RR vs. LSG
Two days after failing to chase nine runs in the final over against Delhi Capitals (DC), Rajasthan Royals (RR) once more collapsed against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Sanju Samson-led side were once up two-nil with three matches left but have fallen from grace, leaving them languishing at the bottom half of points table.
LSG overcame an initially slow start as Mitchell Marsh made his maiden TATA IPL hundred and Nicholas Pooran notched up an outstanding 27-ball 56* to lead their 121-run stand that propelled LSG to 235/2 after 20 overs.
Replying, RR continued their batting struggles as Ayush Badoni and Ravi Bishnoi both fell cheaply due to poor shot selection. Only 14-year-old debutant Vaibhav Suryavanshi showed some resistance by hitting an early six and going on to score 34 runs off 28 balls in rapid fashion.
Shimron Hetmyer was swiftly sent packing by Avesh Khan before Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan began unleashing their fury upon their top order batsmen, leaving only Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan standing to defend.
As Avesh Khan struck again for an over-throw from Shimron Hetmyer’s bat in response, Avesh Khan made sure no visitors’ top order could recover before shattering it entirely with his strikes on Avesh Khan’s off-strikes on Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan smashing their batsmen were quickly reduced as Shimron Hetmyer dismissed from within an over.
The duo affixed 68 runs in five overs, scoring sixes and fours to bring GT’s equation down to 71 runs off 10 overs – until Avesh returned and took Gill (35) wicket with an incredible diving catch by Abdul Samad running in from long-off.
At that stage, GT lost momentum as Hetmyer was bowled by Prince, while Sherfane Rutherford was run out with an mistimed pull at deep midwicket and run-out by Avesh from a mistimed pull at deep midwicket was enough for them to secure victory by seven runs – dealing a huge blow to GT’s hopes of qualifying as they remain with only two wins from their remaining five matches and just above relegation battles with Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians; additionally they have yet to win one home this season!
