Hello, good afternoon and welcome to my blog once again, It was LSG dominating match yesterday where LSG beat KKR with a big margin of 75 runs, and it also improves their net run rate, and thus they reached the top with 16 points and look strong to stay there as the way they are performing. It's time to discuss that match in detail, so let's start it.

KKR won the toss, and they chose to bowl first. Pune's pitch is good for bowling, so it's a good option. KKR got the first wicket by running out, and it was the price Wicket of KL Rahul. It was De Kock's mistake, but later De Kock did everything ok as scored runs in power play with a high strike rate and made a useful partnership with Hooda. Hooda also looks good at no 3 as performing consistently well.

De Kock was out by Narine after making 50 runs for himself and 71 runs in partnership with Hooda. Once DeKock was out, LSG also struggled to score runs as they lost wickets regularly. Thanks for 19 overs where it came 5 sixes in over as 3 hits by Stoinis and 2 by Holder. That over was crucial, and it took them to 176 runs total, which was good.

In this run chase, it looks like KKR will give competition, but they started so bad again as they lost wickets in power play, and they lost momentum since starting to bat. They were 25/4 in the first 7 overs as it's a big collapse. Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan did nice bowling in the first 6-7 overs and now KKR depends on Russell.

Andre Russell missed a couple of balls in starting but was later able to connect the ball with the ball so well. He scored 25 runs in one over of holder and also hit sixes so regularly. KL gave Bowl to Avesh Khan where he took the wicket of Russell and that's over for KKR. They lost 4 wickets in 2 overs and were all out for just 101 runs. Avesh Khan took 3 wickets for LSG and got the man of the match award. That's it from me for today. Stay tuned for the next post.
