Lucknow Super Giants Stun Gujarat Titans in Thrilling Chase with Last-Over Victory

In a nail-biting encounter, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pulled off a remarkable 4-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT), chasing down a challenging target of 181 with three balls to spare at the end of the 19.3 overs.

 

Aiden Markram laid the foundation for the chase with a commanding knock of 58 off just 31 balls, smashing 9 fours and a six, while Nicholas Pooran provided the fireworks in the middle overs with a blistering 61 off 34 balls, featuring 1 boundary and 7 sixes. Ayush Badoni added a crucial 28* to steer the team home, despite losing partners at regular intervals.

 

GT’s bowling attack, led by Prasidh Krishna (2/26), tried to keep things tight, but couldn’t contain the LSG batters. Washington Sundar also chipped in with 2 wickets, yet the lack of support from others proved costly.

 

Earlier, GT had posted a solid 180/6 in their 20 overs, but it wasn’t enough to hold off a determined LSG side. The win adds crucial points for Lucknow in the standings, keeping their playoff hopes alive in the tournament.
