LSG’s chase was anchored by Marcus Stoinis, who played a match-winning knock of 62 runs from 45 balls, embellished with seven fours and two sixes. Although MI’s bowlers managed to make regular inroads into the LSG batting lineup, Stoinis’ controlled aggression kept the run chase on track. KL Rahul also contributed a valuable 28 at the top of the order. LSG reached their target in 19.2 overs, finishing at 145/6. Hardik Pandya was the pick of the MI bowlers with figures of 2/26.
