Lucknow Super Giants scored 210/0 runs in their 20 overs after batting first. That was sensational from de Kock who has steamrolled the KKR attack on a pitch that doesn’t look like the most conducive for strokeplay. You wouldn’t have been able to say that though watching him bat. Absolute carnage at the end there. 61 runs were plundered off the last three overs, and that assault may have taken the game out of KKR’s reach. He was given a life early in his innings and man hasn’t he made them pay for it. Be it pace or spin de Kock smashed everything. And with that he might’ve smashed KKR’s hopes of staying alive. Quinton de Kock scored 140* runs of 70 balls and Skipper KL Rahul scored 68* runs of 51 balls. No any bowlers picks any wickets.
Innings Break!
What a show #LSG openers put up with the bat. Post a formidable total of 210/0.#KKR chase coming up shortly.

Kolkata Knight Riders unable to chased the target and scored 208/8 in their 20 overs and lost the game by just 2 runs. Phew! What-a-game!! Certainly wasn’t for the faint-hearted, this encounter. So many ebbs and flows, so many momentum shifts and at the end of it all, LSG are home by the narrowest of margins. The target always seemed a stiff one for this surface, but KKR never gave up. When they lost their openers early, Rana and Iyer stepped up. Billings also chipped in and at the halfway mark, the chase was well and truly on. But then LSG’s defending skills came to the fore with the run rate being squeezed. Wickets started tumbling and once Russell fell, you thought surely, KKR were down for the count. Enter Rinku Singh and along with Narine, made a game out of it from nowhere. 61 were needed off 19, it came down to 21 off the last over, and Rinku made it 3 off 2. Surely, KKR would have fancied getting home from there. But that line catches win matches isn’t without a reason you know. Lewis grabbed an absolute screamer to send Rinku back and then Stoinis held his nerve to see LSG through. A T20 classic for the ages, this clash. Skipper Shreyas Iyer scored 50 runs of 29 balls and Nitish Rana score 42 runs of 22 balls. For LSG, Mohsin Khan & Stoinis picks 3 wickets each.
WHAT. A. GAME !!@LucknowIPL clinch a thriller by 2 runs.
