‘Wo Jordan ke over ne game palat diya’ – Fans react as LSG beat MI in a nail-biting thriller in IPL 2023

Mumbai Indians faced the Lucknow Super Giants in a must win game for both sides to further boost their chances in the play-off race. Mumbai Indians won the toss and chose to chase on a slow and sluggish pitch in Lucknow and also opted for four seam bowlers along with two spinners which seemed to be a unique call.

The logical partnership of Stoinis as well as Krunal Pandya rebuilt the innings after Hooda, Mankad, and de Kock left the game early. They respected the environment and didn’t aim for anything spectacular, instead kicking the ball around during the middle overs. They had been willing to sprint quickly and occasionally crossed a barrier. When Krunal was on 49, he appeared to be injured and went away. 

He was stumbling when Pooran entered from the middle. But Stoinis was the one who savaged MI’s attack at the very end. He got things going by scoring a 24-run over against Jordan, and although being tricked on a few occasions, he still managed to blast seven sixes with all of his shots being precise and clean. They reached a massive total of 177 after 20 overs and on this pitch, it was a very difficult task.

Taking a look at the Mumbai Indians run chase of the LSG total: 

For the first wicket, Rohit Sharma as well as Ishan Kishan scored 90 runs, however after Rohit’s departure, the momentum shifted towards LSG’s favour. When Kishan was removed after scoring a brilliant fifty, LSG regained the initiative. Tim David delivered a few lusty knocks, but Lucknow’s death bowling proved effective enough to eventually choke SKY and Wadhera after they were unable to get going.

The eight overs of continuous spin bowled by Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi proved to be the difference between the two sides. The Chris Jordan over will surely be the one big faulty thing that Mumbai Indians will look back at and if they would have had a score of less than 10-15 runs, this would have been the win that would have given them a great chance in the playoff race.

MOHSIN KHAN – THE HERO OF LSG.

MI needed 11 in 6 balls with David and Green – 0,1,1,0,1,1. He's still not fully 100%, but Mohsin showed his class! Take a bow, Mohsin! pic.twitter.com/qw35yM4eHb

Lsg have bowled keeping long side in mind but mi bowlers had no plan bowled short of length and kept changing field every ball instead of bowling to the longer side.#lsg
