LSG held their nerve in the chase and crossed the line at 182/7 off the final delivery, sealing a dramatic three-wicket win. Mukul Choudhary was the game-changer, smashing an unbeaten 54 from 27 balls and shifting momentum decisively in the death overs, when the match seemed to have pushed away.
Coming into this match, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a setback in their previous outing against Rajasthan Royals, where their poor batting display led to a collapse while chasing a 160-run target. In contrast, Kolkata Knight Riders enter after securing their first win of the season over Rajasthan, largely due to their impressive bowling effort.
