Chasing a modest 150, LSG rode on Quinton de Kock's 80 and finishing knocks from Krunal Pandya and their young sensation Ayush Badoni (3-ball 10 not out) when the match went to the final over to win by six wickets. Following the winning runs, Badoni made heads turn by copying former Indian and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Virat Kohli's celebration style.

Heaping praise on the young Badoni, captain KL Rahul said at the post-match presentation, "He (Badoni) has held his nerve everytime he has gone into bat and he's delivered for us under pressure. Great learning for him, important for him to keep working hard and stay humble."
