It was another splendid performance from the Pakistan team. Many of the players are fresh from the Pakistan Super League and the impact was quite visible in their performances. Yesterday the partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan added close to 100 runs on board for Pakistan, and then Iftikhar Ahmed performed some fireworks towards the end. The inexperienced Kiwi bowlers (Henry Shipley, Ben Lister, Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie) struggled against the Pakistani batsmen. And apart from Mark Chapman, none of the other New Zealand players contributed with the bat.
Pakistan needs to concentrate on the next matches and they should not forget that they have already lost its series against England.

So no one can blame the pitch completely. KL and his team were in complete control but lost their marble in the last 5 overs, in modern cricket if you are scoring only 23 runs in death overs despite having wickets in hand then you deserve to lose a match.
BCCI should do some investigations on this match. The scoreboard was 105-1 after 14 overs. 31 runs were needed from the last 6 overs, where LSG had 9 wickets in hand. How a team can loss such match by 7 runs! It wasn't a competitive match at all. Bettors and spectators may raise questions about the transparency of this match.

I am stunned by this result. What the hell? I was going to place a live bet on LSG when they needed 30 something from 34 balls, but their odds sucked which is why I didn't place it thinking that they had this in their bag.This actually looked like a fixed match. GT weren't even bowling well since LSG still had 9 wickets in hand. Screw IPL betting!
Comment from @onecall, I guess this was the reason. Skipper KL was batting at 50+ score and today he actually had a nice run but again he went into his tuk-tuk mode and failed to cross the line from the winning position. Telling you, this guy shouldn't be anywhere close to any sort of leadership role.
With 7 wickets in hand, all eyes were on captain KL Rahul to lead from the front and secure a victory for his team.

It is really hard to predict this years IPL, there are many matches that went to the last over and it is really unpredictable. Glad that i missed this match because the total was not that huge and after checking the highlights they had wickets in hand and yet LSG messed up in the end and an incredible final over by Mohit Sharma and a disastrous game plan by KL Rahul and LSG. This actually looked like a fixed match. GT weren't even bowling well since LSG still had 9 wickets in hand. Screw IPL betting!
A last over thriller in Lucknow!
With 7 wickets in hand, all eyes were on captain KL Rahul to lead from the front and secure a victory for his team. But, unfortunately losing matches from a winning position is always a possibility. Titans bowlers Mohit Sharma performed exceptionally well when it matte most. His last two overs were simply excellent, in his crucial 18th over just given away 6 runs. And his exceptional final over led to the opposition losing their winning momentum.

It's ok you've raised concerns about the match being fixed. When we've experienced match like this it's hard to deny that the scriptwriter for this year's IPL results deserves some serious recognition.

At one point they were 80/1 in 10 overs and it was a simple run chase, less than run a ball equation.

Lol what just happened here, can't even believe it.
Lucknow had 7 wickets in the bank and needed just 12 runs in the last over but boy o boy! 4 wickets in the last over haha
The pitch was definitely tough for batters but this is hilarious.
Well done Gujrat.
I don't know why all of a sudden it seems like all stadium pitches in IPL have become bowling pitches. Most of the matches that are being played recently are very low scoring matches. After winning the toss, LSG managed to score just 135 against Gujarat Titans in the first innings. Those who watch the IPL regularly can easily tell from such a score that a target of 136 runs would be easily chased down by any team. Lucknow had 7 wickets in the bank and needed just 12 runs in the last over but boy o boy! 4 wickets in the last over haha

Well done Gujrat.But after watching today's match, Gujarat Titans proved all those who thought so wrong. LSG's batsmen failed to chase down the target of 136 runs for LSG. LSG lost by 7 runs trying till the last ball. But we who are cricket lovers expect a bit more from IPL. We hope to see a high scoring match from the next match.

Lucknow VS Gujarat
Today is the 30th match of IPL Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans. Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bat. He scored 135 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. Wriddhiman Saha scored 47 runs off 37 balls, Hardik Pandya scored 66 runs off 50 balls. Both of them have performed well but the strike rate is not very good. Gujarat Titans did not score very well. Gujarat Titans will have to bowl very well to win. I think Lucknow will win easily. Lucknow played at their home ground

There are two matches in IPL today. The day match will feature LSG and GT and the night match will feature Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings.
Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants are last season's defending champions and runners-up. In the last IPL, when Lucknow Super Giant and Gujarat Titans reached the final, Gujarat Titans won the IPL title for the first time by defeating Lucknow Super Giant in the final. As the two teams are defending champions and runners-up, this match will be very competitive.
Punjab Kings will face Mumbai Indians in the night match to move to the 4th position in the points table. Mumbai Indians is at number 6 in the points table and Punjab Kings is at number 7 in the points table. Even though there is a gap in the points table, the points of both teams are equal. 6 points for the two teams who are at number four and number five in the points table. That is, if any of these two teams can defeat each other by a significant margin of runs, then there will be a possibility for them to go to number four in the points table.
However, if Gujarat Titans win against LSG, they will have a chance to move to the third position in the points table.

I feel that RR, GT, CSK and RCB will finish in the top-4 though I might be completely wrong since this is the IPL after all.
Do not make any early predictions because when you see the points table the team's total points are so close and they all differ by the Net Run rate. We have 8 and 6 points till the number 7 spot which shows that anything is possible in this year's IPL and it is too early to predict the top 4. I guess each and every point is very important for the teams and therefore teams should try to win every match in the hope to qualify for top 4 teams.
Observed several people jumping to conclusions when only 40% of the season has finished so far. Anyone with a half-decent brain knows that every team still has a shot at making it to the playoffs.

Not only the Hyderabad and Delhi teams, but Kolkata's condition is also very deplorable. Delhi won 1 out of 6 matches. Hyderabad and Kolkata have won only two out of 6 matches. Despite having an excellent squad, the Kolkata side did not perform well. However, Delhi and Hyderabad teams are in very poor condition. Both teams are very weak in both batting and bowling. In every match, we see poor performances from both the teams. They have very little chance of climbing the points table.
Even if it's true that the teams from Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Delhi have had difficulties in the IPL thus far it is crucial to keep in mind that the competition has a long way to go. Every team experiences adversity; what counts is how they respond to it. All three teams have the capacity to change their fortunes thanks to their talented players and knowledgeable coaching staff. Let's continue to cheer them on as supporters and wish for some spectacular performances in the next games. Who knows maybe they'll all take us by surprise.

I think in this match Sunrisers Hyderabad could not score many runs by batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad team's batting was under a lot of pressure. If the batting could have scored a little more runs then maybe Sunrisers Hyderabad would have won this match very easily. Now if Sunrisers Hyderabad batting like that. Performed poorly If they perform this poorly in bowling then they will have no chance to win the match. Expect to see a lot of hard fought action in this match. But I am still not sure which team will win.
IPL is very much over for teams like SRH and DC. Today SRH will lose another game as they have given a small target of 134 runs to a strong team of CSK. Super Kings need 62 runs in 69 balls and whole batting lineup still to come. Seems like a warm up match for CSK as there is nothing from SRH in batting and now in bowling. IPL is adding more teams to the league but there are few teams whose performance is nothing but disappointing. Not only the Hyderabad and Delhi teams, but Kolkata's condition is also very deplorable. Delhi won 1 out of 6 matches. Hyderabad and Kolkata have won only two out of 6 matches. Despite having an excellent squad, the Kolkata side did not perform well.

This was quite easy for Chennai super kings to win. The target was not very big at all. I could say that they were very comfortable getting to the target in this match. Sunrises Hyderabad basically did not have enough on the board to defend.
The next match of Chennai is going to be against Kolkata. I believe that is not going to be very hard for Chennai as well. I say that because Kolkata is not performing well right now. Whatever Kolkata is trying right now is not working. Kolkata has a big weakness in the opening prayer. I believe Chennai will want to exploit that weakness for sure.
