A very tight bowling effort from LSG saw them take the game deep, and Avesh Khan (3-37) closed out the innings with a brilliant spell of death-overs bowling, picking up three wickets and conceding just 11 runs from his final spell with the ball.
After winning the toss, LSG opted to bat first and reached a respectable total of 180-5, despite losing their two most in-form batters in Mitchell Marsh (four) and Nicholas Pooran (11) inside the powerplay.
Aiden Markram (66) and Ayush Badoni (50) starred, while Abdul Samad라이브 바카라 electric cameo (30 off 10 balls) ended Lucknow라이브 바카라 innings on a high.
But Rajasthan took full advantage of what was a good batting surface, racing away to a 61-0 by the end of the powerplay.
With regular skipper and wicketkeeper Sanju Samson ruled out due to injury, Riyan Parag assumed the captaincy duties, while 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi – now the youngest player ever to feature in the IPL – took Samson라이브 바카라 place at the top of the order.
Suryavanshi (34) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (74) put RR firmly in the driver라이브 바카라 seat in their chase, with a helpful contribution from Parag (39) setting them up for what seemed like an easy finish.
With four overs to go, Rajasthan needed just 25 runs to win with eight wickets in hand and two set batters in Jaiswal and Parag at the crease, but a series of poor shot selections from their finishers meant that Lucknow could edge out the win.
Avesh bowled Jaiswal through the gate and trapped Parag lbw in the 18th over, before dismissing Shimron Hetmyer (12) in the 20th to bring the equation down to four runs off the final delivery.
Shubham Dubey failed to connect the big hit required, sinking RR to their fourth straight loss. They currently sit in eighth place on the table, while LSG라이브 바카라 win has pushed them up to fourth with 10 points.
