Best match in the Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants head-to-head

Back on April 10, the Royals beat the Super Giants by only three runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With the Super Giants needing 15 runs to win off the last over, Marcus Stoinis played a couple of big shots, but an over outstanding over from Kuldeep Sen took the Royals past the finish line.

Here is a look at how the match unfolded:

After batting first, the Royals put up a decent score of 165 for the loss of six wickets on the board. Shimron Hetmyer played a critical role after he scored 59 runs off 36 balls with the help of one four and as many as six sixes.

Hetmyer’s knock came at a crucial stage after the Royals found themselves at 67 for the loss of four wickets in 9.5 overs. Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson and Rassie van der Dussen failed to make much of an impact with the bat in hand.

Hetmyer and Ravi Ashwin put on 68 runs for the fifth wicket to help the Royals make a comeback after a nervous start. Ashwin scored 28 runs off 23 balls before retiring out in the penultimate over. Riyan Parag came and hit a six before Jason Holder accounted for his wicket.

The Super Giants found themselves in all sorts of trouble after Trent Boult dismissed KL Rahul and Krishnappa Gowtham for ducks. Holder batted at No.3 without much success before Prasidh Krishna removed him.

Krunal Pandya chipped in with a handy knock of 22 off 15 before Yuzvendra Chahal rattled his woodwork. In the death overs, the onus was on Marcus Stoinis to take the Super Giants past the finish line.

Stoinis stayed unbeaten on 38 runs off 17 balls with two fours and four sixes, but it was not enough for LSG to secure victory. Dushmantha Chameera, who is not a part of the ongoing IPL, scored 13 runs off seven balls.

Yuzvendra Chahal gave away 41 runs, but picked up four crucial wickets of Quinton de Kock, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, and Chameera. The tweaker went on to win the Player of the Match award for his impressive spell of bowling.

After losing both their matches at the hands of the Royals last year, can the Super Giants turn their fortunes around? The task won’t be easy, but LSG can’t be undermined either.
