227/2 (20.0/20)
171/7 (20.0/20)
Gujarat Titans beat Lucknow Super Giants by 56 runs
Right then, that is it from this game where Gujarat have registered a one-sided victory over Lucknow to strengthen their position at the top. However, the action in the Indian T20 League continues as we have another match coming our way between Rajasthan and Hyderabad which is already underway. So, switch tabs to enjoy all the coverage of that game. Cheers!
Shubman Gill is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant knock.
Earlier in the game, Krunal Pandya won the toss and opted to field on a hot afternoon and on a pitch that looks solid for batting. This decision backfired completely as Wriddhiman Saha went on a rampage and alongside Shubman Gill picked up 78 runs inside the Powerplay. Saha got to fifty and kept on coming at the bowlers before getting out. Hardik Pandya then came in and played a good cameo before Gill turned it on and went on to score an unbeaten 94 off just 51 balls to take Gujarat to a mammoth total of 227 runs. Lucknow didn't have a good outing with the ball but Avesh Khan showed good control and was fairly economical as well alongside Krunal Pandya but the rest of the frontline bowlers were all punished. Coming to the chase, Lucknow started off in sixth gear only to keep shifting gears down and down till they were blown off and Gujarat picked up an easy win.
Lucknow will be scratching their head because they had the platform laid down with the bat but have ended up losing the game by a huge margin. The new opening pair of Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock came out guns blazing and racked up 72 runs in the Powerplay. The pitch though slowed down a bit and it became difficult to get the boundaries away. Once Mayers fell, the scoring rate just took a nosedive. De Kock put up a fight and got 70 runs but no one else got going at all. The likes of Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran came and went and it was only Ayush Badoni who did get away a few lusty blows. In the end, the fall of wickets coupled with the pitch slowing down halted Lucknow's charge and they went on to suffer a big defeat.
Gujarat had a massive total on the board, the highest so far on this ground and all they needed was a decent start with the ball in the Powerplay. However, this wasn't the case as their bowlers were punished and conceded runs at an hemmoraghing rate. This changed once Mohit Sharma got rid of Kyle Mayers and the bowlers were able to squeeze the flow of runs. This in turn created wicket-taking opportunities and Gujarat managed to get those wickets as well. The spin duo of Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan too got wickets but the former bowled much better. Mohit Sharma though did a brilliant job at the death as well and ended with 4 wickets.
A cakewalk of a win in the end for Gujarat and they keep their 100 percent win record against Lucknow in the Indian T20 League intact. With this victory, Gujarat also stretch their lead at the top of the table back to 3 points and improve their net run rate even further as well.

Strategic-Break! Gujarat have pulled things back nicely here to choke the Lucknow batters and they haven't given away much in the middle overs. Now, the visitors need over 100 runs in the last six overs and they will need something really special from Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis or Nicholas Pooran to get over the line. Nonetheless, an exciting end to this chase awaits us.

The question is whether it has pitched in line and with the replay it looks like it is and Gujarat players starts celebrating as it looks plumb, but UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball is near the bat and Mayers is safe. Pandya and Rashid Khan are in disbelief and they lose their review.

Rashid Khan To Quinton de Kock
Tossed up, full and on middle, Quinton de Kock reverse-sweeps it towards point for a single.
Strategic break! This is just the start Lucknow were looking for and the pair of Quinton de Kock and Kyle Mayers has simply been sensational just like their counterparts. It is still a big target and there's a long way to go in the chase and the middle overs will certainly prove to be vital. Lucknow will look to garner as many runs as possible at the top of the order and Gujarat will be gunning for wickets. Which side will take momentum into the death overs? Let's find out...

Leg bye! Confusion galore out in the middle! This is bowled on a hard length over middle, Quinton de Kock looks to defend but misses and the ball goes off the thigh pads onto the off side. The batters start off for the single but stop midway and the three fielders around the ball also stop. The batters do push for the run and the fielders are just not attentive enough.
