All set to go then. LSG openers are out in the middle. Marsh and Markram are out to open while Siraj gets the new ball.

LSG 26/0 (3)

The openers have started well but so has Siraj. He has given just 12 runs off his two overs. But Markram and Marsh have looked decent so far. Can they get a move on? Rabada comes into the attack now.

LSG 53/0 (6)

LSG have another good start and Marsh and Markram are once again leading the way. Rabada has gone for 22 in two overs while Siraj has just given 17 off his three overs.

LSG 83/0 (9)

The partnership keeps getting bigger. Marsh is now on 45, closing in on another fifty while his partner Markram 35. The Titans are in a desperate need of a wicket. Who will bring it? R Sai Kishore perhaps.

LSG 132/1 (12)

Rashid Khan taken for 25 runs in an over by Mitchell Marsh. Some brilliant hitting from the Bison. Absolute mayhem in Ahmedabad right now. Marsh moves to 84 and now aims towards a century. Nicholas Pooran has already hit a six off the first ball. So GT could be in for some tough test here.

LSG 160/1 (15)

Runs just keep coming. Pooran joins the act now. He smashes R Sai Kishore for a six and a four and GT leak 13 from the 15th over. LSG look set for a big finish now. 30 balls left and nine wickets in hand. They will be eyeing 220 at least.

LSG 212/2 (18.1)

Finally the wicket comes and it is the centurion Mitchell Marsh who has mistimed the very first ball of the penultimate over. Caught at deep covers and Marsh walks back for 117 of 64. Ahmedabad crows stands up and appreciates. What an innings. Marsh will remember that for a long time.

LSG 235/2 (20)

75 runs of the final five overs and it is a massive score that the Super Giants have posted tonight. GT, the best bowling attack of the season, have been taken for 235 and there was one man who led the charget: Mitchell Marsh.

A 56-ball ton for the Australian and he just tore apart the bowling attack of GT. Nicholas Pooran too fired 56 off just 27 balls and thankfully for LSG, their captain Rishabh Pant too hit a couple of sixes towards the end in his six-ball 16.

Gujarat Titans need 236 to win in 20 overs!

GT 33/0 (3)

Same story folding out once again as the Titans begin their chase. Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan have already added 33 in first three overs. Both batters doing the same thing again. Not taking much risk but scoring at a high rate.

GT 67/1 (6)

The opening partnership is broken but out comes Jos Buttler and he takes the game on right from his first ball. Even though Sai Si=udharsan has gone, GT have scored enough in the powerplay thanks to Buttler who smashed Avesh Khan for 20 runs off the last four balls of the sixth over.

GT 122/3 (12)

Live by the sword, die by it. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler entertain the home crowd and raise visions of a thrilling chase, but both depart in quick succession to leave their side vulnerable. Sherfane Rutherford and Shahrukh Khan are now in the middle, and the asking rate is over 14 RPO. Perhaps still doable, but the task is that much more daunting now.

GT 182/3 (16)

Shahrukh Khan and Sherfane Rutherford are changing the game here for the Titans. Just 54 needed now from 24 and LSG bowling will now be under some serious, serious pressure. Things looking tight for LSG at the moment thanks to this Shahrukh, Sherfane show.

GT 193/6 (18)

Last two overs have turned the tide completely. O'Rourke got rid of Rutherford and Tewatia in the 17th over and gave away just four runs. Shahbaz Ahmad followed it with another good over to concede just seven and now the equation has moved up to 43 from 12 balls.

Lucknow Super Giants beat Gujarat Titans 33 runs!

Brilliant finish to the game for LSG. Last four overs go for just 20 runs and GT lose just their entire middle and lower order. LSG now also complete a double over GT this season. Sounds strange but is true.

Mitchell Marsh scored his maiden IPL century and that just set up the game in LSG's favour. Pooran fired a quick fifty and LSG put up a massive 233/2 in 20 overs. GT's famed top three got starts but none of them could score big tonight and that just helped LSG take the game away. Shahrukh Khan scored a good fifty but that was not enough. William O'Rourke turned the game with two wickets and four runs in the 17th over and that just led to a colappse and GT were stopped at 202/9.

This loss leaves GT at 18 points from 13 matches, one more than both RCB and PBKS. However, RCB and PBKS are yet to play their 13th match and that puts GT's top two plans in danger. If RCB and PBKS win their remaining games, GT will miss the top two. LSG are anyway out but they will take a lot of positives from this game.

We will be leaving for tonight. Thank you for following us. Keep reading more on OutlookIndia.
