KKR Defeat LSG via Super Over in Thrilling IPL Clash

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a dramatic Super Over finish after both teams ended level on 155 in a low-scoring IPL thriller.

Chasing a modest target of 156, LSG suffered a major batting collapse but somehow managed to tie the match in the final moments. No. 9 batter Mohammed Shami smashed a last-ball six off a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who conceded 16 runs in the final over to push the game into a Super Over.

Narine’s Super Over Magic

In the Super Over, KKR spinner Sunil Narine produced a match-winning spell, conceding just one run and picking up two wickets, leaving LSG with almost no chance.

Rinku Singh then calmly finished the chase by hitting a boundary off the very first ball from Prince Yadav, sealing a dominant win for KKR.

Rinku Singh’s Rescue Act

Earlier in the innings, KKR were struggling at 93/7 in 15 overs. Rinku Singh played a sensational unbeaten knock of 83 off 51 balls, smashing four consecutive sixes in the final over to take KKR to 155/7.

Cameron Green contributed 34 runs, but KKR’s innings was otherwise dominated by a batting collapse. Mohsin Khan starred with the ball, picking up a five-wicket haul (5/23).

LSG Collapse Continues

In response, LSG once again failed to build momentum and suffered their fifth consecutive defeat of the season, continuing a worrying batting form slump.
