LSG vs RCB Live IPL 2023: That is it!
RCB defends a meagre 126 with ease, sealing an 18-run victory against LSG. In stark contrast to their high-scoring encounter earlier this season, this match was a battle for the batters on a slow and sluggish pitch that offered little bounce. Despite a shaky start, LSG went all out during the powerplay, but their aggressive approach proved futile on a pitch where the ball refused to come on and offered ample turn to the bowlers.

Hazlewood Strikes, But Rahul Comes Out to Bat! Is There Still Hope? Hazlewood bowls a short delivery outside off, and Naveen-ul-Haq attempts a ramp shot but only manages to edge it to the keeper, who takes a comfortable catch. With this wicket, Hazlewood has put his team in a commanding position. However, there's still hope for the Lucknow Super Giants as KL Rahul walks out to bat. Will he be able to turn the match around? Naveen-ul-Haq departs after scoring 13 runs off 13 deliveries, including 2 fours.

Another Wicket Falls to Run-Out: Ravi Bishnoi Dismissed as LSG Suffers Eighth Wicket Loss. Bishnoi attempted to take a risky second run after reverse-sweeping the ball to backward point where the fielder couldn't hold on to a difficult chance. However, Harshal Patel, who was positioned at short third, retrieved the ball and threw it accurately to Karthik, who broke the stumps to dismiss Bishnoi well short of the crease. Despite a desperate dive, Bishnoi couldn't make it in time, adding to LSG's woes.

Gowtham has been run out by a direct hit from Sonu Yadav, which has been referred to the third umpire for a run-out appeal. Unfortunately for the batsman, the decision goes against him as the replays show that he was short of the crease. Gowtham had been batting well, hitting a couple of sixes and a boundary in his innings, but this run-out could prove to be a crucial breakthrough for the fielding side. The ball was pitched outside off and Gowtham hit it towards backward point, running hard for a single. However, the fielder was quick to react and his throw was accurate, hitting the stumps directly. Karthik completed the formalities and Gowtham had to depart for 23 off 13 balls. This wicket has certainly given the fielding side a boost and could change the course of the game.

Stoinis attempted a lofted shot, but there was turn for Karn, causing the ball to grip and catch the outside half of the bat. Prabhudessai, positioned at long-off, ran to his left and took a good catch. Stoinis, who had scored 13 runs off 19 balls and hit a six, has been dismissed.

Karn Sharma gets the breakthrough as Pooran departs. Pooran's aggressive approach was evident from the very first ball he faced, but he failed to connect this time. He attempted to slog sweep a leg break from outside leg stump, but mistimed it and got more elevation than distance. Lomror, stationed at deep square leg, covered good ground and dived to complete the catch. This wicket means that half of the home side's batting lineup is now back in the pavilion. Pooran is out for 9(7) with one six to his name.

He seemed to have an air of guilt around him as soon as the umpire went upstairs to check the decision. Hasaranga's gentle leg-break beat Hooda's prodding bat and skidded at a nice height to DK, who made no mistake in taking off the bails. Hooda was unable to get his back foot inside the crease in time, and the bails were dislodged just on the line. He was dismissed for 1 run off 2 deliveries.

Maxwell has claimed the wicket of Krunal Pandya, caught by Kohli, as he strikes for the team. The ball was fired wide, with not much pace on it, and Krunal shuffled down the track, attempting an inside-out loft shot. He relied solely on timing and did not try to exert any power on the ball, resulting in it being chipped off the bottom half of his bat.

Kohli's attempt to increase the run rate led to his dismissal, and Rawat, Maxwell, and Prabhudessai struggled to adjust to the pitch. At the other end, Faf also showed no intent to score quickly, resorting to nudging, nurdling, poking, and prodding the ball around.
