However, LSG managed to turn the tide when Yash Thakur dismissed Gill in the sixth over. Kane Williamson’s entry as an Impact Player was short-lived, as Ravi Bishnoi claimed his wicket in the eighth over.
LSG’s spinners added pressure on GT, leading to crucial wickets. Krunal Pandya’s dismissal of Sudharsan and the debutant BR Sharath’s departure further weakened GT’s position.
Despite a brief resistance from Rahul Tewatia, LSG’s bowlers, especially Thakur, dominated the proceedings. Thakur’s exceptional bowling performance, including a maiden TATA IPL fifer, sealed LSG’s victory.
Earlier in the match, LSG opted to bat first after winning the toss. Despite losing early wickets, a crucial partnership between KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis stabilized their innings.
Stoinis played aggressively, scoring 58 runs off 43 balls, supported by contributions from Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni towards the end.
Pooran’s three sixes in the final overs propelled LSG’s total to over 160 runs.
Despite GT’s strong start in their chase, LSG’s disciplined bowling attack and Thakur’s remarkable performance ensured their victory.
This win not only marked a significant milestone for LSG but also showcased their ability to bounce back from previous defeats and secure a crucial win in the tournament.
