Right then, that is it from this run-fest where Lucknow Super Giants gets the better of Gujarat Titans for the second time this season. The action now moves to Lucknow, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium on Friday, 23rd May. But as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Mitchell Marsh says it has been a long journey for him as he first played for the Deccan Chargers in IPL. Adds that he has enjoyed opening the batting, and Aiden Markram has helped him on the other end as well. Mentions that it has not been a great season as they cannot make the finals, but they wanted to do well in these last two games. Says that in T20s when you are 10 from 10, it is panic stations, but it was good to take some time to asses the conditions, and that helped him to settle and go big. Tells that every team in this competition comes with a mindset of winning, and anyone can beat anyone, that is why it is the best in the world
Rishabh Pant, the victorious skipper of Lucknow Super Giants, says that he is feeling delighted with the way they played good cricket as a team. Highlights that there was a time in the tournament where they had the chances to qualify, but they slipped and feel that's the part and parcel of the game. Mentions about learning and getting better from here. Says coming into the tournament, there were a lot of injury concerns for them. Adds the way Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran batted was great. Admits that they made some lapses in the fielding and concludes by saying it's all about learning and moving forward.
Presentation Time...
Will O'Rourke of Lucknow Super Giants is up for a quick chat. He says that it was a lot of fun out there. Adds that when they put 240 on the board, it was always going to be difficult for them. Mentions that the batters were hitting the hard lengths, so he took a leaf out of their game, and says you have to be flexible in T20. Says that he is drenched in sweat and is still adjusting to the conditions and heat. Ends by saying that they have a great crew, both Indians and overseas boys.
The captain of Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill, reflects that they gave away 15-20 extra runs and were expecting to stop LSG around 210-220. But admits that conceding 235 was a bit too much. Feels that they bowled well in the powerplay, but couldn't get any wickets. On the match situation in the chase, he mentions that they were right in the game until the 16th or the 17th over. Appreciates Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford for batting bravely. On their last league game against CSK, he concludes by saying that it will be important for them to get the winning momentum back.
Lucknow Super Giants struck early with the big wicket of Sai Sudharsan, courtesy of Will O'Rourke. However, on a pitch that heavily favoured the batters, they ended up conceding quite a few. The injury to Akash Singh didn’t help their cause either, but he came back to remove Jos Buttler. The middle overs proved challenging, with the game slipping away from them for a while. But it was O'Rourke once again who turned things around, removing both Rutherford and Tewatia in the same over to wrest back control. Shahbaz Ahamad bowled a tidy spell and picked up one, while Badoni chipped in late with a couple of wickets to wrap things up.
Earlier in the game, Lucknow Super Giants piled on a massive total, smashing 17 sixes and 17 fours in the process. Mitchell Marsh set the tone with a sensational century, while Nicholas Pooran chipped in with a blazing fifty. Handy contributions from Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant added to the carnage. For Gujarat Titans, Arshad Khan and Sai Kishore were the only ones to pick up wickets, but overall, it was a tough day with the ball as their bowling unit proved to be quite expensive.
Gujarat Titans, as usual, got off to a flying start but lost Sai Sudharsan early. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler then came together to steady things for a while, but their dismissals in quick succession put Gujarat on the back foot. Just when things looked shaky, Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan stepped up, putting together a solid 86-run partnership that brought them right back into the contest. As long as the duo was at the crease, Gujarat seemed in control. However, once Rutherford departed, the tide turned sharply. Despite Shahrukh reaching a well-deserved fifty, he too succumbed to the pressure in the end, as Gujarat fell short in the chase.
Lucknow Super Giants have finally snapped their losing streak! They've completed the double over Gujarat Titans, and it certainly didn’t come easy. The batters laid the foundation with a strong performance, and while the bowlers did take some punishment, they held their nerve in the crucial moments to see the team through to a hard-fought win.

Shahbaz Ahamad To Arshad Khan OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Pretty much one-dimensional from Arshad Khan and he departs now! Knowing that Arshad will try to go downtown again, Shahbaz Ahamad smartly bowls quick and flat, across off, on a length. Arshad Khan stands tall and tries to swing over the bowler's head, but ends up in an awkward position, slicing the bowl to point. Will O'Rourke from cover, moves to his right, and almost collides with Arshin Kulkarni (sub) at backward point. He holds onto the ball and takes a fine catch.

Will O'Rourke To Rahul Tewatia OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A game-changing over from Will O'Rourke as he wraps his spell with a double whammy. On a controlled line and length, full and just around off, with some pace off. Rahul Tewatia swings across the line and is a bit early to do so, looking to whip it over the leg side. Ends up hitting it off the toe-end of the bat and sails it straight into the hands of Himmat Singh at long on. He doesn't have to move a muscle and takes a simple straightforward catch in the deep. Not the night to be for Tewatia as he goes without much impact. Gujarat Titans have slipped to 186/5 now.

Will O'Rourke To Sherfane Rutherford OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Will O'Rourke breaks this crucial stand and LSG can breathe, at least for now. Will O'Rourke bowls a slower one, pitching it a bit fuller and around off. Sherfane Rutherford gets crouched and tries to whip it over deep square leg. However, due to the lack of pace, he plays it a bit early and airs it towards deep mid-wicket. Ravi Bishnoi, the substitute fielder, runs in from the deep and slides on his knees to take a fabulous catch. He is known for brave fielding and he does pull off a great catch here.
Will O'Rourke (3-0-1-23) comes back into the attack. Also, Aiden Markram is off the field with a hamstring injury.

Akash Deep To Shahrukh Khan
OUTSIDE EDGE, FOUR! Too full and outside off, Shahrukh Khan tries to smash it through covers, but gets a thick outside edge and the ball runs to the fence at deep third.
STRATEGIC BREAK. Gujarat Titans were under immense pressure with their top three back in the hut inside ten overs. However, after a rebuilding phase, Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford have kept the flame of the chase ignited. Lucknow Super Giants' bowlers have certainly missed to hit the right lines and lengths in the last few overs and have taken the tour of the park, conceding 43 runs in the last three overs. Still, it is an uphill task for Gujarat Titans as they need 71 off the last 5 overs, and they just cannot release their foot off the accelerator here. Lucknow Super Giants need wickets here. But who will be the one to break this stand? Buckle up, folks, this is on a knife's edge, and anyone's game to win.

OUT! BOWLED'EM! Totally outfoxed! Akash Singh smartly takes the pace off the leather, and dishes out a deceptive knuckle ball, pitching it right in front of the stumps, on a good length. Jos Buttler is months early into the shot as he tries to push it forward. He misses connecting as his bat swings before the ball arrives and shatters the stumps. Jos Buttler departs for 33 (18) and Gujarat Titans are 96/3. Akash Singh brings out the signature notebook celebration, likewise Digvesh Rathi.

Strategic Break! Gujarat Titans have scored at a good rate, but the problem for them is that they have lost both their openers. Jos Buttler needs to play the anchor and go deep, but they also keep an eye on the asking rate. The middle order have a great chance of showing their mettle as they have not been tested enough in this season. Lucknow Super Giants know that if they manage to get a couple of wickets, they will be able to close this game out. An interesting phase of cricket awaits us. Also, Akash Singh to bowl after the break.

Pace on this time around, on top of middle and leg, hurrying Jos Buttler for pace. He does well to play the grounded pull shot, off the inner half. Gets a single to deep fine leg. 9 runs off this over. 18 off the last two for GT.

Straight and full, around off, Sherfane Rutherford gets forward and taps it wide of cover for a single. Himmat Singh runs quickly to his right and stops the ball. A risky run though, had Himmat Singh scored a direct hit at the striker's end, Buttler was gone for all money.

Avesh Khan To Shubman Gill OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! CAUGHT! Full marks to Abdul Samad for a sensational catch! Avesh Khan provides a big, big breakthrough for his side as the GT skipper departs now! Avesh bowls a fuller one, keeping the line of attack around the off stump. Shubman Gill prods forward to launch it over long off, but the ball is a bit too full and he doesn't quite get his bat underneath the ball. Hence, does not generate enough power, and ends up slicing it wide of long off. Abdul Samad runs forward and a bit to his left. The ball dips ahead of him, but he takes a fabulous sliding catch with a dive. Shubman Gill departs on 35 off 20 and Gujarat Titans are now 85/2, with both prolific openers back into the dugout now.

Avesh Khan To Jos Buttler
SIX! LAUNCHED! Not quite a convincing timing, but the raw power sails the ball behind the ropes. Length-delivery, over the top of the stumps, Jos Buttler picks the length in a trice as he skips down the track and launches it over deep mid-wicket. It goes miles up in the air as three fielders converge to sniff a catch, but only to see the ball sail over the ropes.

Halt! Akash Singh got hit on his fingers on the follow-through, and his right hand is bleeding a lot. The physio is in to wipe off that blood with a towel and some water. Uh..oh! It looks like he will not be able to continue and is going off the field. Avesh Khan to finish this over.

Will O'Rourke To Sai Sudharsan OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Will O'Rourke strikes a crucial blow for LSG! The in-form Sai Sudharsan walks back early. This is pitched up and on off, but pace is now taken off. Sai is early into his drive and fails to keep it down. The ball flies towards mid off where Aiden Markram dives to his front to take a fine catch. Gujarat Titans are 46/1 as Sai Sudharsan departs for 21 (16), after getting off to a good positive start.
