The action now moves to Lucknow, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium on Friday, 23rd May. But as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

Mitchell Marsh says it has been a long journey for him as he first played for the Deccan Chargers in IPL. Adds that he has enjoyed opening the batting, and Aiden Markram has helped him on the other end as well. Mentions that it has not been a great season as they cannot make the finals, but they wanted to do well in these last two games. Says that in T20s when you are 10 from 10, it is panic stations, but it was good to take some time to asses the conditions, and that helped him to settle and go big. Tells that every team in this competition comes with a mindset of winning, and anyone can beat anyone, that is why it is the best in the world

Rishabh Pant, the victorious skipper of Lucknow Super Giants, says that he is feeling delighted with the way they played good cricket as a team. Highlights that there was a time in the tournament where they had the chances to qualify, but they slipped and feel that's the part and parcel of the game. Mentions about learning and getting better from here. Says coming into the tournament, there were a lot of injury concerns for them. Adds the way Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran batted was great. Admits that they made some lapses in the fielding and concludes by saying it's all about learning and moving forward.

Presentation Time...

Will O'Rourke of Lucknow Super Giants is up for a quick chat. He says that it was a lot of fun out there. Adds that when they put 240 on the board, it was always going to be difficult for them. Mentions that the batters were hitting the hard lengths, so he took a leaf out of their game, and says you have to be flexible in T20. Says that he is drenched in sweat and is still adjusting to the conditions and heat. Ends by saying that they have a great crew, both Indians and overseas boys.

The captain of Gujarat Titans, Shubman Gill, reflects that they gave away 15-20 extra runs and were expecting to stop LSG around 210-220. But admits that conceding 235 was a bit too much. Feels that they bowled well in the powerplay, but couldn't get any wickets. On the match situation in the chase, he mentions that they were right in the game until the 16th or the 17th over. Appreciates Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford for batting bravely. On their last league game against CSK, he concludes by saying that it will be important for them to get the winning momentum back.

Lucknow Super Giants struck early with the big wicket of Sai Sudharsan, courtesy of Will O'Rourke. However, on a pitch that heavily favoured the batters, they ended up conceding quite a few. The injury to Akash Singh didn’t help their cause either, but he came back to remove Jos Buttler. The middle overs proved challenging, with the game slipping away from them for a while. But it was O'Rourke once again who turned things around, removing both Rutherford and Tewatia in the same over to wrest back control. Shahbaz Ahamad bowled a tidy spell and picked up one, while Badoni chipped in late with a couple of wickets to wrap things up.

Earlier in the game, Lucknow Super Giants piled on a massive total, smashing 17 sixes and 17 fours in the process. Mitchell Marsh set the tone with a sensational century, while Nicholas Pooran chipped in with a blazing fifty. Handy contributions from Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant added to the carnage. For Gujarat Titans, Arshad Khan and Sai Kishore were the only ones to pick up wickets, but overall, it was a tough day with the ball as their bowling unit proved to be quite expensive.

Gujarat Titans, as usual, got off to a flying start but lost Sai Sudharsan early. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler then came together to steady things for a while, but their dismissals in quick succession put Gujarat on the back foot. Just when things looked shaky, Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan stepped up, putting together a solid 86-run partnership that brought them right back into the contest. As long as the duo was at the crease, Gujarat seemed in control. However, once Rutherford departed, the tide turned sharply. Despite Shahrukh reaching a well-deserved fifty, he too succumbed to the pressure in the end, as Gujarat fell short in the chase.

Lucknow Super Giants have finally snapped their losing streak! They've completed the double over Gujarat Titans, and it certainly didn’t come easy. The batters laid the foundation with a strong performance, and while the bowlers did take some punishment, they held their nerve in the crucial moments to see the team through to a hard-fought win.

Sai Kishore comes out to the middle now.
