Milestone
That is it for Super Saturday! In the first match of the afternoon, it was Chennai Super Kings with a dominating win over Delhi Capitals. CSK finished second in the table and will play against Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier. The second game of the double-header was a thriller and Lucknow Super Giants held their nerve to clinch a narrow win of 1 run. LSG finished in the third spot and will play the Eliminator and with whom is a question. The answer will come tomorrow! So three teams fight for the 4th spot!
Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals are still in the race to the playoffs but only one can make it. If MI loses against SRH in the first match of the Super Sunday and RCB wins against GT, then it's RCB. If MI wins and RCB loses tomorrow, then it's MI. And if both RCB and MI lose their respective matches by a certain margin, then RR might peep into the knockouts!
For now, it is me AkshayaKrishna Polya, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Arijit Kundu and Anirudh Modi, who, alongside, our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav, brought you all the live-action of this mouth-watering fixture.

Nicholas Pooran: "First of all, I would love to thank my god. He is my strength. I thought to get deep as possible. Small ground and I felt that they would serve me with bad balls in the middle, so tried to take as deep as possible. I have batted well through this tournament. I take pride to take my team out of such tight situations. The time has been invested on me heavily and I am trying my best to repay. Ayush and I had a partnership in Lucknow against Chennai. It was similar to this one. So we had a chat to take it deep again. I was confident batting with him. It is nice to win the last two games. What is impressive for us is that our bowlers did brilliantly well and kept us in the game. With the dew coming and the dimension of Kolkata, our bowlers did a tremendous job. They are pretty impressive in our wins. We have a young bowling attack and it is impressive they defended the total here in Kolkata."

Krunal Pandya (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): "Thank you so much, first reaction is satisfaction. Just really happy with the way we have played, there was a lot of pressure while batting and bowling, but if you focus, you can pull it off.
Everything starts from the belief, at one stage when they were 61/1, I just thought 2-3 overs can change the game, there was a lot of help for the spinners, if we bowled in the right areas and bowled dot balls which would force them to take the high risk, we had a chance.
Rinku has been special this year, he showed it again tonight. The way he batted, it's a high pressure situation at the death and it's important to execute well, let's take it one ball at a time and not give away any easy balls. I go with my gut, last game I felt there was a bit of reverse swing so I went with Mohsin and today it just felt right to give Yash the over and it paid off."
