Right then, that is it from this absolute run fest where Lucknow Super Giants just got the better of Kolkata Knight Riders by a small margin of 4 runs. But you don't go anywhere, as it is a doubleheader today in the IPL, and the second game is already underway, which is the battle of the Kings as Punjab Kings take on the Chennai Super Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur. You can just switch tabs to enjoy all the coverage of the match. Cheers!
Ravi Bishnoi will bowl the last over. He has to defend 23 runs here, but good thing for him is that Rinku Singh is off strike.
Avesh Khan to bowl the penultimate over and KKR need 38 runs off the last two overs.
Harshit Rana is the next man in. He will be facing the hat-trick ball.
Rinku Singh comes out to the middle now.
STRATEGIC BREAK! This match is hanging in between for now as LSG have made a good comeback because of the last couple of overs. KKR needs 66 runs in the last five overs, and they have their vice-captain at the crease, Venkatesh Iyer, who is well set and looking in good form. LSG needs to chip in more wickets to put more pressure on the batters of KKR as they have done it in the last two overs, which have gone for 11 runs only, and they picked two key wickets also. An interesting last passage of play is ahead of us, and with that, Andre Russell comes out to bat now.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi comes out to bat in the middle now. Also, Avesh Khan comes back into the attack.
Ramandeep Singh has got a promotion here as he comes out to bat at number five for KKR. Also, Ravi Bishnoi (2-0-24-0) comes back into the attack.
Another change, as Shardul Thakur replaces Avesh Khan. Meanwhile, the skipper, Rishabh Pant, is getting some treatment from the physio for his back. He looks in pain here and has taken a pill. Now, he is fine to continue.
Change of ends for Digvesh Singh as he comes back into the attack.
Halt. The physio has come out to check on Venkatesh Iyer, as he seems to have hurt his left foot while playing his last shot. He is fine to continue further.
Avesh Khan (1-0-17-0) comes back into the attack.
Venkatesh Iyer comes out to the middle now.
Strategic Break! Chasing such a big score, Kolkata Knight Riders have got the start they wanted in the Powerplay, losing only a wicket. However, the difficulty for them will be that they need to continue like this till the end, even with the field restrictions getting lifted now. They will need at least one of Sunil Narine or Ajinkya Rahane to play a big knock while the others around them can go for the big hits. Lucknow Super Giants needed this break to halt the momentum of the batters, and we have seen on many occasions that the batting team tends to lose a wicket right after the break. The visitors will be hoping for that here, and their spin duo will be crucial in deciding this encounter. Also, Digvesh Singh to bowl after the break.
Avesh Khan comes into the attack now.
This over of Shardul Thakur has been expensive with the addition of too many extra balls in the form of wides.
Halt. David Miller seems to have hurt himself in trying to collect the ball there. The physio of LSG has come out to check on him for the concussion. He looks okay to continue further.
The skipper of KKR, Ajinkya Rahane, has come out to bat at number three.
Shardul Thakur will bowl from this other end.
