RCB vs LSG Match Highlights: The IPL 2022 season of Lucknow Super Giants(LSG) has concluded as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) advances to Qualifier 2. The Eliminator match had been a high-scoring encounter. Nevertheless, an objective of 208 proved tough for LSG, as RCB won by 14 runs. Rajat Patidar, who produced a magnificent century, was the driving force in the development of RCB’s win. Here we can have a look at RCB vs LSG Match Highlights for Qualifier 2.
LSG won the toss and chose to bowl first, while RCB had a poor start to the innings, losing opening batsman Faf du Plessis for a golden duck in the very first over against Mohsin Khan. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar have stood up for the squad to establish a tough objective for the opponents. The pair put up a vital 66-run stand for the 2nd wicket before Kohli departed for 25 runs off 24 balls to Avesh Khan.
Rajat Patidar seemed to be aggressive with the bat, but he lacked a partner to form a critical partnership for the wicket, as Glenn Maxwell was removed by Krunal Pandya for only 9 runs. The next batsman, Mahipal Lomror, scored 14 runs on 9 balls before coming up short against Ravi Bishnoi.

Meanwhile, Dinesh Karthik teamed up with the well-settled rookie hitter Patidar to forge a masterclass knock in their quest to win their first IPL trophy. With a 92-run partnership, the duo performed an eye-catching knock. Patidar, meantime, achieved his first century in the competition.
Rajat Patidar was ruthless against the LSG bowlers, who smashed the ball hard and went undefeated with 112 runs off 54 balls, featuring 12 fours and seven sixes with a strike rate of 207.41. While Karthik, who was at his best this season, struck 37 from 23 balls, including 5 fours and a maximum. After losing four wickets in 20 overs, RCB set a tall 208 objective for LSG, thanks to Patidar’s powerful knock.

Lucknow got off to a terrible start in pursuit of the lofty objective, losing opening batsman Quinton de Kock for only 6 runs to Mohammed Siraj. It’s worth noting that de Kock was at his best in the last battle but failed to sustain the momentum. Skipper KL Rahul and Manan Vohra, on the other hand, seemed to be optimistic about achieving the target. However, Hazlewood’s attack became crucial for RCB, who bowled Vohra for 19 off 11 balls.
KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda formed an important stand to save the wicket. Before W Hasaranga bowled Hooda for 45 (26), the pair added 96 runs to the scorecard. Meanwhile, Rahul managed to smash the ball forcefully in an attempt to attain the target, but his 79 runs off 58 balls were in vain as the batting order collapsed in a short session, and the equation got challenging for the team.
RCB’s victory was assured by the outstanding bowling performances of Harshal Patel and Josh Hazlewood in the last overs of the match. LSG was restricted to 193/6 in their allocated 20 overs, resulting in a 14-run setback.
