An incredibly thrilling clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday in Lucknow turned into a nail-biting showdown that went right down to a Super Over after both teams, fighting hard, ended with similar scores. However, the match belonged to KKR, who, showing determination, claimed an emphatic win. After being asked to bat, KKR's innings was transformed by a remarkable effort from Rinku Singh after they lost wickets at regular intervals.

Rishabh Pant scored 42 to revive the chase, and in the end, Shami smashed 11 off 6 balls to help LSG finish at 155/8, taking the game into a Super Over. In the Super Over, KKR’s bowlers held their nerve brilliantly, restricting LSG to 1/2. Chasing a target of two in the Super Over, KKR finished the job pretty early, with Rinku Singh smashing a boundary off the very first ball.
