Batting first, LSG faced early setbacks as Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul fell cheaply in the powerplay, courtesy of Umesh Yadav's tight bowling. However, Marcus Stoinis and Rahul stabilized the innings with a crucial partnership, rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose deliveries. Stoinis, in particular, played a pivotal role, reaching a well-deserved fifty before being dismissed by Darshan Nalkande for 58 runs.

Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni provided the late flourish for LSG, with Pooran remaining unbeaten on 32 runs. Umesh Yadav and Darshan Nalkande starred for GT, claiming crucial wickets to keep LSG's total on163 runs.

In response, GT's chase started positively with Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan forming a solid opening partnership. However, Yash Thakur's breakthrough wicket of Gill in the powerplay shifted the momentum towards LSG. Thakur's exceptional bowling performance, supported by Krunal Pandya's brilliance in the middle overs, restricted GT's progress.

Despite Rahul Tewatia's valiant effort with the bat, GT's middle order faltered, failing to build partnerships and falling short of the target. Thakur's career-best figures of 5/30 and Ravi Bishnoi's crucial catch further dented GT's hopes as they were bundled out for 130 runs.

LSG's collective effort, both with the bat and ball, reflected their determination and ability to execute under pressure. With this victory, LSG continues to showcase their dominance in the IPL 2024 season, setting the stage for an exciting journey ahead in this IPL 2024.
