LSG vs GT, IPL 2024 Highlights: Yash Thakur guides Lucknow Super Giants to third successive win

Yash Thakur takes the first five-wicket haul of the IPL 2024 as Gujarat Titans innings collapse on just 130.

LSG - 163/5 in 20 overs.

GT - 130/10 in 18.5 overs.

Lucknow Super Giants beat Gujarat Titans by 33 runs.

The wickets continue to fall for the Gujarat Titans as they have now lost their 8th for 48 runs and Naveen ul Haq has gotten his first wicket of the match with Umesh Yadav hitting straight into the hands of Quinton de Kock at long on.

Yash Thakur has gotten his second wicket as Vijay Shankar has edged it straight to the keeper KL Rahul.

Gujarat Titans' innings has taken a massive downward spiral with five wickets going down in not much time and Krunal Pandya has been at the centre of that collapse. Can GT come back?

Gujarat Titans have lost the plot in the last three overs with four wickets going down for not a lot. After Bishnoi and Yash Thakur, Krunal Pandya has taken two wickets in one over getting Sai Sudharsan and BR Sharath to leave GT reeling as their innings has suddenly gone pear-shaped.

Ravi Bishnoi has plucked a catch out of thin air to get a second wicket for the Lucknow Super Giants in quick succession as the impact player Kane Williamson hit towards the bowler and the leg-spinner stretched his right hand while flinging himself towards his right to hold on to a sensational catch.

Yash Thakur gets the big wicket of Gujarat Titans skipper Yash Thakur in relief for the Lucknow Super Giants. Gill and Sai Sudharsan were taking the game away from Lucknow and Yash has just raised Lucknow's hope.

A 50-run opening stand between Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan helped the Gujarat Titans get a good start chasing a rather middling total of just 164 runs.

Nicholas Pooran struggled to finish strong for Lucknow Super Giants as Spencer Johnson bowled three dot balls and conceded just 8 runs in the last over.

Lucknow Super Giants - 163/5 in 20 overs.

Nicholas Pooran scored 32* off 22 balls. 

Ayush Badoni has departed too in trying to get quick runs but having smashed 20 off 11, he did his job and over to Nicholas Pooran now.

Marcus Stoinis smashed a couple of sixes in an over by Darshan Nalkande to infuse some energy into the flailing innings but immediately after, he was sent back as he top-edged a delivery straight to the wicket-keeper.

Nicholas Pooran is finally in for Lucknow and that may be a good thing for Lucknow as their captain has disappointed yet again with a 31-ball 33. Can the LSG batters turn the tide here?

The duo of KL Rahul and Marcus Stoinis has added 56 runs for the third wicket for the Lucknow Super Giants. However, it has come in 46 balls. Can both Rahul and Stoinis push the scoring rate?

Lucknow Super Giants haven't gotten scores from their middle-order as they would have liked and hence this partnership will be crucial not just for the team but also for both Rahul and Marcus Stoinis.

Devdutt Padikkal is OUT and Umesh Yadav strikes again!! What a thinking to keep a slip and LSG have been rocked twice within three overs!

Umesh Yadav has got De Kock in the very first over!!! He is gone for just 6 runs!

Umesh Yadav starts with new ball!!!
