Lucknow Super Giants defeated the Rajasthan Royals by two runs in the 36th match of IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. LSG won the last over thriller thanks to Avesh Khan’s bowling.
After winning the toss, LSG chose to bat, but the top order of Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and Rishabh Pant crumbled inside eight overs.

Abdul Samad smashed four sixes in his 30-run cameo off 10 deliveries, ending the innings with 180 runs on board.
Wanindu Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, while Jofra Archer, Sandeep Sharma, and Tushar Deshpande grabbed one apiece.
