KKR vs LSG, IPL 2024 Highlights: Kolkata Knight Riders Defeat Lucknow Super Giants By 8 Wickets
KKR vs LSG, IPL 2024 Highlights: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeat Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 8 wickets in the 28th match of the IPL 2024 at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.
A sensational innings by Phil Salt leads KKR to a commanding victory at Eden Gardens. With a below-par target set by LSG, Salt ensured they had no chance of defending it. Apart from Mohsin Khan, the visitors' bowling lacked direction, and Salt capitalized on it. Conversely, KKR's bowling was spot on earlier in the day. Mitchell Starc excelled with the new ball and in the death overs, while Sunil Narine delivered another brilliant spell, conceding only 17 runs and building immense pressure on the timid LSG lineup. Despite a favorable batting pitch, there was a lack of urgency to score quickly until it was too late, leaving Pooran with too much to do to achieve a competitive total. Despite his efforts, they fell significantly short on that wicket.
Kolkata Knight Riders defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets and register a big, big win. It will do a great deal of good to their NRR.
Mohsin Khan comes to bowl his final over and has been given some treatment by Phi Salt as he dispatches him for a 98-meter six over midwicket. 13 runs off the over for KKR as they are just 6 runs away.

Pooran's 45 runs off 32 balls helped LSG setting a target in excess of the 160-run mark. Both KL Rahul and Badoni showed promise but were dismissed while attempting big shots. Not a single boundary came off Narine's bowling, and Starc's experience in the final over, along with Rana's decent performance in the slog overs, kept the visitors restrained.
