Kolkata: Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) batters Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh’s magnificent fifties outsmarted the hosts Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four runs in the last over thriller at their home, Eden Gardens on Tuesday. With this victory, the Super Giants team jumped to the fourth spot (six points) whereas following the loss the Knight Riders slipped to the sixth spot (four points) in the IPL 2025 points table.

Both players built a partnership of 37 runs from 15 balls before De Kock was sent back to the pavillion in the third over on the bowling of right-arm seamer Akash Deep.

Following the wicketkeeper-batter’s dismissal, team skipper Ajinkya Rahane (61 runs in 35 balls) came out in the middle to bat along with Narine. The KKR side touched the 50-run mark in the fourth over.
