- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.1 given! Natarajan goes for the yorker as expected, and Rahul looks to sweep and misses. Looks very out, but Rahul has reviewed... Wasn't quite a yorker, but pitched quite full. Did it pitch in line or outside leg? Juuuust in line, and it's going on to hit middle and off stumps. Rahul finishes with 68 off 50. Hasn't quite managed the late acceleration to make up for the slow start, maybe, but a decent knock given the situation LSG were in 144/51.4 got him, a terrific catch from Kane Williamson at short extra-cover, slightly squarer than an orthodox short extra. Again the leg-stump line, again QdK making room to drive inside-out, but he drives in the air, and Williamson throws himself to his right to take a superb catch 8/13.1 three balls, three missed sweeps, three lbw appeals, and this one's given. Washington has completely tormented Lewis today. Flat slider, pitching on a length just inside off stump and mostly going on with the angle. Clears his front leg to slog-sweep, and he misses and is hit on the thigh pad, right in front. Doesn't review either, and it just looked very out. Umpire's call on leg stump, it turns out. 16/24.5 got him, the persistent hard length works for Shepherd. It's on off stump, and Pandey, stepping out and opening up at the hips, ends up with no room for his arms to play what ends up as a straight-bat drive on the up. Ends up hitting it straight to mid-on at stomach height 27/315.1 got him. Caught on the midwicket boundary. Hooda steps away from the stumps, looking to make room, and gets a back-of-a-length offcutter that finishes around off stump. He has the room to free his arms, but he doesn't quite hit this pull/slog cleanly, ends up finding the man on the boundary 114/419.6 steps out, looking to make room, and Shepherd bowls a slower length ball wide of off. Slashes and misses, and then they hurry through for the bye. The throw from the keeper comes back to the bowler in his follow-through, and he dives and flicks it onto the stumps at his end to catch Badoni short of his crease 169/718.4 bang. A bit of late inward swerve on the attempted yorker, and he was looking to clear his front leg and hit into the leg side. Ends up as a swinging full-toss that beats Krunal's inside edge and goes between his legs to hit the base of leg stump 150/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL169/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.45)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Quinton de Kock, 1.4 ov), 2-16 (Evin Lewis, 3.1 ov), 3-27 (Manish Pandey, 4.5 ov), 4-114 (Deepak Hooda, 15.1 ov), 5-144 (KL Rahul, 18.1 ov), 6-150 (Krunal Pandya, 18.4 ov), 7-169 (Ayush Badoni, 19.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.1 into orbit and Manish Pandey holds on. Avesh Khan gets his second. Went fullish on off, but went with the cutter. Sharma didn't pick the change in pace and went for the loft after clearing his front leg. Sliced in the air, and Pandey runs in from outside the circle and takes the catch around the cover region 38/23.3 pays the price for being too cheeky! Avesh stays full and wide. Williamson walked across to the off side to play that lap/ramp over the keeper and short fine leg. But this time it comes off the bottom of the bat, and Tye at short fine got under it for a sliding catch 25/113.1 slog sweep straight to deep midwicket. Full on off, Tripathi went for the big shot, and Bishnoi is a good catcher in the deep. Did Pooran's scoring rate force Tripathi to do that? We'll never know ..... this is a shot that Tripathi does enjoy, just didn't come off this time. 95/410.1 inside out but can't clear cover! Krunal goes around the stumps, on off stump. Markram backs away and tries to play an inside out cover drive, but doesn't have the elevation! Rahul puts both hands up and the ball sticks! 82/317.3 lucky wicket for Avesh! As the knee-high full toss is mistimed down to long off. Avesh wanted the yorker but overpitched it, Pooran's adrenaline makes him go for the big shot anyway. Not off the sweet spot, and Hooda gets behind it. The Lucknow supporters go up in delight, the Sunrisers owners sink into their seats 143/519.1 perfect start for Super Giants as Sundar holes out at long on. This was fullish on a fourth-stump line with Holder coming around the stumps. Sundar tried to clear the straight boundary, but the bat's face turned. Not a great connection, and provides enough time for both Manish Pandey (deep midwicket) and KL Rahul (long on) to both attack the ball, with the latter eventually taking the catch 154/717.4 two in two! Raw pace, nearly a yorker outside off. Samad tries to drive, but its taken a tiny edge through to the keeper! Two more balls left to get a five-for! Samad falls for a golden duck tonight 143/619.6 Lucknow Super Giants defend 169! full on middle. Looks for a leg-side swipe but leading edge takes the ball to Badoni at cover point. Shepherd falls and KL Rahul's men win by 12 runs 157/919.4 that should seal it unless there are extras. Holder knew Bhuvi must go for a big shot, and therefore he totally takes the pace off. Full loopy ball on off. Bhuvi is through the slog too early. Ball pops right up in the air, and de Kock gets under the swirling white ball. A fist pump from a few key Super Giants players. 156/8Extras10 (lb 4, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL157/9 (20 Overs, RR: 7.85)Did not bat: T NatarajanFall of wickets: 1-25 (Kane Williamson, 3.3 ov), 2-38 (Abhishek Sharma, 5.1 ov), 3-82 (Aiden Markram, 10.1 ov), 4-95 (Rahul Tripathi, 13.1 ov), 5-143 (Nicholas Pooran, 17.3 ov), 6-143 (Abdul Samad, 17.4 ov), 7-154 (Washington Sundar, 19.1 ov), 8-156 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 19.4 ov), 9-157 (Romario Shepherd, 19.6 ov)
