IPL 2023: LSG defends 154, gets thrilling win over RR in last over
Rajasthan Royals shared an 87-run opening partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler but Avesh Khan’s 3/25 and Marcus Stoinis’ 2/28 helped Lucknow Super Giants win by 10 runs on Wednesday. Despite Kyle Mayer scoring 51, Rajasthan bundled out Lucknow for 154/7.
Till the 11th over, Rajasthan had lost no wickets and looked to be heading towards the target, but Stoinis dismissed both the openers to turn the match in favor of Lucknow. Rajasthan lost four wickets for 32 runs in overs 12-17.
The Lucknow bowlers stopped the pace of Rajasthan’s runs and the asking run rate went up significantly, due to which Rajasthan were reduced to 144/6 in 20 overs. The win has helped Lucknow Super Giants retain their second position in the points table.
