IPL GT vs LSG Match Summary

The chase did not start well for the Giants as they lost opener Shubman Gill in the first over and also lost Vijay Shankar soon. Hardik Pandya and Matthew Wade built a 57 run stand and gave some momentum to the chase before both of them were cleaned up quickly by spinners. Gujarat Titans needed 67 off the last five overs and it was then that Tewatia and Miller teed off and got the team to needing just 21 off 15 balls before their stand was broken. 

In the end, with 11 needed off the last 6, Abhinav Sadaeangani and Tewatia did it in style. 

Earlier in the evening, after being asked to bat first, Lucknow Super Giants were in all sorts of bother at 29-4 in the first five overs before Deepak Hooda and debutant Ayush Badoni hit the fifties and with the help of a useful contribution with the bat from Krunal Pandya, took the LSG to 158/6 in their quota of 20 overs, Mohammed Shami picked three wickets for the Titans

11:26 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 161-5 after 19.4 overs, Gujarat Titans win

 
Avesh Khan comes to bowl the last over and he has 10 runs to defend
 
Four!! Pressure? What pressure says Sadarangani as he hits the length ball from Avesh for four and now just 7 needed off 5
 
Four!! Boy, what is he made up of? No doubt that it is poor bowling from Avesh Khan to keep going length but Sadarangani has just creamed it for dour past sweeper cover 
 
Short ball from Avesh Khan and a single only. That's some reprieve. It was always the right length to bowl, a slower bounder but now it is surely too late for it now 
 
Four!! Rahul Tewatia has played a beautiful drive off a short of a full-length ball and he takes the game for Gujarat Titans and once again, it is the chasing team that wins the match
11:20 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 148-5 after 19 overs, 11 off 6 needed

 
20 needed off two and it is Abhinav Sadarangani on the strike and Dushmanatha Chameera will bowl it. 
 
Four!! Poor from Chameera to bowl full after having his mid-off and mid-on in the 30-yard circle. But credit to Abhinav as he hit it straight down the ground 
 
16 off 10 now and yet another slower one and just one-off this one. Now 15 off 9 needed 
 
Dot ball!! That right here is gold dust here from Chameera. It was a length ball and could have been hit for a six or four but instead gets away with it 
 
Four!! Chameera runs out of his luck now as it was full, outside off, and wide off Tewatia and still, the left-hander gets an edge and gets it finer from short third and for a four.  
11:12 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 138-5 after 17.3 overs, Miller gone

 
Six!! Avesh Khan comes into the attack and he has been launched for a six on a slower ball. Why is a fast bowler bowling two slow balls in a row? This is poor from Lucknow and it has been poor since the last two overs 
 
Wicket!! Well, this was way outside off and hit straight to KL Rahul at mid-off and he juggles and takes it in the second attempt. And it seems that the match is not over yet. Miller c Rahul b Avesh for 30
11:07 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 130-4 after 16 overs, 17 from the over

 
Six!! Tewatia has reverse swept this for a six !! You have read that right, reverse swept for a six is what it is and now the required runs come down to 40 off 23 balls. 
 
Ravi Bishnoi is under the pump here and has bowled a wide and this is a great save down the leg from Quinton de Kock. 
 
Four!! Poor bowling and timid approach from Bishnoi as after being reverse swept off the googly, he has gone back to leg spinner and you can't bowl that to left-handers. 
 
Four once again. I can't understand what brains he is using here because he is bowling leg-breaks continuously to left-handers and getting hit for four. 17 come from this over. Gujarat now need just 29 off the last three
11:02 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 113-4 after 15 overs, 22 off the over

 
The Gujarat Titans needed 68 off the last five and Deepak Hooda was given the ball against the left-handers being an off-spinner. However, he has been smoked here. First Tewatia hit a six off the very first ball to deep mid-wicket and then hit a four straight down the ground
 
And now miller comes into the action. That has been swept for a four to deep fine leg 
 
Six!! oh KL Rahul, what have you done here. The spinner should have never been given the over. Into the zone and Killer Miller comes alive and now hits it to the deep mid-wicket boundary for six. 22 off the over
10:55 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 91-4 after 15 overs, Bishnpoi keeps it tight

 
There is dew on the ground and it is clearly evident from the fact that Ravi Bishnoi is drying the ball by the inside of his track pocket which is a dry product. 
 
So far only three runs have come off the first five balls of the over as both the left-handers, Tewatia and Miller are unable to get the hang of the ball and hit it big
10:52 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 88-4 after 14 overs, Time out

 
With Rashid Khan the only recognized batter to come now, the Gujarat Titans really have no other option but to stretch this game as much as possible. They are currently 88/4 and need 70 off the last six overs. It is not impossible, definitely not after what we saw in the last two games and with Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals winning it after losing four wickets early. But the question is, can Miller and Tewatia do it?

10:46 PM

IPL 2022 GT vs LSG Live Score | GT 83-4 after 13 overs, Krunal finishes his spell

 
The wicket brings yet another left-hander here and it is Rahul Tewatia. Known for his big-hitting, Tewatia wasn't given the ball during Gujarat's bowling which was weird by all means. But now he has the bat in hand and he can surely wield the willow. But can he do it is the question? Time will tell soon
 
For the time being, a very fine spell from Krunal Pandya comes to an end as he finishes with 1-17 in his four.
