Super Giants win!
Lucknow Super Giants 210 for 0 (de Kock 140*, Rahul 68*) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 208 for 8 (Shreyas 50, Rinku 40, Mohsin 3-20) by two runs
So there was this dude who scored 140, and yet the match-winning innings could have been 40 off 15
This is the magic of T20. Lucknow Super Giants batted their entire innings without losing a single wicket, with Quinton de Kock scoring his second IPL century, but it now becomes a footnote because Rinku Singh, with 21 to get in the last over, went 4, 6, 6, against Marcus Stoinis.
Knight Riders were having a day, picking up no wickets, but losing one in the very first over. Their chances of victory see-sawing between 96.03% and 0.35%.
Rinku took them to the brink of a truly ridiculous result. But, in the middle of a game that should have been theirs now slipping away rapidly, which is right up there as the worst kind of pressure - Stoinis defended 4 off 3 by picking up two wickets in two balls. One of them was a barely believable one-handed catch from Evin Lewis that will go down in IPL folklore. What a way to seal your place in the playoffs.
