LSG vs GT IPL 2022 Highlights: GT thrash LSG by 62 runs to become first team to qualify for playoffs

OUT! Rashid Khan gets the wicket of Avesh Khan, a successful review by Gujarat. They beat LSG by 62 runs to become the first team to qualify for playoffs in IPL 2022.

Oh hello! Avesh Khan has just smoked Rashid Khan for back-to-back sixes. The tall fast bowler is ready to have some fun and why shouldn't he.

Rashid Khan strikes for the third time and this time it is Mohammad Shami with a sharp running catch. LSG's last hope Deepak Hooda is walkig back to the pavilion. They are 9 down now.

Sai Kishore to Mohsin: OUT! Fuller in length, floated and around off but skidded away after landing. Mohsin Khan skips down the track and aims for a massive heave-ho over the leg side but gets a big top edge. It balloons towards point, Rashid reacts to his left from short third man and completes a great running catch, albeit in the second attempt.

OUT! Rashid Khan gets into the act. Jason Holder departs. PLUMB IN FRONT! Rashid Khan mixes his variations superbly. He lets out a traditional leggie. Lands it a bit short and around leg, Jason Holder goes on the back foot to work it around but misses. He is thudded on the back leg, the appeal is made and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Gujarat are roaring!

LSG 67/7

RUN OUT! Mix-up of epic proportions between Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya and Stoinis has to go. Pandya turns and calls for the two, Stoinis responds and then was sent back. He had no chance of returning home.

LSG 65/6 after 11.2 overs

R Sai Kishore to Ayush Badoni: OUT! STUMPED! He was almost halfway through the pitch and absolutely no chance of making it back. Maiden IPL wicket for R Sai Kishore. What a way to start your IPL career. Decieved the batter in flight completely. Ayush Badoni departs for 8. 

LSG 61/5 after 10.5 overs

Joseph to Badoni: FOUR! An on-drive for the ages from Ayush Badoni. Stand and admire, no need to run for that one. 50 up for LSG. They need more of this from Badoni and Hooda.

Krunal Pandya completely outfoxed by Rashid and then Saha takes off the stumps in no time at all. 

LSG 45/4 in 7.3 overs

Well this has been as good a start for GT as they could hope for considering they are not defending too much here. Their best batter and captain are back in the hut and so is their opening batter. They would have hoped for a good, efficient run chase here but that's not the case, GT have given themselves a chance. 

FOUR and OUT! Karan Sharma gets a boundary to get off the mark and is then dismissed off the very next ball. LSG 33/3 in 5.5 overs

GONE! The pressure gets to Rahul and that is a big, big wicket for Shami and GT. Short from Shami, Rahul miscues the pull and the ball goes high up into the night sky. Wriddhiman Saha makes no mistakes with those catches so thats that for the LSG captain. 

SIX and OUT! Quinton de Kock departs for 11. Sai Kishore takes a stunning catch on his debut. Yash Dayal gets his first wicket of the night. LSG 19/1 after 3.3 overs.

Mohammed Shami has been outstanding with the new ball in this IPL and he once again starts well. Only 4 runs in his first 2 overs.

LSG 12/0 after 3 overs

Hardik to Rahul: FOUR! Flashes and flashes hard. The ball flies over the slips and races away to the boundary. Rahul made room and went at it with hard hands which in the end worked in his favour.

KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock are opening the batting for LSG. They need a good start. The target is not big but a quick couple of wickets can make the chase difficult.

Gujarat Titans finish with 144 for 4 after 20 overs against the Lucknow Super Giants.

Two fours in the first three balls of the last over. This is where Rahul Tewatia can be really dangerous. Jason Holder needs to finish well otherwise Tewatia can take GT to 150.

Avesh to Tewatia: FOUR! Lucky one for GT but they needed that one. IT was pulled away by Tewatia towards fine leg, where Ayush Badoni seemed to be in complete control before the ball spun past him at the very last moment.

Fifty for Shubman Gill and he celebrates that with couple of crisp boundaries off Chameera. GT needs a move on and Gill has to do the bulk of the scoring now.

Holder to Miller: OUT! CAUGHT! Jason Holder has the last laugh here. He sends back a set-batsman in Miller. The pressure back on Gujarat.

Holder to Miller: SIX! WOW, frame that. Full and wide slower one from Jason Holder. Miller waits and slams it over cover for a six. You know Miller is in good form when he's hitting it through the off side.

The struggle to score runs continues for Gujarat. The batters need to step on the gas now. They have 7 wickets in hand with 7 overs remaining. Anything above 150 here will be a good total. Lucknow will want to continue with the same kind of bowling. Also, Mohsin Khan comes back to bowl.

Krunal to Gill: FOUR! Improvisation from Shubman Gill. He had decided to play the reverse sweep way early and thankfully for him and GT, it paid off. Gill got it fine from the short third fielder and it raced away to the boundary.

Avesh to Hardik: OUT! Edged and taken! Hardik Pandya can't believe it. Hands on his heads. Just after the break, LSG get the big fish. Avesh Khan has his second of the night. It was short andd wide and Hardik flashed hard at it only to get an outside edge to de Kock behind the stumps.

GT 51/3 after 9.1 overs
