Conclusion LSG vs GT Match 30 IPL 2023
The score was not big and LSG started well . When you just need 27 out of 24 balls with 8 wickets in hand you would expect that team to win . But, GT bowled good lines and the 20th over magical bowling by Mohit Sharma made sure it’s GT who pulls off something awesome. The slow SR by KL Rahul where he made 68 runs in 61 balls is slow as per IPL standards and is one of the reason for LSG loosing as well. Finally, Gujrat Titans won by 7 runs and Mohit Sharma was given man of the match for his wonderful last over.
