IPL 2023 Latest Points Table Update: Lucknow 3rd as Mumbai Slip to 4th; Du Plessis Keeps Orange Cap, Purple Cap Stays With Shami

Tim David and Cameron Green were in the middle. Mumbai Indians needed 11 runs in the final over to beat Lucknow Super Giants. Tim had just belted two sixes in the 19th over. Mohsin Khan was asked to defend the runs by his skipper Krunal Pandya.

And the left-arm pacer delivered, producing one of the finest overs of IPL 2023 as he allowed just five runs sealing a thrilling five-run win for LSG that has kept their playoffs chances alive.

Before Mohsin’s last-over heroics, there were two significant individual performances from LSG players that set up the vital win. Marcus Stoinis blasted an unbeaten 89 off 47 to propel his team to a challenging 177/3.

Then when MI were going all guns blazing in the chase, Ravi Bishnoi struck in his successive overs to remove Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan to bring Lucknow back.
