Lucknow Super Giants, who started the day with a strong batting performance to post a huge total of 238 on the board, finished the day with a clinical bowling performance to stop Kolkata Knight Riders on 234 at Eden Gardens in match number 21 of IPL 2025, to win the match by 5 runs and secure their second successive win of the season.
Earlier, KKR won the toss and invited LSG to bat first, who accepted the decision with open arms and added 99 runs for the first wicket before Harshit Rana gave KKR their first breakthrough by removing Aiden Markram (47). Mitchell Marsh (81) continued to strike from one end and added 81 runs for the second wicket with Nicholas Pooran before losing his wicket to Andre Russell. Abdul Samad (6) failed to score big again and was next to depart off Harshit Rana. However, Orange Cap holder Nicholas Pooran continued to attack from one end and remained unbeaten on 87 as LSG finished their innings with 238 for 3 on the board.
In reply, KKR started well and added 37 runs for the first wicket before Akash Deep trapped Quinton de Kock (15) in front of the wicket. Sunil Narine then scored a quickfire 30 before falling to Digvesh Rathi. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (61) kept KKR alive in the chase before losing his wicket to a loose ball from Shardul Thakur.
Ravi Bishnoi removed big hitter Ramandeep Singh (1) cheaply to pull the match back in LSG’s favour. Impact player Angkrish Raghuvanshi (5) failed to do much today and fell to Avesh Khan as LSG continued to tighten their grip on the match. KKR was then dealt a huge blow by Akash Deep, who got the better of a dangerous-looking Venkatesh Iyer (45).
Andre Russell (7) tried to go big from the get-go but fell short and lost his wicket to Shardul Thakur. Rinku Singh (38 not out) and Harshit Rana (10 not out) tried to take their team over the line but eventually fell short, as KKR finished their innings at 234 for 7 and lost the game by 5 runs.
