In a thrilling match, Kolkata Knight Riders finally celebrated their first-ever win against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL history. Record signing Mitchell Starc's impressive bowling performance, picking three wickets, and Phil Salt's explosive fifty helped KKR secure their fourth win of the season. Despite a strong start, Lucknow struggled to maintain partnerships and were restricted to a modest total of 161/7. KKR's fit-again pacers Mohsin Khan and Varun Chakaravarthy initially made things difficult for Kolkata's batting but Salt's unbeaten 89 and skipper Iyer's 38* easily led the team to victory with 26 balls to spare.
