LSG were asked to chase down a tall 213 runs and the side incredibly chased it down with Pooran and Marcus Stoinis delivering the goods. It also saw half-centuries by RCB stars Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Maxwell go to waste. Maxwell also marked his return to form after struggles with an injury early in the year.
However, all the drama unfolded in the last five overs of the match starting with Pooran firing the second-fastest half-century of IPL history. The Caribbean southpaw took just 15 balls for the season’s fastest fifty but threw away his wicket right at the death to hand RCB a last shot at victory.
It was followed by a melee in the middle of the park that saw Ayush Badoni hit the wicket right after placing an incredible six behind the stumps off Wayne Parnell. Changing a deserving 1 run off 8 balls to an ask of seven runs with seven wickets down nervy predicament.
The victory eventually came to LSG off the final ball of the match as Harshal Patel bowled his heart out and also enforced a Super Over. This included two wickets and a missed non-striker-end run out opportunity followed by a fumble behind the stumps by the very experienced Dinesh Karthik; resulting in Avesh Khan’s winning run of a dramatic bye!
