Digvesh Rathi bowled 4 overs in the game and ended up giving 33 runs. He had an economy rate of 8.20, which was the best among the Lucknow Super Giants bowlers in the game. His decent spell with the ball helped the Rishabh Pant-led side win the game by the margin of just 4 runs.

Lucknow Super Giants registered their third win in the league as they were top-notch with the bat. Aiden Markram (47) and Mitchell Marsh (81) took their team off to a flying start with the ball, adding 99 runs for the opening partnership that set the tempo for the rest of the innings.

Nicholas Pooran then did what he does best as he played a blinder of an innings. The keeper-batter ended up with an unbeaten 87 runs off 36 balls. The Lucknow Super Giants batter had a strike rate of over 241 as he hit 7 fours and a sixes during his stay at the crease.

With the ball, Lucknow Super Giants had a tough time as Kolkata Knight Riders came up with a great fight. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane (61) and Sunil Narine (30) put the bowlers under massive pressure before Venkatesh Iyer (45) also came up with a valuable hand.

However, wickets at the regular intervals meant Kolkata Knight Riders came at the backfoot. Rinku Singh (38*) tried his best in the end but lacked support as the Ajinkya Rahane-led fell short by just four runs, registering their third loss of the season.
