Yesterday Match Result: LSG vs RCB IPL 2026 Highlights, May 7
Mitchell Marsh hit an aggressive century to help last-place Lucknow Super Giants snap a six-match losing streak with a win over defending champion Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-affected Indian Premier League game on Thursday.
Match Summary
In the nine-run victory on the DLS Method, Marsh smashed 111 off 56 balls with nine sixes and nine fours in Lucknow’s total of 209-3 after the game was reduced to 19-overs-a-side due to rain interruptions during Lucknow’s innings, and Bengaluru’s target was revised to 213.
Virat Kohli fell for a two-ball duck in Bengaluru’s chase of 203-6 when his off stump was knocked over by Prince Yadav (3-33) in the second over. Captain Rajat Patidar smacked 61 off 31 balls while Tim David (40), Krunal Pandya (28 not out), and Romario Shepherd (23 not out) also played cameos to bring Bengaluru close to the target.
Post-Match Reaction
“It was a good game for us, for sure,” Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant said. “We have been trying to put together a perfect game where batting and bowling come together … really happy to get a win here.”
Kohli’s first IPL duck since 2023 left Bengaluru struggling at 9-2, but Patidar revived hopes with his aggressive batting — especially against fast bowler Mayank Yadav (0-50) and spinner Digvesh Rathi (0-50).
Key Moments
The return of Prince in the 11th over earned Lucknow wickets of Devdutt Padikkal, who got deceived by a slower ball, and struggling Jitesh Sharma, who top-edged a pull shot to Pant behind the wickets.
Shahbaz Ahmed’s return to Lucknow’s starting lineup also paid off as he dismissed Patidar in his first over, and then, when David looked to take the game away, he had the Australian caught at cover point in the 16th over.
With Bengaluru needing 20 off Rathi’s final over, the spinner conceded just one boundary to seal the game for Lucknow.
