Another last over victory and another case of a bowler keeping his head calm in the final over. Well done @LucknowIPL for defending a total of 154 runs, the lowest defended score of this season. A stupendous team effort! ?#RRvLSG #IPL2O23 pic.twitter.com/TN5TsWMQ3q

So often when you are chasing 150-160, you can lull yourself into thinking you can accelerate at any point if you have wickets in hand. That is where a lot of such games are lost

With that RR defeat, every side has now lost at least one game at their original home ground in #IPL2O23
