IPL 2022 Highlights, LSG vs RCB Eliminator: Bangalore beat Lucknow by 14 runs, to meet Rajasthan in Qualifier 2

He reaches his half-century with a six over deep midwicket!

LSG have players like Marcus Stoinis, Evin Lewis and Krunal Pandya yet to come.

Timing seems to have deserted both, Hooda and Rahul here. They are rotating the strike, but it is not enough at this point.

LSG have reached the 100-run mark in 11.3 overs. They still need 108 runs to win in 51 balls, with a required run rate of 12.71. Current run rate - 8.70

That's better from KL. A cheeky reverse-sweep from Rahul towards third man against Shahbaz and the partnership crosses 50-run mark.

LSG need 119 runs to win from 60 balls. KL Rahul's strike rate has further gone down to 115.63.

Only five runs from Harshal Patel's first over.

LSG 89/2 in 10 overs

It has been a tough IPL 2022 for Hasaranga on the field, but he has shown brilliant effort on the field. This time, he takes a superb catch at third man boundary but releases the ball just in time before his foot touches the ball. Deepak Hooda survives

Rahul has been playing the anchor role, but he has to up the ante from here. He has played 28 deliveries and scored at a strike rate of just above 120.

LSG 84/2 in 9 overs

First six of the innings from Hooda. Fuller from Shahbaz and Hooda goes inside-out and slams this one over cover.

LSG 79/2 in 8 overs

Only five from Hasaranga's first.

Reminder: He needs two wickets to equal Yuzvendra Chahal in the Purple Cap race

LSG 67/2 in 7 overs. Target 208

Wanindu Hasaranga with the first over of the game straight after powerplay.

Rahul was 9 off 11 balls after five overs. In the next four balls, he has scored 14 runs. 4, 6, 0, 4 from Rahul against Siraj!

And he begins his run-scoring with a four through covers.

LSG 45/2 in 5 overs. Target 208

What a catch from Shahbaz! Hazlewood strikes, Vohra departs!

First six of the innings for Manan Vohra. He goes over deep midwicket.

LSG 30/1 in 3.2 overs. Target 208

Shahbaz Ahmed into the attack and a good delivery to start with. However, both, Vohra and Karthik miss the ball as it goes for a boundary behind the keeper.

One of Rahul and Vohra need to attack in the powerplay. RCB won't mind singles and doubles in the first six overs

Only five runs from Hazlewood's first over. Good start for RCB, this.

LSG 13/1 in 2 overs. Target 208

He gets off the mark straightaway with a single through third man.

Quinton de Kock departs! Siraj strikes.

No timing from De Kock as he looks to find a boundary over mid-on. Pitch around off stump and De Kock lofts it, but it hits the toe-end of the bat. Easy catch for Faf du Plessis

LSG 8/1 in 1 over. Target 208

First six of the innings from Quinton de Kock! Poor line from Siraj as he bowls down the leg stump and de Kock flicks his wrist brilliantly to dispatch this one over deep square leg for six.

It comes through leg-byes. LSG up and running in the chase

Full from Siraj but wide of leg stump. Big appeal but the umpire righfully pays no heed. Quinton de Kock stays

KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock open for LSG in the 208-run chase. Mohammed Siraj to begin the proceedings for RCB.

"I wasn't looking to get my century (when I hit the six on 95). I was just aiming to get as much runs for my team as possible. I loved my timing throughout the innings. It won't be easy to defend this target but we keep our balls on the right lengths, we will win," Patidar says in the mid-match interview on Star Sports.
