Another day, another IPL thriller. This time, Royal Challengers Bangalore couldn’t hold on to a 212-run total. The principal wrecker was Nicholas Pooran. With a 19-ball 62-run knock, he turned the game around for Lucknow. While Harshal Patel bowled a fantastic last over to defend only 5 runs. However, a blunder by Dinesh Karthik enabled LSG earn a one-wicket victory. LSG must also give credit to Marcus Stoinis, who came to the rescue following Wayne Parnell’s superb opening period.
