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

Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL 2022 Highlights: Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Lucknow Super Giants by 14 runs.

IPL 2022 LSG vs RCB Highlights, Eliminator: Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 14 runs to book a place in the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2022, where they will face Rajasthan Royals. Chasing a 208-run chase, KL Rahul (79) and Deepak Hooda (45) kept Lucknow's hopes alive but they, perhaps, accelerated a bit too late and left too much for their finishers, as LSG fell short by 14 runs in the chase. Harshal Patel (1/25) and Josh Hazlewood (3/43) were immense in the final two overs of the game, while Wanindu Hasaranga (1/42) took the important wicket of Hooda. Earlier, Rajat Patidar scored a brilliant unbeaten century (112* off 55 balls) to take RCB's score to 207/4. Rahul had won the toss and opted to bowl against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Kolkata. The toss was delayed due to rain at the Eden Gardens, and the match began at 8:10 PM – being pushed by 40 minutes.
