust through those middle-overs. With Nicholas Pooran taking his time to get going, the pressure of the asking rate saw Tripathi hole out too, putting a lot of pressure on the Sunrisers.

That was when Pooran decided to cut loose with a couple of belligerent and eye-catching hits. With the southpaw calling the shots, it was all going SRH's way and all they needed was for him to bat through the innings. The moment he was dismissed though, it threw a toolkit and a half into the chase, with the Lucknow seamers pulling off a masterclass in death overs bowling.

Romario Shepherd couldn't hog much of the strike in the final over where SRH needed 16 to win, and a three-wicket burst from Jason Holder saw the Super Giants home for the second consecutive occasion this tournament. SRH, on the other hand, remain winless although this was a game they really shouldn't have let slip out of their grasp!

BIG JASE DOES IT! Talk about stepping up under pressure and the big man does the job yet again! Against his former franchise for a change, but jeez, that was one heck of a final over from the West Indian. The Sunrisers will look back at this game and rue the possibilities that could have been. Lucknow Super Giants beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 12 runs!

19.6 Jason Holder to Romario Shepherd, OUT! Another one for Holder! Tries to go big downtown but just doesn't have the length for that. Ends up slicing the ball straight to covers. LSG take the honors by 12 runs!
Romario Shepherd c Ayush Badoni b Jason Holder 8 (8b 0x4 1x6)

The smiles are wide on the faces of the LSG supporters! Yet another successful defense loading for the season.

19.5 Jason Holder to Umran Malik, full ball wide of off. Goes hard and gets the under edge to deep backward point

Two legal deliveries are all it needs hereon.

Umran Malik, RHB, comes to the crease. He will take strike.

He called for it himself and rightly so does Quinton de Kock. He holds on and Holder is taking the Super Giants home!

19.4 Jason Holder to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, STRAIGHT UP! And GONE! Slower ball right upto the batter. He tries to slog it right across the line but gets a leading edge that goes straight up in the air. de Kock calls for it and circles under the ball, making no mistake in the end.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar c Quinton de Kock b Jason Holder 1 (2b 0x4 0x6)

14 needed off 3. And Shepherd doesn't have the strike. Bhuvneshwar has to pull off a Houdini act here!

19.3 Jason Holder to Romario Shepherd, low full toss around the off-stump. Shepherd throws the kitchen sink at it but gets the cue end of the bat to deep square leg

Holder pulls out of his run-up as Shepherd shuffles across. And now more changes - no sweeper cover, but there is a long off and a long on in place.

Long on, deep mid-wicket, deep extra cover and a deep backward point in place. Another fielder is being sent back into the sweeper cover region - a wide yorker coming up then surely?
