In a nail-scorcher, Lucknow Super Giants pipped Rajasthan Royals by 2 runs courtesy of Avesh Khan's superb last over with so much pressure. Chasing a competitive 180/5, LSG were driven by match-winning half-centuries from Ayush Badoni (50 off 34) and Aiden Markram (66 off 45), while Abdul Samad's incendiary 30* off mere 10 balls provided the ideal finish.
