LOCATION – Eden Gardens, Kolkata
At the Eden Gardens, KKR and LSG engaged in a seesaw battle that favoured the victor. With only 73 runs scored, LSG got off to a rough start and lost half the side. But Badoni and Pooran’s partnership of 74 (47) allowed LSG to get back into the match. Between the two, Pooran was the more aggressive batsman, scoring 58 runs off just 30 balls, including 5 fours and a maximum. The best bowler for KKR was Sunil Narine, who took 2 for 28. Jason Roy and Venky Iyer helped KKR get off to a fast start by accumulating 61 in the powerplay in response to a target of 177. In the middle overs, the LSG bowlers fought their way back thanks to their spinners K Gowtham and Ravi Bishnoi. In the middle overs, LSG took 3 KKR wickets while only allowing 5.9 r.p.o. When 63 runs were needed from the final five overs, the outcome was anyone’s guess. After getting Andre Rusell in the sixteenth over, LSG appeared to be in control, but Rinku Singh continued to bat, so the game was not finished. The hitter scored 20 runs in the 19th over, 20 again in the last over, and ultimately fell one run short. Rinku Singh struck 67 from just 33 balls and was still unblemished. LSG triumph in the game and advance to the IPL 2023 playoffs.
Player of the Game is Nicholas Pooran
Nicholas Pooran said “I’ve always known I had to immerse myself in the game to the fullest. Because this was a small ground and the spinners were in action, I knew they would throw me poor deliveries that I could profit from. I’ve been hitting well throughout the competition, and I take satisfaction in my ability to perform under pressure. These are the ways that I can repay the time that has been spent on me:.
