Lucknow. The 43rd league match of the 16th season of IPL was definitely low scoring but the fans got to see the excitement in the match completely. In this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore equalized their previous defeat against Lucknow Super Giants and won the match by 18 runs. Chasing the target of 127 runs, the Lucknow team was reduced to a score of 108 in 19.5 overs. Karn Sharma and Hazlewood made 2-2 names in bowling for RCB.

Due to an injury to captain KL Rahul while fielding, Ayush Badoni was sent to open the chase for Lucknow with Kyle Mayers. RCB gave the first blow to Lucknow on a score of zero in the form of Kyle Meyers who returned to the pavilion without opening the account. After this, Lucknow got another blow on the score of 19 in the form of Krunal Pandya, who was caught by Kohli on a personal score of 14 in an attempt to play a big shot against Glenn Maxwell.

From here everyone expected that the Lucknow team would bat a little cautiously. But this was not to be seen and the next blow to the team was Ayush Badoni’s score of 21 and then the fourth blow in the form of Deepak Hooda’s score of 27. The Lucknow team managed to reach the score of 34 runs in the first 6 overs at the loss of 4 wickets.

After losing the initial 4 quick wickets, it seemed very difficult for the Lucknow team to make a comeback in this match. The team got the 5th blow in the form of Nicholas Pooran who returned to the pavilion after scoring 9 runs. After this, there was a partnership of 27 runs in 22 balls for the sixth wicket between Marcus Stoinis and Krishnappa Gautam.

On the basis of this partnership, the Lucknow team made a slight comeback in the match. But with Marcus Stoinis returning to the pavilion on 65, RCB completely turned the match in their favor. After this, Lucknow lost Krishnappa Gautam for 66 and then Ravi Bishnoi for 77.

The Lucknow team was reduced to scoring 108 runs in this match and had to face defeat by 18 runs. In bowling for RCB, Karn Sharma and Josh Hazlewood took 2-2 while Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Wanindu Hasaranga and Glenn Maxwell took 1-1 wickets.
