6,4,4,4: Marcus Stoinis takes IPL by storm with spectacular final over heroics. Look cricket news

In response to the ton, Marcus Stoinis scored his maiden IPL century to beat Ruturaj Gaikwad’s century as Chennai Super Kings led Lucknow Super Giants to a six-wicket win in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Helped to get it. Tuesday Coming in after the fall of the first wicket in the first over, Stoinis scored an unbeaten 124 off 63 balls, helping Lucknow Super Giants reach 213/4, while Giakwad’s unbeaten 108 off 60 balls helped Chennai Super Kings reach 20/4. Reached 210/4. Over.

Chasing a big target, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) got an initial blow as Quinton de Kock was out for a duck. The batsman took the ball back onto his stumps to attempt a cut and cut the ball as it swung outside off. In the first four matches of the season, KL Rahul scored runs in the power-play at a strike rate of 125.49. But after that he broke it to 185.11 in this phase.

He looked dangerous once again. After the early wicket, Rahul and Marcus Stoinis continued LSG’s chase but were pushed back by Mustafizur Rahman. After hitting the first four in the over, Rahul went for another big hit but failed to dismiss Gaikwad at extra cover. Rahut was out after scoring 16 runs. At the end of six overs, LSG’s score was 45/2 and Stoinis continued to move up the scoreboard.

Devdutt Padikkal came as an impact player. He has struggled for runs in this IPL and it was the same story against CSK when he was on 12 off 16 balls.

Meanwhile, Stoinis is almost single-handedly keeping LSG in the contest. He completed his half-century in 26 balls with the help of six fours and two sixes. But it is still a difficult task. After 10 overs, LSG’s score was 83/2 and 128 runs were needed in the next ten overs. The ball hit the line of leg stump of Matisha Pathirana at a speed of 151.4 kilometers per hour and Padikkal had no answer to it. He retreated but was quickly beaten and his leg stump dislocated. He was out after scoring 13 runs in 19 balls. After 11, LSG’s score was 88/3 and they needed 123 runs from nine overs.

The only reason LSG could chase was due to dew in the second half. And it looked like it would make a difference because Tushar Deshpande had bowled a high no-ball a few overs earlier. If more proof was needed, a cutter from Mustafizur came onto the bat well into the pitch – Stoinis hit it straight off the backfoot. Shardul Thakur bowled the 16th over. Pooran and Stoinis knew they had to make it big as the remaining four were to be bowled by Mustafizur and Pathirana. Pooran ensured that LSG did not miss and scored 6, 4, 6 runs off the first three balls. Overall 20 runs were scored. LSG needed 54 from 24 deliveries as the demand rate dropped to 13.5.

Puran was also trying to beat Pathirana, but missed Shardul Thakur at long-off. Deepak Hooda was the new batsman and he hit a six over deep square leg on his second ball. Meanwhile, Stoinis completed his maiden IPL century in 56 balls. LSG needed 32 runs from two overs. Hooda hit two fours on Pathirana and scored 15 runs in the last over with one four from Stoinis.

LSG now needed 17 runs from the last over bowled by Mustafizur Rahman. Stoinis launched the first shot over long-on and then hit the next shot for four runs. Luck also favored him as the next player ran to the right of the short third man. Fizz had also overstepped, reducing the equation to needing two out of four balls. On the next, Stoinis stepped up and pulled a short ball to backward square leg to seal the deal for LSG with six wickets and three balls to spare.

Take. A.Bo Marcus Stoinis
