It turned out to be another blockbuster game of the IPL 2023 that kept the viewers hooked to their TV screens till the last ball. LSG were 37/3 at the end of the power play, with RCB right on top of a run chase of 213. Marcus Stoinis with his impressive 30-ball 65 and Nicholas Pooran’s sensational 19-ball 62 helped LSG to a last-ball thrilling one-wicket victory.

“They played well through the middle. One ball one run. We backed ourselves to get a run-out," Du Plessis said at the post-match presentation.

“Just looking at the wicket, from 7-14 it was quite slow. In the last five overs it started skidding on. Really good for some good cricketing shots. Stoinis and Pooran played everything off the middle. They took on one of our main bowlers (Harshal) in his first couple of overs,"he added.
