Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujrat Titans Live Score Updates: Lucknow Super Giants’ spirited chase came to an end as clinical Gujarat Titans outplayed them in match 51 of the Indian Premier League today. Though Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock gave a solid start to the Super Giants thanks to their error-free cricket. At one point, the usual spin attack by Rashid Khan and Md Shami were not able to deter the LSG batters. At that time, LSG’s run rate was much above the asking rate. But Mohit Sharma ended the first wicket stand and sent Mayers packing. Shami’s second spell got the wicket of Deepak Hooda. Marcus Stoinis could have been the right ally for de Kock in this chase but that didn’t happen as Mohit Sharma took his wicket. De Kock was probably only hope for LSG but ace spin attack by Rashid Khan got him. Later, we saw Noor Ahmed sending back Nicolas Pooran. Mohit Sharma picked up two quick wickets of Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya.
Earlier in the day, Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and stand-in skipper Krunal Pandya asked Gujarat Titans to bat first. Krunal must be wondering if he took the right decision or not! There were some heart-touching scenes before the toss between him and brother Hardik. But on filed, Titans were in murderous mood today! Wriddhiman Saha, who got his form back in the last match vs RR, continued the super show today. His 12th half-century came from just 20 deliveries and no LSG bowler could stop him today. But finally, LSG’s Avesh Khan picked up that much-needed wicket of Wriddhiman Saha! The GT opener departed for 81. The cameo by skipper Hardik Pandya kept run flowing for home team. But LSG‘s Mohin sent him packing! GT’s run rate was between 9 and 13 throughout. While Saha’s super show helped GT to post the best power play total ever, Gill’s stunning 94 not out got GT in hunt for 220+ score. The final score stood at 227.
This match of ongoing IPL tournament was extra special. This was the first time that two brothers were captaining the two teams against each other. When asked about how his family felt, Krunal Pandya joked that his mother said that it didn’t matter which side win, two points are coming to ‘home’. This was the second time that the two teams faced each other in IPL 2023. During the last encounter, GT had won the match by seven runs. Krunal was leading the LSG squad today due to absence of regular skipper KL Rahul.
