Mohsin Khan picked up a five-wicket haul. Kolkata Knight Riders were reduced to 93 for 7, but they finished with 155 for 7, thanks to Rinku Singh’s 51-ball 83 not out. Lucknow Super Giants were in no hurry in the chase, meaning they had a lot to do in the back end, needing to score over 12 an over in the last five.
LSG’s lower order responded with a fighting performance that forced the game into a Super Over. But the home team lost steam in the closing stage, managing only a solitary run in the Super Over bowled by Sunil Narine.
KKR’s hero of the night, Rinku, aptly finished it off with a boundary, securing KKR’s second win and pushing LSG to the bottom of the table.
