As Lucknow Super Giants overcame Mumbai Indians by 5 runs to remain alive in the IPL 2023 playoffs race and kill MI’s dreams of finishing in the top two spots in the points table, Mohsin Khan held on to 11 runs in the last over. Marcus Stoinis scored 89 runs in 47 balls to enable LSG reach 177/3. In response, the five-time IPL champions could only muster 172/5.
Tim David scored 32 runs off 19 balls, but his team was unable to win because Mohsin maintained his composure and held on to 11 runs in the last over. The LSG pacer made the difference after Naveen-ul-Haq gave up 19 runs in the last over, which shifted the tide in Mumbai’s favor.
Earlier, Yash Thakur took two wickets, while Ravi Bishnoi also claimed a few victims, helping to contain MI when they exploded out of the gate. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma put up a 90-run partnership, but once again, their death bowling paid them dearly.
Marcus Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi Star as Lucknow Super Giants Beat Mumbai Indians in a Thriller in the LSG vs. MI Highlights
As a result of Jason Behrendroff’s two strikes in one over to get rid of Deepak Hooda and Prerak Mankad early, Rohit’s bowlers amply justified his earlier choice to bat first.
Quinton de Kock was bowled by Piyush Chawla after 16 runs, but Krunal Pandya, the LSG captain, played a crucial role with the bat by smashing 49 runs in 42 balls to calm the ship.
When Nicholas Pooran replaced Stoinis in the middle after Pandya was forced to retire injured, the Australian all-rounder was in explosive form. Stoinis crushed an unbeaten 89-run innings to lead his team to a respectable total, hitting 56 runs in the final three overs.
When the Mumbai Indians openers were removed, their team entirely lost the energy that Rohit and Ishan had provided. David’s ferocious hitting kept his team in the game, but ultimately they fell short by 5 runs and their Achilles heel, the death bowling, once again wounded the record IPL champions.
