Mohammad Shami's Last-Ball Six Forces Super Over in IPL Thriller Between LSG and KKR

Lucknow Super Giants are sending Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran to bat. Ajinkya Rahane has taken a big call and is going with spin, as Sunil Narine will bowl the Super Over. Pooran will take strike. Let's take you back to CPL 2014, when these two faced each other in the Super Over, and Narine bowled a maiden. What will happen here? Let's see. With Lucknow having batted second in the regulation game, they will now bat first in the Super Over. Plenty of chatter in the LSG camp as they decide on their three batters, while Dwayne Bravo is in deep conversation with Ajinkya Rahane over who will take the ball for this Super Over. Would you believe it? Mohammad Shami has taken this game into a Super Over with a last-ball six! Kolkata Knight Riders were almost home, but that's exactly why this league is so unpredictable. The final over was packed with drama, but those two costly No-Balls have hurt Kolkata badly. Tyagi did well to recover, but just couldn't finish the job. LSG will feel the momentum is firmly with them now, while KKR look a bit deflated and will need to regroup quickly.

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammad Shami, SIX! SHAMI GOES BIG AND CLEARS THE FENCE! Oh, Shami, what are you made of? He unfurls a clean hit to keep his side well and truly alive by the barest of margins. Kartik misses his length and lands it right into the slot, on the off stump. Shami has a free-flowing swing at it. Clears the front leg to make room for himself. Generates enough power by getting under it and pumps it over the long off fence for a cracking six. We are going into the Super Over. Absolute scenes at the Ekana Stadium as KKR have been left shell-shocked. Not a 200-plus game, not a belter of a wicket by any stretch of the imagination, but still, we have witnessed a classic IPL low-scoring thriller. Highly entertaining stuff.

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammad Shami, Big swing and a miss! Length ball, wide outside off. Shami stays put and has a swing at it but misses, and it goes through to the keeper. Right, 7 needed off the final delivery. A six for the Super Over.

Kartik Tyagi to Prince Yadav, Slower bouncer, following the batter as Prince shuffles far outside off. Prince attempts to scoop it over short fine leg, but does not connect. Tim Seifert fumbles to gather it cleanly behind the stumps and the batters cross over for a bye. By the time Seifert's throw reaches the bowling end, Prince is home comfortably. Had Seifert aimed at the stumps at the batting end, Shami could have been in trouble.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, OUT! HIT STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Guess who's the man in the deep. It's Rinku Singh. He can even walk on water today. The tables turn yet again as this game refuses to settle. Back of a length outside off. Himmat goes back in the crease and pulls it towards deep backward square, but Rinku Singh is stationed right there. He barely has to move forward, settles underneath it comfortably and takes the catch. LSG are 148/8, needing 8 runs from 3 balls.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, FOUR! Himmat Singh is playing a gem of a knock for his side. Kartik goes short and slow into the pitch, over the top of off. Himmat Singh stands deep in his crease and hammers it with a pull shot over square leg for a boundary. LSG need 8 from 4 balls. Kartik is under tremendous pressure. Tensed faces in the visitors' dugout.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, Oh..no! Is that another No Ball for height? Looks like it. Kartik Tyagi once again bowls a high full toss, on off. Himmat Singh connects this time but gets more height on it. It flies towards long on, where Rovman Powell grabs it and quickly releases the throw back, but cannot stop the second run. Kartik Tyagi asks his skipper to take the review for the No Ball. The Ball Tracking comes up and shows that the ball is well above the waist of the batter. The on-field calls stay. It will be another Free Hit.

Kartik Tyagi to Himmat Singh, NO BALL! Dear me, that's a hostile beamer. Kartik misses his radar completely and slips in a wild full toss on off stump. Himmat does well to get the bat on it and protect himself in evasive action. It comes off the splice and drops into the short mid-wicket region. Free Hit coming up...

Kartik Tyagi to Mohammad Shami, Back of a length, slower one, outside off. Shami misses to play the square cut on the off side and the ball bounces behind to the keeper, but Seifert fails to collect it cleanly due to the awkward bounce and the batters cross for a bye. Last over coming up now. Remember, Kolkata Knight Riders got 26 runs in their last over, and that is what is proving to be the difference between the two sides at the moment. Kartik Tyagi will bowl the final over. Can he defend 16 runs here? All three results still possible.

Vaibhav Arora to Mohammad Shami, Full toss, wide of off, Mohammad Shami slashes hard at it but misses out to get any sort of connection with the ball. This is touch and go with the height but the umpire keeps his arms down and Shami doesn't send this upstairs as well.

Vaibhav Arora to Mohammad Shami, FOUR! Shami goes down the ground! Vaibhav misses his length, serving up a full toss on the middle stump line. Shami gets on the front foot and lofts it hard down the ground. It just beats Rinku diving to his right at long off.

Vaibhav Arora to George Linde, OUT! EASILY CAUGHT! All going KKR's way now. Full length and pitching outside leg, following Linde with pace on. He makes room and swings down the ground, gets the elevation, but not the distance. He could not get the full swing of the bat, and that proves costly. Rinku rides the long on boundary and takes the catch. He is not dropping those dollies. LSG are 129/7.

Varun Chakaravarthy to George Linde, FOUR! Good attempt by Ramandeep Singh but in vain. On the shorter side and outside off. Linde rocks back and slaps a flat-batted hit over the bowler's head. Ramandeep is racing in from wide long on to his right, gets there and tries to slap the ball back in, but it bounces inside the fence.

Varun Chakaravarthy to George Linde, FOUR! A tough chance put down, and worse, it's a four! Short of a length outside off. Linde rocks back and slams it hard over extra cover. Powell is running across from long off, gets to it and throws himself into a dive, managing to get a fingertip on the ball. But he cannot hold on, and it rolls away behind him and the converging deep cover fielder is too far to back it up and the ball rolls into the fence for four.

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ayush Badoni, OUT! CAUGHT IN THE DEEP! Badoni holes out now and this could be a massive moment in the game. A touch short, on middle and off. Ayush Badoni bends a bit low and tries to pull it over deep mid-wicket, but is cramped up for space and hence cannot generate enough power on the shot. It goes only as far as the fielder stationed in the deep. Anukul Roy at deep mid-wicket bends low as the ball dips on him and takes a finely judged catch. Lucknow Super Giants are 120/6, still requiring 36 runs from 15 balls.

Kartik Tyagi to Ayush Badoni, Badoni shows his cards early again, shuffling to the off side, trying to play the scoop shot. But this time, Tyagi bowls it close to his body and cramps him for space. Ayush misses to lay his bat on the ball and it zips past his bat to the keeper.

Anukul Roy to Ayush Badoni, SIX! Tossed up, around off, Ayush Badoni steps a shade across the stumps, plants his front foot close to the pitch of the ball and smashes this over the fence for a biggie towards the wide long off region. 100 UP FOR LSG! Strategic Break! With the dismissal of Mukul Choudhary, who played a match-winning knock against KKR in the previous meeting, the visitors will feel they are ahead in this game. However, LSG were in a similar situation, and maybe they can unearth another hero, making his name on the world stage. They still have Ayush Badoni out there, who will hold the key in this chase for them. Kolkata Knight Riders will want to keep chipping in with the wickets and not allow the hosts to get back in the game, as they did in Kolkata. Also, Himmat Singh comes out to the middle now.

Anukul Roy to Mukul Choudhary, OUT! CAUGHT! The chase is falling apart for the Super Giants now. Short of a length, around middle and leg, Mukul Choudhary goes deep in the crease and looks to take on the boundary rider at deep mid-wicket, targeting the larger boundary as well. Doesn't get enough power behind the ball and ends up hitting it to the right of Rinku Singh in that region. Rinku runs well to his right and gathers this nice and clean. Mukul Choudhary departs for just 1.
