Match 57 of the IPL 2022 edition will see the table-toppers Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with the Gujarat Titans (GT) as the two newcomers will fight hard to confirm a playoffs berth with a win. A victory for any of the sides will take them to the last four on Tuesday evening (May 10).

Talking about the run of both sides, Lucknow and Gujarat both have been very impressive in their debut season. Both have eight wins and three losses from 11 games but Gujarat's two back-to-back defeats and Lucknow's healthy NRR, due to a whopping 75-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), sees the latter&nbsp;at the top spot.

The last time Gujarat and Lucknow locked horns with each other was in the first week of IPL 2022, at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. In a hard-fought contest, Rahul &amp; Co. posted 158-6, riding on fifties from Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni, but couldn't defend the total due to contributions from Matthew Wade, Hardik, David Miller and Rahul Tewatia and lose by five wickets. Md Shami returned with the Player-of-the-Match award for his 3 for 25. Early wickets for Gujarat made the difference in a tight contest.

Match prediction for Gujarat vs Lucknow: The surface at the MCA Stadium, Pune favours the batters on most occasions. While it has been deemed to be on the slower side, run-making hasn't been very difficult. From high-scorers to teams defending less than 150, everything has been witnessed here at the MCA Stadium. With teams batting first winning eight&nbsp;out of the 11 games this season, expect Lucknow and Gujarat to also follow the trend. Both sides are unbeaten at this venue so far in IPL 2022. Expect a mouth-watering 155-160-plus contest. While momentum is with the Lucknow franchise, will Gujarat end their two-match winless streak?

Gujarat Titans or Lucknow Super Giants? Harbhajan reveals which team will be the 1st to qualify for playoffs

KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns against Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans (GT) in a top of the table clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Tuesday (May 10). LSG surpassed Gujarat Titans to take the top spot on the points table with a huge win of 75 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their last game.

While Rahul &amp; Co. will be hoping to continue their winning run, Gujarat Titans will be aiming to bounce back after back-to-back defeats in their last two games. Gujarat Titans were enjoying a stellar run in the tournament and had lost just one out of their first nine matches this season.

However, a faltering middle-order and the failure of their bowling attack have seen them lose their last two matches on the trot. Both Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants currently have 16 points each and the winner of the game on Tuesday will become the first team to qualify for the playoffs this season.

Lucknow Super Giants had gotten off to a losing start this season and have struggled in a few matches but with a settled batting unit and an in-form pace attack, they are one of the favourites to become the first team to make it to the playoffs this year.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans, IPL 2022: Head-to-head, stats, trivia and predicted playing XIs

IPL has been a huge hit over the years. The cash-rich league has become a big part of the cricketing calendar and every season is keenly awaited among the ardent cricket fans worldwide. There have been some big names who have led to IPL's resounding success over the years.

Along with the huge success, IPL has also seen some controversies unfold on the 22-yard cricket strip. There have been some heated exchanges among players from time to time. During IPL 2013, Virat Kohli -- the then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper -- had got involved in an ugly altercation with former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Gautam Gambhir when both sides had met at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on April 11.

Riding on Gambhir's 46-ball 59, KKR set up a decent 155-run target on board for Kohli &amp; Co. In reply, Chris Gayle's 85 off&nbsp;50 balls and Kohli's 35 helped the hosts beat KKR by eight wickets with 15 balls to spare. However, Kohli was sledged after his dismissal, by L Balaji, and soon got involved in a heated exchange with Gambhir as the umpire and KKR players had to step in and interrupt. The altercation made headlines for the entire season.

Then KKR all-rounder Rajat Bhatia had also opened up on the altercation in 2020. "That is something which happened when two aggressive captains played and they always want to give their best and win for their respective teams. Even if they had any kind of collision in that match, it was just a part of the game,” Bhatia told Asianet Newsable.

“Later, I have never seen them (Gambhir and Kohli) fighting. In the heat of the moment, so many things happen. But, it shouldn’t be happening for the worse. And on that day, it was not,” he further added.

In a YouTube video with Jatin Sapru, Gambhir also recently opined on the whole&nbsp;incident. Recalling whatever happened&nbsp;nine years back, he said that it was nothing&nbsp;personal.&nbsp;

"That's why there was nothing personal (then) and there never will be personal against Virat. I say it again and again that what he's achieved, I am not surprised. That's the kind of player he was when we saw him early but what he's transformed into, I think from a fitness point of view and the way he's worked on his skills is tremendous", Gambhir said on the YouTube channel.&nbsp;

At present, Kohli remains involved with the RCB in IPL 2022. Meanwhile, former KKR captain Gambhir is now the team mentor of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

IPL 2022: Updated points table after Lucknow Super Giants beat Kolkata Knight Riders

Quinton de Kock laid the platform with a commanding fifty and his pacers then terrorised Kolkata Knight Riders to record a crushing 75-run victory for Lucknow Super Giants which put them on top of the table with an IPL play-off berth being a formality now.

For last year's runners-up KKR, eight points from 11 games with a deflating negative run-rate now puts them closer to the exit door with lacklustre performance and unimaginative captaincy combining for what has turned out to be a disastrous season so far.

Invited to bat, De Kock slammed a 29-ball-50 but Lucknow almost frittered away a solid start before some lusty hitting in a 30-run penultimate over off Shivam Mavi took them to 176 for 7.

The LSG bowlers then raised to the occasion to bundle out KKR for 101 in 14.3 overs, despite the heroics of Andre Russell (45 off 19 balls) to gather two crucial points and take their overall total to 16 points in the IPL standing.

KKR remained at the 8th spot after suffering their 7th loss in 11 games.

Defending 177, LSG left KKR tottering at 25 for four with four bowlers picking up their first wickets.

While Mohsin produced a wicket-maiden to get rid of Baba Indrajith, Chameera sent back Shreyas Iyer after rattling him with a short and quick delivery.

It has now been an all too familiar script for KKR skipper whose discomfort while facing quick bouncers is well-documented and national coach Rahul Dravid would only be worried with this glaring technical deficiency.

Aaron Finch too perished as his miscued pull was poached by de Kock as KKR slipped to 23 for 3 in the first six overs.

Nitish Rana was then cleaned up by Avesh Khan with a yorker as KKR looked down the barrels.

Russell then used his brute force to hit Holder all across the park. One was whacked at midwicket for a maximum, the second one was slapped to deep, while a flat-batted pull earned him another six and the last one was a four over short third.

After amassing 25 off the Holder over, Russell produced another maximum off Ravi Bishnoi as KKR reached 64 for 4 in 10 overs.

He and Sunil Narine (22 off 12) produced a small partnership but once Russell was out to Avesh Khan in the 13th over, it became a downward slide for KKR as they folded in 14.3 overs.

Avesh and Holder returned with three wickets each.

Earlier, De Kock, who was involved in a terrible mix up with skipper KL Rahul, who got a 'Diamond Duck' (out for 0 without facing a ball), redeemed himself with an innings studded with four boundaries and three maximums.

He added 71 with Deepak Hooda (41 off 27 balls) to give LSG a good start after being invited to bat. 
Hooda made up for the loss of Rahul's with his back to-back boundaries over extra cover off Shivam

Mavi (1/50 in 4 overs), while De Kock too joined in with a special treatment to Tim Southee, clobbering him for two fours and a six in the 3rd over.

Left-arm spinner Anukul Roy and pacer Harshit Rana were next in line as De Kock smashed the former for a four before lunching into the latter for a four and two sixes to take LSG to their best score in the powerplays this season, a 66 for one.

De Kock, however, couldn't stay much longer as he was holed out in deep only two balls after completing his fifty.

Hooda, who hit four boundariers and two sixes in his entertaining 27-ball knock tat took LSG past 100-run mark before falling to a Andre Russell delivery with his miscued pull ending in safe hands of skipper Shreyas Iyer.

Krunal Pandya then tried to keep the run-rate high and slammed two fours before ending at the hands of Aaron Finch at deep point.

The decision to promote Ayush Badoni (15 not out off 18) didn't bear result as the young Delhi batter was under pressue after a quiet over and couldn't find his rhythm with runs drying up between 12th to 16th over.

However, Marcus Stoinis (28 off 14 balls) changed things when he clobbered Mavi for three successive sixes before holing out. However, new man Jason Holder (13 off 4 balls) slammed the next two balls for two more maximums as the 19th over yielded 30 runs for LSG.

In the bowling front, KKR missed the experience of Umesh Yadav, who missed out due to a muscle pull, with Hooda and de Kock going hammer and tongs early on.

However, Andrew Russell (2/22) was rewarded for bowling back of length, while Sunil Narine (20/1) and Tim Southee (1/28) also kept things tight but the rest of bowlers bled plenty in their stipulated overs.

Invited to bat, De Kock slammed a 29-ball-50 but Lucknow almost frittered away a solid start before some lusty hitting in a 30-run penultimate over off Shivam Mavi took them to 176 for 7. The LSG bowlers then raised to the occasion to bundle out KKR for 101 in 14.3 overs, despite the heroics of Andre Russell (45 off 19 balls) to gather two crucial points and take their overall total to 16 points in the IPL standing.

Defending 177, LSG left KKR tottering at 25 for four with four bowlers picking up their first wickets. While Mohsin produced a wicket-maiden to get rid of Baba Indrajith, Chameera sent back Shreyas Iyer after rattling him with a short and quick delivery. It has now been an all too familiar script for KKR skipper whose discomfort while facing quick bouncers is well-documented and national coach Rahul Dravid would only be worried with this glaring technical deficiency. Aaron Finch too perished as his miscued pull was poached by de Kock as KKR slipped to 23 for 3 in the first six overs. Nitish Rana was then cleaned up by Avesh Khan with a yorker as KKR looked down the barrels. Russell then used his brute force to hit Holder all across the park. One was whacked at midwicket for a maximum, the second one was slapped to deep, while a flat-batted pull earned him another six and the last one was a four over short third. After amassing 25 off the Holder over, Russell produced another maximum off Ravi Bishnoi as KKR reached 64 for 4 in 10 overs. He and Sunil Narine (22 off 12) produced a small partnership but once Russell was out to Avesh Khan in the 13th over, it became a downward slide for KKR as they folded in 14.3 overs. Avesh and Holder returned with three wickets each. Earlier, De Kock, who was involved in a terrible mix up with skipper KL Rahul, who got a 'Diamond Duck' (out for 0 without facing a ball), redeemed himself with an innings studded with four boundaries and three maximums. He added 71 with Deepak Hooda (41 off 27 balls) to give LSG a good start after being invited to bat. Hooda made up for the loss of Rahul's with his back to-back boundaries over extra cover off Shivam Mavi (1/50 in 4 overs), while De Kock too joined in with a special treatment to Tim Southee, clobbering him for two fours and a six in the 3rd over. Left-arm spinner Anukul Roy and pacer Harshit Rana were next in line as De Kock smashed the former for a four before lunching into the latter for a four and two sixes to take LSG to their best score in the powerplays this season, a 66 for one. De Kock, however, couldn't stay much longer as he was holed out in deep only two balls after completing his fifty. Hooda, who hit four boundariers and two sixes in his entertaining 27-ball knock tat took LSG past 100-run mark before falling to a Andre Russell delivery with his miscued pull ending in safe hands of skipper Shreyas Iyer. Krunal Pandya then tried to keep the run-rate high and slammed two fours before ending at the hands of Aaron Finch at deep point. Also read | IPL 2022: Chahal becomes second bowler after Malinga to achieve massive feat The decision to promote Ayush Badoni (15 not out off 18) didn't bear result as the young Delhi batter was under pressue after a quiet over and couldn't find his rhythm with runs drying up between 12th to 16th over. However, Marcus Stoinis (28 off 14 balls) changed things when he clobbered Mavi for three successive sixes before holing out. However, new man Jason Holder (13 off 4 balls) slammed the next two balls for two more maximums as the 19th over yielded 30 runs for LSG. In the bowling front, KKR missed the experience of Umesh Yadav, who missed out due to a muscle pull, with Hooda and de Kock going hammer and tongs early on. However, Andrew Russell (2/22) was rewarded for bowling back of length, while Sunil Narine (20/1) and Tim Southee (1/28) also kept things tight but the rest of bowlers bled plenty in their stipulated overs.

Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will both be looking to continue their winning run as they face each other in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Saturday.

While LSG are second in the points table with 14 points from 10 matches, KKR are struggling in the eighth position with just eight points from 10 encounters. The debutants have impressed everyone with their performance, but KKR lost four consecutive matches in the tournament.

Match prediction for LSG vs KKR clash:

Considering the current form of the sides, LSG seem clear favourites against KKR. However, with the pitches slowing down, the spin attack of KKR may come into play and if there can take the wickets of Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul in the beginning, the match can completely turn on its head.

From Umran Malik to Ayush Badoni: Young Indian stars who have taken IPL 2022 by storm

Both Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be looking to continue their winning run in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 when they lock horns at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (May 1). LSG and DC are separated by four points on the table with the Rishabh Pant-led side having played a game less than KL Rahul &amp; Co.

Delhi Capitals have been marred with inconsistency this season as a number of their key players have failed to perform up to the expectations. While pacer Shardul Thakur is yet to prove his mettle in the tournament this year, the likes of Axar Patel and Mustafizur Rahman too have struggled to pick up wickets regularly.

Mitchell Marsh's absence due to injury and then COVID-19 has also hurt DC's chances so far this season. However, the Australian all-rounder has now joined the camp following his full recovery and will be looking to make an impact when he takes the field against LSG on Sunday.

The form of openers - David Warner and Prithvi Shaw along with that of spinner Kuldeep Yadav is a huge positive for DC while skipper Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell have also played some crucial cameos with the bat. They will be hoping to move up on the table with a win against LSG on Sunday.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have managed to find some momentum in their campaign with back-to-back wins in their last two games. Lucknow are currently placed third on the points table with 12 points from nine matches. Their batters have been firing while the bowlers have also performed well.

In their last game against Punjab Kings, LSG did suffer a middle-order collapse but they have enough firepower in their line-up to recover from such situations and still post a strong total on the board. Their pace attack has been delivering the goods consistently with the likes of Dushmantha Chameera and Avesh Khan among the wickets.

Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2022 prediction:

Delhi Capitals once again have nearly a full-strength XI at their disposal as they look to gain some momentum heading into the business end of the tournament. Rishabh Pant &amp; Co. can come out on top against LSG if they can restrict their batters on a low-key total and back their batters to outshine them at the Wankhede Stadium.

DC vs LSG, IPL 2022 today match prediction: Who will win Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants clash?

IPL 2022: Lucknow Super Giants continue winning run with victory over Delhi Capitals

Unheralded Uttar Pradesh left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan put up an exceptional bowling performance as Lucknow Super Giants beat Delhi Capitals by six runs on Sunday, thereby taking a giant stride towards qualifying for the IPL play-offs.

It was skipper KL Rahul's 77 off 51 balls and newly promoted Deepak Hooda's 52 off 34 balls that propelled LSG to an imposing 195 for 3 despite stuttering towards the end of the innings.

In reply, Mohsin (4/16 in 4 overs) got breakthroughs exactly when things seemed to spiral out of control as Delhi Capitals finally managed 189 for 7 in the end.

LSG now have 14 points from 10 games and another win out of the remaining four games would seal a play-off spot for them considering 16 being the magic number in most years.

For DC, things get really tough from hereon as 8 points from nine games mean that they might have to win four out of their remaining five games which looks to be an uphill task with this bowling attack which has been defensive on most occasions.

At least two among Rishabh Pant (42 off 24 balls), Mitchell Marsh (37 off 20 balls) and Rovman Powell (35 off 21 balls) needed to score in excess of 60 to make a match of it.

But Mohsin, who produced disconcerting bounce with his mostly back of the length balls, occasionally slipped in a fuller blockhole delivery as his victims included all the big names like David Warner (3), Pant, Powell and Shardul Thakur.

The way he set up Pant showed Mohsin's cricketing smarts as he bowled short and wide making the DC skipper desperate to reach for the deliveries.

With not much success coming his way, Pant pre-empted another short delivery which would have enabled him to play the pull-shot but to his utter dismay found one dipping into blockhole and he yorked himself.

Once Pant was out, it was left to Powell but he was also snuffed out with a short delivery which he couldn't clear ending Delhi's hopes of a win even as Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav did try their best.

Earlier, Rahul once again anchored the innings with a well-crafted 77 in company of an imperious Deepak Hooda but LSG didn't seize the initiative completely, despite managing a challenging 195 for 3.

The last five overs yielded 50 runs despite the platform set by the duo, largely due to Marcus Stoinis (17 no off 16 balls) not being able to connect the big shots.

Rahul and Hooda (52 of 34 balls) added 95 runs for the second wicket but more importantly nullified the DC spin threat, taking the duo of Kuldeep Yadav (0/29 in 3 overs), Lalit Yadav (0/16 in 1 over) and partially Axar (0/25 in 4 overs) to the task.

While Rahul, in his 51-ball knock had four fours and five sixes, Hooda had six boundaries, mostly peppering the off-side cordon and a huge six over deep mid-wicket in what was his third half-ton of the season.

While Shardul (3/40 in 4 overs) had best figures for DC, he didn't actually pose any threat to the batters and it didn't help matters that Chetan Sakariya (0/44 in 4 overs) sprayed it all over and was taken to the cleaners, especially by the LSG captain.

Rahul didn't always look smooth during the initial part when he tried to play himself in but once he was able to execute the big hits, he indeed looked a different player.

It was the fourth over from off-spinner Lalit, which opened the floodgates. Rahul played an inside out chip over cover for a six and then lobbed one over '45' for a boundary and then Quinton de Kock smashed one through covers in an over that yielded 16 runs.

Just when it seemed De Kock was finding his feet, he played a suicidal shot. He mistimed a short and wide delivery off Shardul to give Lalit a simple catch at the extra cover. What was exemplary on the day was Rahul and Hooda's footwork as they didn't let Kuldeep settle to a particular length.

Rahul hit an off-drive and Hooda followed it up with a cover-drive in the very first over which prompted the left-arm wrist spinner to lessen pace on his deliveries.

Once, Hooda offered a return catch to Thakur, Rahul was at his innovative best, playing the reverse lap-scoop over short third man off Mustafizur Rahaman.

Unheralded Uttar Pradesh left-arm pacer Mohsin Khan put up an exceptional bowling performance as Lucknow Super Giants beat Delhi Capitals by six runs on Sunday, thereby taking a giant stride towards qualifying for the IPL play-offs. It was skipper KL Rahul's 77 off 51 balls and newly promoted Deepak Hooda's 52 off 34 balls that propelled LSG to an imposing 195 for 3 despite stuttering towards the end of the innings. In reply, Mohsin (4/16 in 4 overs) got breakthroughs exactly when things seemed to spiral out of control as Delhi Capitals finally managed 189 for 7 in the end. LSG now have 14 points from 10 games and another win out of the remaining four games would seal a play-off spot for them considering 16 being the magic number in most years. For DC, things get really tough from hereon as 8 points from nine games mean that they might have to win four out of their remaining five games which looks to be an uphill task with this bowling attack which has been defensive on most occasions. At least two among Rishabh Pant (42 off 24 balls), Mitchell Marsh (37 off 20 balls) and Rovman Powell (35 off 21 balls) needed to score in excess of 60 to make a match of it. But Mohsin, who produced disconcerting bounce with his mostly back of the length balls, occasionally slipped in a fuller blockhole delivery as his victims included all the big names like David Warner (3), Pant, Powell and Shardul Thakur. The way he set up Pant showed Mohsin's cricketing smarts as he bowled short and wide making the DC skipper desperate to reach for the deliveries.

Once Pant was out, it was left to Powell but he was also snuffed out with a short delivery which he couldn't clear ending Delhi's hopes of a win even as Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav did try their best. Earlier, Rahul once again anchored the innings with a well-crafted 77 in company of an imperious Deepak Hooda but LSG didn't seize the initiative completely, despite managing a challenging 195 for 3. The last five overs yielded 50 runs despite the platform set by the duo, largely due to Marcus Stoinis (17 no off 16 balls) not being able to connect the big shots. Rahul and Hooda (52 of 34 balls) added 95 runs for the second wicket but more importantly nullified the DC spin threat, taking the duo of Kuldeep Yadav (0/29 in 3 overs), Lalit Yadav (0/16 in 1 over) and partially Axar (0/25 in 4 overs) to the task. While Rahul, in his 51-ball knock had four fours and five sixes, Hooda had six boundaries, mostly peppering the off-side cordon and a huge six over deep mid-wicket in what was his third half-ton of the season.

Rahul didn't always look smooth during the initial part when he tried to play himself in but once he was able to execute the big hits, he indeed looked a different player. It was the fourth over from off-spinner Lalit, which opened the floodgates. Rahul played an inside out chip over cover for a six and then lobbed one over '45' for a boundary and then Quinton de Kock smashed one through covers in an over that yielded 16 runs. Just when it seemed De Kock was finding his feet, he played a suicidal shot. He mistimed a short and wide delivery off Shardul to give Lalit a simple catch at the extra cover. What was exemplary on the day was Rahul and Hooda's footwork as they didn't let Kuldeep settle to a particular length. Rahul hit an off-drive and Hooda followed it up with a cover-drive in the very first over which prompted the left-arm wrist spinner to lessen pace on his deliveries. Once, Hooda offered a return catch to Thakur, Rahul was at his innovative best, playing the reverse lap-scoop over short third man off Mustafizur Rahaman. He was finally caught by Lalit at deep point as he timed his jump to perfection off a Thakur delivery.

IPL 2022: KL Rahul, Mohsin Khan shine as Lucknow Super Giants beat DC by six runs in close encounter

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul continued his purple patch in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday (May 01). Rahul slammed a brilliant half-century in his side's clash against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to breach the 400-run mark this season.

Rahul is only the second batter after Rajasthan Royals (RR) opener Jos Buttler to have scored over 400 runs so far this season.&nbsp;One of the most consistent run-getters in IPL over the last few years, Rahul led from the front with a 77-run knock of 51 balls laced with five sixes and four fours against DC at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Match 42 of the IPL 2022 edition saw two good friends KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal lock horns with each other as the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) faced the rusty and inconsistent Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MCA Stadium, Pune on Friday evening (April 29).&nbsp;

Opting to bowl first, Mayank-led PBKS got rid of in-form skipper Rahul (6). From thereon, Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda, promoted at No. 3, steadied the ship and the runs started coming after a brief period. Against the run of play, Sandeep Sharma dismissed De Kock and Lucknow's slide started after his departure. From 104-2, they were soon reduced to 111-6. Their middle-order batters, such as Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya and Ayush Badoni, looked in a hurry as they fell cheaply with Kagiso Rabada doing the bulk of the damage.&nbsp;

Just when one thought that Lucknow will struggle to get past the 150-run mark, cameos from pacers Dushmantha Chameera and Mohsin Khan propelled LSG to 153-8. Rabada and Rahul Chahar were the pick of the bowlers but Punjab would have felt they could've restricted Lucknow to somewhere close to 140.

In reply, Punjab were off to a good start courtesy of captain Mayank (17-ball 25) before he and Shikhar Dhawan fell cheaply. Chameera did the early damage and was complemented by Ravi Bishnoi before Mohsin Khan's breakthroughs pushed Punjab out of the contest. Liam Livingstone and Jonny Bairstow challenged for a bit but Rahul's proactive captaincy and good fielding from Lucknow took them home&nbsp;by 20 runs with PBKS managing only 133-8 (despite Rishi Dhawan's late strikes).

The newcomers now have 12 points and take the third spot in the points table.

IPL 2022: KL Rahul triumphs over good friend Mayank Agarwal as LSG beat PBKS by 20 runs

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 20 runs on Friday (April 29) as they bagged crucial two points to move up on the points table. The KL Rahul-led side successfully defended a total of 153 runs to bag their second win in a row. While the batters didn't live up to the expectations, the bowlers were on the money for Lucknow Super Giants.

Skipper Rahul was not happy after the poor show from his batters in the first innings at the MCA Stadium in Pune as he slammed them for throwing away their wickets cheaply in the middle overs. Rahul said LSG batters played 'stupid cricket' and revealed he was fuming at the end of the first innings as he thought his side could have scored 20-30 more runs.

Batting first, Lucknow Super Giants got off to a shaky start as they lost Rahul cheaply on 6 off 11 balls before opener Quinton de Kock (46) combined with Deepak Hooda (34) to put on an 85-run stand for the second wicket on a difficult pitch. However, after the duo's departure, LSG lost the likes of Krunal Pandya (7), Marcus Stoinis (1) and Ayush Badoni (4) in quick succession as none of them managed to forge a partnership.

"I was disappointed and fuming at the end of the first innings. We played stupid cricket with the bat," Rahul said at the post-match presentation as he slammed his middle-order batters for their poor show.

"We need to get better with the bat. Half-time, when Quinny and Deepak were batting. They paced it really, really well to get to 60 in 9 overs on a tricky wicket. Had we batted smartly, we could have gotten to 180-190.

"I think we just need to be smarter at reading the game. If we could not have played too many shots, we could have done better. We have been good on the field and good with the ball. Just need to keep repeating the good things," the LSG skipper added.

At the post-match presentation, a jubiliant Rahul said, "I was disappointed and fuming at the end of the first innings. Stupid cricket with the bat. It does happen but we did talk about it at the time-out. We did talk that we can defend 160 as this wasn't a great pitch.

Updated IPL 2022 points table after Lucknow Super Giants versus Punjab Kings clash

IPL 2022's match 43 will see the Punjab Kings (PBKS) face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune on Friday evening (April 29). Both sides are coming into this fixture with a win in their last game, respectively.

Punjab beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) second time in the season whereas Lucknow are fresh from completing a double over Mumbai Indians (MI). At this stage, every match is very crucial for all the playoffs contenders and, hence, both teams will be on their toes for the marquee encounter. While Punjab's batters have not been very consistent, they have still contributed with some runs from the willow of Shikhar Dhawan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, etc. They also found a much-better team balance against Chennai and, hence, will be looking to carry on in similar stead.&nbsp;

On the other hand, Lucknow need more batters to raise their hands as they won't like to depend too much on skipper KL Rahul, who already has two centuries this season. The likes of Quinton de Kock, Manish Pandey, Krunal Pandya will like to deliver more with the bat. Meanwhile, LSG can also rethink their batting line-up, making more use of all-rounders and hard-hitters Jason Holder and Marcus Stoinis up the order.

Expect a high-scoring affair, although this week's Rajasthan-Bengaluru match was a low-scorer. Tough to choose a winner.

PBKS vs LSG, IPL 2022 prediction today: Who will win Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants match?

Mumbai Indians (MI) are yet to get off the mark in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they continue to endure a forgetful campaign this year. Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. have lost their first eight matches in a row in what has been a disastrous start for the five-time champions.

Mumbai Indians slipped to their eighth successive defeat in their last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI failed to chase down the target of 169 runs as they were restricted to 132/8 in 20 overs by the LSG bowlers, who produced an excellent combined effort.

Krunal Pandya was the pick of the bowlers for LSG as he picked up a three-wicket haul in the game, including the prized scalp of Kieron Pollard. Krunal stole the show with his performance but his unique send-off for Pollard became one of the talking points of the game.

After dismissing him, Krunal jumped on Pollard's back and gave his former Mumbai Indians teammate a kiss on his head. The duo, who share a great bond off the pitch, often enjoy on-field banter with each other. Pollard recently took to Instagram to react to Krunal's unique send-off.

"@krunalpandya_official welcome to the collection of wkts… you know how serious I am with my bowling. In the end it was 1-1. #myboy . #greatfriendship #camaraderie . All good fun," wrote the Mumbai Indians star in an Instagram post.

Mumbai Indians (MI) are yet to get off the mark in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 as they continue to endure a forgetful campaign this year. Rohit Sharma & Co. have lost their first eight matches in a row in what has been a disastrous start for the five-time champions. Mumbai Indians slipped to their eighth successive defeat in their last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. MI failed to chase down the target of 169 runs as they were restricted to 132/8 in 20 overs by the LSG bowlers, who produced an excellent combined effort. Krunal Pandya was the pick of the bowlers for LSG as he picked up a three-wicket haul in the game, including the prized scalp of Kieron Pollard.

'In the end it was 1-1': Kieron Pollard reacts to Krunal Pandya's unique send-off for him in MI vs LSG clash

Krunal Pandya claimed 3/19 after skipper KL Rahul struck an unbeaten 103 as Lucknow Super Giants handed Mumbai Indians a second successive defeat this season, winning by 36 runs in Match 37 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday. 
 
Krunal picked up the wickets of dangerous Rohit Sharma (39), Mumbai Indians` top scorer, Kieron Pollard (19) and Daniel Sams (3) to lead a clinical bowling performance by Lucknow Super Giants as they registered their fifth win of the season and moved to fourth in the points table with 10 points. 
 
Gujarat Titans lead with 12 points followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants, and Royal Challengers Bangalore -- in that order -- all with 10 points.

Mumbai Indians` woeful season continued as they slumped to their eighth defeat of the season and remain winless, plumbing the bottom of the table. 
 
After restricting LSG to 168/6 despite Rahul`s unbeaten century, Mumbai Indians were in a good position to go for their first win of the season. Things started well but they lost their way in the middle overs and succumbed to another defeat. 
 
Mumbai Indians had a good start, reaching 43/0 in the power-play, While Ishan Kishan, Mumbai Indian`s costliest buy in the mega auction before IPL 2022, scratched around for a 20-ball eight, skipper Rohit Sharma looked in good form as he made for him partner`s lack of runs. 
 
Rohit started with a four of the last ball of the first over, cutting a short and wide one by Mohsin Khan over backward point for a one-bounce four. He smashed Jason Holder and D Chameera for boundaries in successive overs and then struck Holder for a six and a four off successive deliveries in the sixth over.

But just when it looked like he and Suryakumar Yadav would take Mumbai to safety, Rohit got out, caught by substitute K Gowtham at short third man as the Mumbai Indians skipper attempts to slog over a length ball by Krunal on off-stump and top-edges it. 
 
Suryakumar Yadav, promoted in the batting order for this match, did not last long as he is out for 7, Mumbai Indians slumping to 67/4. 
 
Young Tilak Varma and the seasoned Kieron Pollard kept the fight alive by raising 57 runs for the fifth wicket, Varma hitting some pleasing shots as he took the battle to the LSG bowlers. 
 
But he got out at the most inappropriate time for Mumbai Indians, caught by Ravi Bishnoi of Jason Holder for 38 (31 balls, 2x4, 2x6) as Mumbai slumped to 124/5. Pollard too was out soon, trying to force the pace, caught by Dipak Hoods off Krunal Pandya and Mumbai Indians` hopes ended as they went on to lose by 36 runs.

IPL 2022: KL Rahul scores brilliant century as Lucknow Super Giants beat Mumbai Indians

Lucknow Super Giants moved up to the fourth spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table after defeating Mumbai Indians by 36 runs on Sunday. With 10 points from eight matches, they have the same points as Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad who have played one game less.

KL Rahul was the top performer for LSG as he scored his second century of the tournament thanks to 12 fours and four sixes. Thanks to his century, he equaled the record of Rohit Sharma’s six T20 tons.

IPL 2022: Updated points table after Lucknow Super Giants beat Mumbai Indians by 36 runs

Former India wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel has slammed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Krunal Pandya for his 'over the top' send-off to Mumbai Indians (MI) star Kieron Pollard in the clash between the two sides in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday.

LSG defeated Mumbai Indians comprehensively by 36 runs at the Wankhede Stadium to extend Rohit Sharma &amp; Co's winless streak to eight matches this season. Mumbai Indians failed to chase down the target of 169 runs against LSG as their batting line-up faltered once again with Pandya starring with a three-wicket haul for the KL Rahul-led side.

While he bowled a brilliant spell, Pandya caught everyone's attention when he gave a unique send-off to Pollard after dismissing his ex-Mumbai Indians teammate in the game. Krunal went on to jump on Pollard from the back and gave him a kiss on his helmet as the Mumbai Indians all-rounder departed in the 20th over of his side's run-chase.

While Pollard didn't react to the send-off from Pandya, former Team India and Mumbai Indians star Parthiv lashed out at Krunal for going overboard with his celebration. While Patel insisted Pandya and Pollard are good friends off the field, the LSG all-rounder should not have avoided the send-off given MI's woeful performances this season.

“Krunal and Pollard are very good friends, but things are different on the field. Pollard has not been scoring runs. Also, Mumbai have also been on a losing spree. It’s important to give people space at that point. In the dressing room, you can have as much banter as you want for the whole year. But, I feel this reaction was over the top,” Parthiv said on Cricbuzz.

Asked to chase 169 runs at the Wankhede Stadium, many had thought MI would bring an end to their losing streak and bag their first win against LSG this season. They also got off to a good start with a 49-run stand for the first wicket between skipper Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan before Kishan's departure triggered a collapse.

Pollard batted till the final over of the game but failed to take his side home as he could only manage 20 off 19 balls and was dismissed on the first ball of the 20th over. Mumbai Indians have now lost eight games in a row this season and are the only team yet to get off the mark.
