Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Lucknow Super Giants by a big margin of 98 runs in Lucknow's Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. They batted first and mounted a big total of 235 runs thanks to Sunil Narine's yet another dashing knock. His 81 off 39 set the tone for batting and Ramandeep Singh's cameo of 25 runs off just six balls in the end helped them set the highest total at this venue.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host Gujarat Titans in match 52 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. Here are three key player battles that are worth looking out for in the match
Last-ball thriller in Hyderabad favoured the home team as Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad claimed a close victory against Rajasthan Royals. Bhuvneshwar Kumar held his nerves and dismissed Rovman Powell on the last delivery of the match to win the game by a single run. Chasing a 202-run target, Rajasthan Royals were welcomed by veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar's double blow in the first over. But, Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal managed to stitch a 133-run partnership for the third wicket to make things easy for RR. It was looking like a one-sided match until Pat Cummins' 19th over. He bowled economically and gave just seven from that over. With 13 runs needed in the final over, Bhuvi somehow defended that and helped his team enter the top four in the points table.

Let's see what cricket fans have to say about it
Kolkata Knight Riders comfortably chased down an easy target of 154 runs set by Delhi Capitals to win the game by seven wickets in Eden Gardens.

KKR started the chase on a high note by gathering 23 runs from the first over of Lizaad Williams. Phil Salt smashed a quick fifty in just 26 balls within the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer took KKR past the line with ease. Catch the highlights of the KKR Vs DC match of the IPL 2024, here
