The <\/span>Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)<\/span> kept their playoff hopes alive with a hard-fought <\/span>9-run victory<\/span> (via DLS method) over <\/span>Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)<\/span> in Match 50 of IPL 2026. In a contest repeatedly interrupted by rain on the Ekana Stadium on Thursday, May 7, a monumental century by <\/span>Mitchell Marsh<\/span>proved to be the difference, snapping Lucknow\u2019s six-match losing streak.<\/span><\/p>\n Sent in to bat first, the Super Giants were propelled by a career-best performance from Mitchell Marsh. The Australian all-rounder was in sublime touch, smashing <\/span>111 runs off just 56 balls<\/span>, featuring 9 boundaries and 9 towering sixes. <\/span><\/p>\n Marsh reached his century in only 49 deliveries, marking his second hundred in IPL history. He was well-supported by <\/span>Nicholas Pooran (38 off 23)<\/span> and a blistering cameo from captain <\/span>Rishabh Pant<\/span>, who remained unbeaten on <\/span>32 off 10 balls<\/span>*. Despite the rain interruptions, LSG posted a frightening <\/span>209\/3<\/span> of their allotted 19 overs.<\/span><\/p>\n Listed below are some twitter reactions:<\/span><\/p>\n LSG BEAT RCB BY 9 RUNS \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n \u2013 LSG BREAKS THEIR LOSING STREAK.#LSGvsRCB<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/2RmaLivjFN<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 30yardsstories (@30yardsstories) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/anuppalagt\/status\/2052465672979198221?s=46<\/p>\n LSG has done the unbelievable, they won after 6 consecutive losses and that too against mighty RCB<\/p>\n RCB have lost 2 consecutive matches , top 4 spots are actually completely open and we’re in for some entertainment in the approaching week#LSGvsRCB<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/9JBfmcYLFQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Stumper (@TheStumpStory) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Last 12 months digvesh lost the battle against RCB Not a lsg fan \u2026 But as a Cricket fan you possibly can never write off any player \ud83d\udcaf pic.twitter.com\/m8yyT6Hbal<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Prxtham.Edits18 (@Prxtham_Edits18) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n LSG SCRIPT HISTORIC TURNAROUND! \u2014 Yogesh Goswami (@yogeshgoswami_) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If the BCCI fines Prince Yadav for \u201caggressive celebration\u201d after that moment in LSG vs RCB\u2026 I genuinely won\u2019t be surprised.#IPL2026<\/a> #LSGvRCB<\/a> #RCB<\/a> #LSG<\/a> #IPL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/fjc9qoDEAo<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Yogz_Media (@Yogi_Halai190) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n TATA IPL 2026 POINT’S TABLE AFTER RCB vs LSG CLASH. pic.twitter.com\/UbUrrI8BYV<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Puneet Awasthi (@PuneetA77622712) May 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Chasing a revised DLS goal of <\/span>213<\/span> in 19 overs, RCB\u2019s start was disastrous. <\/span>Prince Yadav<\/span> delivered a double-strike within the second over, dismissing <\/span>Virat Kohli<\/span> for a two-ball duck and Jacob Bethell for 4. <\/span><\/p>\n Nonetheless, skipper <\/span>Rajat Patidar<\/span> kept the chase alive with an excellent <\/span>61 off 31 balls<\/span>, including 6 sixes. He found support from <\/span>Devdutt Padikkal (34)<\/span> and a late-inning explosion from <\/span>Tim David<\/span>, who hammered <\/span>40 off 17 balls<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n The match stayed close until the sixteenth over, when Shahbaz Ahmed took the vital wicket of David. Despite late hitting from Krunal Pandya (28*) and Romario Shepherd (23*), Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn’t rating the remaining 20 runs in the ultimate over. <\/span><\/p>\n Prince Yadav was the very best bowler with figures of three\/33, while Shahbaz Ahmed picked up 2\/33. With this victory, LSG moves to six points and stays within the hunt for the highest 4. <\/span>Mitchell Marsh<\/span> was rightfully named <\/span>Player of the Match<\/span> for his match-winning ton.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the newest cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a> for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
