Stoinis, Pooran help LSG beat RCB by one wicket

The match between Bangalore and Lucknow was nothing short of an epic thriller. Batting first, Virat Kohli (61 runs off 44 deliveries) and Faf du Plessis (79* runs off 46 deliveries) gave a perfect start to the home side while Glenn Maxwell (59 runs off 29 runs) towards the fag end of the match played a blistering knock to help Bangalore post 212 runs on board after 20 overs. 

In the second innings, Lucknow lost three quick wickets of Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal Pandya while KL Rahul too returned back to the pavilion after scoring 18 runs off 20 deliveries. However, Australia all-rounder Marcus Stoinis rose up to the occasion and played a blistering knock of 65 runs off 30 deliveries to change the complexion of the match. 

After his dismissal, Nicholas Pooran took the responsibility and the West Indies international smacked six all around the park, scoring 62 runs off just 19 deliveries. He also registered the fastest half-century of IPL 2023. However, he too couldn’t finish the job as the responsibility now fell on Ayush Badoni’s shoulder. 

The youngster showed a lot of maturity, scoring 30 off 24 deliveries but unfortunately lost his wicket after his bat hit the stumps while hitting a six. Nevertheless, the Lucknow batters managed to rotate the strike towards the fag end of the match and eventually won the game on the final delivery.
