LSG vs MI highlights IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants beats Mumbai Indians by four wickets

Nabi to bowl the final over. Pooran pushes the ball on the on side and takes a double. Scores level. Pooran finishes with four balls to spare. Comfortable win in the end. LSG wins by four wickets. 

Pandya to bowl the penultimate over. Badoni goes for a double. CLOSE CALL! Badoni dives on return. Not a good take by Ishan there and Badoni might be safe. Third umpire has given OUT! Badoni can’t believe it. Even MI players were not sure. Krunal Pandya at the crease. Three runs in first three balls. Pooran takes a double on the fourth ball towards fine leg. Inside edge and FOUR! Lucky boundary but LSG won’t mind that. 

Coetzee. OUT! Turner is gone, cleaned up on the first ball. Turner is gone for five off nine. Went for a ramp but missed it. Ayush Badoni. Short ball and he plays it fine off the keeper for four. Another four. Another bouncer, top edge goes past deep fine leg fielder. Nine runs and a wicket in that over. 

Bumrah for his last over. LSG batters are in no hurry. One run in first three balls. LSG happy to play out Bumrah. Just one run from the over. 

Thushara is back for his last over. Good over so far. Has attempted yorker on each ball. Slower delivery on the fifth ball beats Pooran who goes for a wild slog. Six runs off the over. 

Nabi for the first time today. Wide on length and Stoins cuts it away for four. Easy pickings. Follows it up with a huge six towards midwicket. In the arc, out of the park. OUT! Stoinis once again tries to slog towards leg but gets caught right at the boundary. 

Pandya is back. OUT! Hooda tries to slog but gets caught at mid off. Third down for LSG. Hooda falls for 18 off 18. Pooran is the new man in. Stoinis takes a single and gets to his fifty in 39 balls. Four runs and a wicket in that over. 

Piyush Chawla. In the slot and Stoinis lofts him straight for four. Seven runs in five balls. Eight runs from the over. 

Bumrah bowling his third over. Looks like a pretty straight chase from here for LSG. Only two runs in first five balls. A single on the last ball. Pretty good over but LSG won’t mind it. 

Coetzee is back. Quiet over so far. Keeping it short and fast. Width on offer and Hooda cuts past point for four to end the over. 

Hardik returns. Hooda has wiped this one to deep square leg for four. Nabi’s desperation can’t stop the ball. Hooda then pulls Hardik for a couple through midwicket. He then punches the ball straight to backward point. No run. Follows it up with a bumper, Hardik. Hooda was quite late to react as he got his face out of the way in time sending the ball to the keeper. Two singles off the last two balls. Eight runs come off this Pandya over. 

Chawla returns. Stoinis sweeps him for four over mid wicket. He sweeps again at a fuller ball from the leggie but this time gets just a single. Hooda runs a single sending the ball through long off with a straight bat. Two runs for Stoinis through deep cover point after a short midjudgement from the fielder there. Hooda tries to send Piyush straight down the ground but hasn’t hit that well, with the ball drifting to the leg side. Just a single. Time for a timeout.

Hardik into the attack. KL Rahul drives off his very first ball and Rohit cuts the ball from crossing the ropes. Two runs. OH AND HE’S GOT THE BREAKTHROUGH. Captain removes captain. Rahul gets too much height on this with the ball headed square and Nabi has completed a brilliant catch at the boundary, so close to the cushions. Rahul gone after an inviting ball heading outside off from Hardik. 

WICKET KL Rahul c Mohammad Nabi b Pandya 28 (22b 3x4 1x6) SR: 127.27

Deepak Hooda is the man in at number 4. Hooda is off the mark with a single through fine leg. Stoinis runs another single, this time through deep cover. Four runs for LSG and a wicket for MI from this over. 

Piyush Chawla into the attack now. Ohh dropped first ball! Tough chance for Hardik to complete at short extra cover. Stoinis is not a great reader of leg spin but Chawla goes straight and Stoinis just brushes the ball away off his pads to send the ball fine to the fence. He;s just trying to see the deliveries through safely here, the Australian. Just five runs from this over for LSG. 

Bumrah finally gets his second. He relies on his slower balls this over. Beats Stoinis a couple of times with his line but Stoinis does manage to send him over the long off fence. An off cutter that is smacked away. Bumrah concedes just the six runs in this over. PowerPlay done. 

Nuwan Thushara returns for his third and KL Rahul finally breaks free. It was a half volley going down leg and Rahul comfortably played off his pads to send this to the ropes. He targets Thushara yet again as he goes over the fielder for SIX. Yet another ball in the slot. Good footwork from Rahul and uses his wrists to get this over deep backward square. ANOTHER FOUR, this time over deep backward point .Too short from Thushara. And he’s not done. ANOTHER FOUR, this time through mid on. Thushara was going for the yorker but fumbles. Made room to hit this to the ropes. 20 runs come off this over for LSG. 

Bumrah doesn’t return. It’s Coetzee who is given the ball. KL Rahul has been crawling in this chase so far and needs to find a way to breakthrough. Not having Bumrah to contend with might be the break he needs. Stoinis starts going a bit aerial and finally finds the boundary with Coetzee going short. He smacks the ball to the square leg fence. And Stoinis goes again, this time through mid wicket. Nice use of the wrists for this one. 15 runs come off this over for LSG. 

Thushara is back and he is frugal. Bowls a wide off his first ball but pulls thing back nicely taking the pace of the ball and sticking to a back of the length rhythm. Just three runs off this over for LSG. 

Bumrah takes charge at the other end. KL Rahul has Marcus Stoinis for company. Bumrah sends a delivery swinging in and Rahul has flicked this for a couple of runs. Bumrah keeps things tight. He ends the over with a yorker but Stoinis dispatches this to the boundary. Bumrah can do nothing but smile. Nice work to neutralise his most potent weapon from the big Aussie. Would have been in trouble if that had hit the pads. 

Arshin Kulkarni is LSG’s impact player in place of Mayank Yadav, while Nuwan Thushara comes in for Suryakumar Yadav. Thushara takes charge of the new ball. Arshin Kulkarni and KL Rahul take strike for LSG. Rahul nudges the ball to deep cover for a single. OH IS THAT A WICKET?Big appeal for leg before wicket. The ball swings and hits him on the pads as he makes a mess of a shot. The review finds the ball going into the middle stump. The debutant Arshin Kulkarni is gone for a golden duck.

WICKET Arshin Kulkarni lbw b Thushara 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0

Mohsin Khan. David pulls and takes a double on the first ball. Lofts the next ball straight and takes another double. Low full, wide and David smacks it towards cover for four. In the air but Mohsin can’t get to the ball. Another double. Half-tracker, absolutely smashed towards square leg for four. David lofts towards midwicket and the batters run a triple!! Terrific last over for MI. 17 runs off it. 

Mayank for his last. OUT! Cleans up Nabi on the first ball. He takes his first wicket after the comeback. And Mayank is off the field. Not sure what happened there but he has gone back to pavillion. 

Naveen to complete the over. Three runs in next four balls. Terrific over for, just four runs off it. 

Mohsin is back. OUT! Yorker on the first ball rattles Wadhera’s stumps. He goes for 46 off 41 balls. Good innings though but equally good ball to get him out. Mohammad Nabi is at the crease. David gets one in the slot and he drives it past cover for four! He follows it up with a SIX picked towards square leg. A dot to end the over. 

Naveen for his third over. Wadhera attempts a reverse sweep and is beaten. A shout for LBW but umpire isn’t interested. LSG has reviewed it though. Pitching outside leg and the decision stays. No ball on the last ball. Wadhera slogs but can only take one run off it. 

Bishnoi again. Wadhera hit him fine of fine leg and gets a boundary. Eight runs in first five balls. David takes a double on the last ball to make it 10. 

Mayank is back. Wadhera slaps him over midwicket for a SIX on the first ball. Brilliant shot. Gets his line right in the next two balls, dots. Now a yorker on fifth stump, another dot. SIX! Tennis shot over square leg! Wadhera somehow manages to time it to perfection. Attempted wide yorker turns into full toss and Wadhera hits it past cover for four. 16 off the over. 

Bishnoi continues. Two runs in three balls. Wadhera sweeps brilliantly towards midwicket and gets a boundary. These two have crossed the fifty-run stand. OUT! Ishan Kishan goes for a slog sweep, gets a leading edge straight to short third. He falls for 32. 

Hooda for his second over now. A quiet over. Just five runs off it. Kishan and Wadhera have taken a bit of control over the innings that was going downhill right at the beginning. 

Bishnoi continues. Alternating between attacking the pads and his signature googlies, there’s a stumping appeal for Ishan Kishan. Ball passes close to the bat, there’s no bat involved. Foot is behind the line. Ishan survives. Just three runs come off the over. 

Deepak Hooda with the ball now. Playing to the matchups. Right arm spin to two left arm batters here. Where is Krunal Pandya? After four singles where he goes into the leftie, Ishan finally swings away to send the ball flying through midwicket for four. 

Bishnoi into the attack. A quiet start for Ishan but he then manages to strike the ball almost through the umpire down the ground four four. ALL FALL DOWN, Bishnoi falls, umpires falls. He then employs the googly and beats Wadhera twice. Eight runs off the over in total. 

Mayank Yadav returns. Ishan Kishan swats the ball to deep midwicket and Ashton Turner has squandered the ball. Would have been a good catch, but dropped. LIFELINE FOR KISHAN. Mayank strays beyond the tramlines and a wide is called. After a few dots, Ishan eases the pressure with a boundary over mid off. FOUR. Thumped with a flat bat. He follows that with a single through point. Eight runs come off this Mayank Yadav over. 

Naveen ul Haq returns for his second. The pair rotates strike with Naveen deploying his slower balls to try and draw an error from the MI duo. Wadhera then gets the ball through midwicket and the pair run a quick two. Dot balls to follow with the second one rising up on Wadhera who arches back to avoid impact. Kishan manages to nudge the ball away from the wicket, Naveen collects and ensures a run isn’t conceded with a run out threat. 

Mayank Yadav is here with the ball in his hand. Starts with a 144.1 kmph ripper that hits Ishan Kishan on the helmet. Ishan is okay, gets the customary physio check. Stays with his outside off line but switches up his lengths here Mayank. But Ishan is staying cautious. He eventually oversteps. Free hit to Mumbai Indians. After seeing through the second worst PowerPlay score this season, MI needs to use these chances. Mayank concedes another extra, wide for height. Wadhera the batter. Mayank has been a bit rusty here today. Slows down and it’s gone a little high again as Wadhera reaches for it. Umpire signals for the bouncer but Wadhera wants to review for a wide. Replays show the ball passing below the helmet line and within the tram lines. Mumbai loses the review. Wasted. Wadhera then manages to smack the ball through mid off for four. Beats a diving Pooran too and Suryakumar Yadav applauds from the dugout, impressed. Mayank then goes to a back of a length ball that goes into the batter. Wadhera defends. Eight runs come off the over. 

Naveen Ul Haq will round out the PowerPlay and he strikes on the very first ball. It starts out as an lbw appeal. Bishnoi collects the ball at backward point and sends it to the batter’s end, hitting the stump. TILAK IS RUN OUT. TROUBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE for MI. Oh wait, it gets worse! HARDIK ALSO GOES, FIRST BALL.

Hardik has knicked a ball that straightens and KL Rahul does the rest. OUT! Naveen on a hattrick. Nehal Wadhera is the new batter and survives the hattrick ball. 

WICKETS Hardik Pandya c †Rahul b Naveen-ul-Haq 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0, Tilak Varma run out (Ravi Bishnoi) 7 (11b 1x4 0x6) SR: 63.63

Naveen has used his deviations well here and gives away just the one run. LSG closes out the PowerPlay with another good showing with the ball. T he side has taken 18 wickets in the first six overs this season. Imperious.

Stoinis returns. KL Rahul wants to maximise the swing he’s managing to get. Sends one slower to Tilak who is beaten by the lack of pace. He then goes short and that was what Tilak wanted. One bounce four over point. Stoinis pulls his length back and Tilak nudges the ball away for a dot. Stoinis then beats Tilak in the air yet again. The ball straightens and Tilak has no room. Five runs come off the over. 

Mohsin to continue from the other end. A single through mid on off a fuller delivery from Mohsin for Ishan. Couple of dots with Mohsin testing Tilak with one even going above him to the keeper. Mohsin cramps Tilak for space and bowls into him, not allowing him to squeeze the ball out for runs. A challenging passage of play for one side in blue. Finishes off the over with a yorker that has Kishan scrambling. Just two runs come off the over. Nice work from LSG so far. 

Stoinis returns. Surya despatches him for a massive six over square leg. WHAT A SHOT. Stoinis then opts for a back of a length delivery angled into leg. Surya runs three with the ball racing through midwicket. Ishan then runs a single through deep backward square. Oh and then we have an appeal with Surya seemingly knicking the ball to the keeper. Umpire calls it a wide and KL Rahul reviews this immediately. VINDICATED. Replays show that the ball brushed Surya’s gloves and went to KL who completes a clean catch. Huge wicket this. 

WICKET Suryakumar Yadav c †Rahul b Stoinis 10 (6b 0x4 1x6) SR: 166.66

Tilak Verma is the new batter in. Early pressure for MI in a match they HAVE to win to stay alive in the tournament. 

Mohsin Khan shares the new ball. Rohit scoops the ball over the keeper’s head for FOUR. Oh but the birthday boy will not do anything further as Mohsin Khan has the India captain. Drives the ball but Stoinis takes a lovely catch at short extra cover. 

WICKET Rohit Sharma c Stoinis b Mohsin Khan 4 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80

Suryakumar Yadav is the new batter. Six runs come off the over in total. 

Marcus Stoinis will open the bowling for LSG. After a dot in the first ball, Stoinis bowls a wide off the second delivery. LSG wastes a review in trying to revise that call. Tight field to these openers and enough safeguards in fine leg and deep point to contain any shots that run away thanks to the pace of the ball. Just two runs from the over. Good start for the home side.
