Super Over drama after late twist
Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders finished level on 155, forced into a Super Over by Mohammed Shami’s last-ball six. With seven needed off two, Shami stayed still, trusted the length, and hit straight. It was clean and decisive. For a bowler by trade, it was exactly what was required in the moment.
In the dugout, Dwayne Bravo looked stunned. LSG had no right to get there, but Shami’s finish changed that. He made it a Super Over.
Last over turns the game
Defending 155, KKR turned to Kartik Tyagi. The over lost shape quickly. Two high full-toss no-balls disrupted the plan, and the field kept changing. Himmat Singh struck a boundary off the free hit to keep LSG alive.
The equation came down to seven off two. Tyagi missed the yorker and offered pace on a hittable length. Shami did not overhit. He got into position and struck through the line. That single shot erased everything that came before.
Match shaped by earlier chaos
The tie followed a game already tilted by Mohsin Khan’s five-wicket haul and a controversial obstructing-the-field call involving Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
KKR’s 155 for 7 looked enough for long periods. It wasn’t. Shami, the batter, did what was needed at the end and took the game beyond 40 overs.
