How Statz Rating works:
- Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
- Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders – IPL 2026 Match Report | Statz
Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Indian Premier League 2026. Match tied (Kolkata Knight Riders won the Super Over). That was the extraordinary conclusion to the 38th match of 74 in IPL 2026, played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday. For KKR, a priceless two points in a season threatening to derail completely. For LSG, a gut-punch exit from a match they had right in their hands – and a situation at the bottom of the table that is becoming genuinely alarming.
LSG won the toss and elected to bowl, a decision that looked inspired when Mohsin Khan tore through KKR’s top order. LSG needed just two runs from the last ball of the 20th over. They could not get them. One over later, it was KKR who celebrated.
First Innings – KKR 155/7 (20 Overs)
KKR were in serious trouble early. Tim Seifert fell for a duck off 3 balls (3 on the board, over 1.6), then Ajinkya Rahane was caught for 10 off 15 at 16/2 from 3.4 overs. Mohsin Khan was the architect of the early wreckage, operating at an economy of 5.75 that kept the scoring under suffocating pressure throughout his spell.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi edged 9 off 8 before his obstructing the field dismissal at 27/3 from 4.6 overs left KKR reeling. Then Rovman Powell scratched just 1 off 4 as the innings lurched to 31/4 at 6.1 overs – a platform seemingly impossible to recover from.
Cameron Green changed the mood. He hit 34 off 21 including 3 sixes, lifting KKR to 73/5 at 10.5 overs before Mohsin returned to claim him. At the same point Anukul Roy fell for a duck at 73/6, and the innings looked like folding for 120 at best.
Rinku Singh had other ideas. He batted through to the end, scoring 83 not out off 51 balls with 7 fours and 5 sixes at a strike rate of 163. Ramandeep Singh chipped in with 6 off 11 before falling at 93/7 in over 14.6, but Rinku and Sunil Narine (4 not out off 6) kept KKR alive to post 155/7. Mohsin Khan finished with 5/23 from 4 overs including a maiden – a stunning haul. LSG’s chief destroyer was undone by his own attack’s generosity: Digvesh Rathi conceded 46 from 4 overs at economy 11.5 in a spell that gave KKR the breathing room they needed in the back end.
Second Innings – LSG 155/8 (20 Overs)
LSG needed 156 to win. They were on course for much of the chase. Aiden Markram and Rishabh Pant built the platform – Markram made 31 off 27 before falling at 65/1 in over 10.2, with Pant contributing 42 off 38 (caught at 78/3 in over 12.2) to keep LSG firmly in the picture.
Mitchell Marsh went early for 2 off 3 at 8/2 in over 1.1. Nicholas Pooran managed 9 off 12 at 89/4 in over 13.6. Ayush Badoni provided a spark with 24 off 19 (2 sixes), caught at 120/6 in over 17.3. Himmat Singh went berserk late – 19 off 10 at a strike rate of 190, falling at 148/8 in the penultimate over. George Linde smashed 8 off 4 at 200 strike rate before falling at 129 in over 18.2. Mohammed Shami was still at the crease at the death – 11 not out off 6 including a six – and LSG scrambled to 155/8 off the last ball. Tied. Super Over.
KKR’s bowling was disciplined when it mattered. Vaibhav Arora took 2/24 from 4 overs at economy 6.00. Varun Chakaravarthy took 2/33 from 4 overs. Kartik Tyagi was expensive at 1/41 from 4 overs (economy 10.25, 2 no-balls).
The Super Over
LSG batted the Super Over first. Sunil Narine bowled it for KKR. Nicholas Pooran was clean bowled first ball for a duck. Rishabh Pant managed a single. Aiden Markram was caught off the final ball for a duck. LSG limped to 1/2 from 0.3 overs – a target of just 2 for KKR. Rinku Singh stepped up and hit the first ball of Prince Yadav’s over through the covers for four. Done. KKR win.
Statz MVP – Mohsin Khan
Mohsin Khan is the Statz MVP with a rating of 154.02 out of 100. Five wickets for 23 runs from 4 overs with a maiden at economy 5.75 in a tied match – Statz calculates impact based on match context, and that spell scores at an elite level. Statz disagrees with the official Player of the Match award here. The official award went to Rinku Singh for his 83 not out – a match-saving innings beyond question. But Mohsin’s 5/23 restricted KKR to a total that was tied at 155. Without that bowling performance there is no Super Over, and LSG would have been chasing 190+. The numbers back Mohsin as the decisive influence on the result.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
Ranked by Dream11 points across the full match:
- Rinku Singh (KKR) – 213 Dream11 pts | 83* off 51, SR 163 | Official MoM. Kept KKR alive from 31/4, then finished it in the Super Over with a boundary first ball.
- Mohsin Khan (LSG) – 157 Dream11 pts | 5/23, Econ 5.75 | Statz MVP (154.02/100). A five-wicket haul with a maiden in a tied match. The defining bowling performance in this IPL season so far.
- Sunil Narine (KKR) – 107 Dream11 pts | 4 off 6, 1/23 from 4 overs in regulation, then 2/1 from 0.3 overs in the Super Over. The Super Over hero – two dismissals in three balls to seal the game.
- Cameron Green (KKR) – 91 Dream11 pts | 34 off 21 (3 sixes), 1/12 from 2 overs. The mid-innings stabiliser who kept KKR competitive before Rinku took over.
- Rishabh Pant (LSG) – 89 Dream11 pts | 42 off 38. Gave LSG a solid platform through the middle overs. The chase looked on while he was at the crease.
Turning Point
The Super Over told the story. Nicholas Pooran clean bowled by Sunil Narine off ball 1 (over 0.1, score 0/1). LSG needed 2 from 3 balls and could not get them. Markram caught off ball 3 at 1/2. Narine removed two of LSG’s most dangerous batters in the space of three deliveries. The door was shut. In the regulation match, the key moment was Cameron Green’s dismissal at 73/5 in over 10.5 – Mohsin Khan’s wicket that exposed the lower order. The fact KKR still managed 155 from that position was entirely down to Rinku Singh. Without that innings, there is no game to be lost in a Super Over.
Match Context
This was match 38 of 74 in the IPL 2026 Regular Season. Both teams are firmly in the danger zone. KKR now sit 8th – W2 L5 NR1, 5 points from 8 matches (NRR -0.751). This win is vital for their survival hopes, though they remain well off the pace set by Punjab Kings (1st, 13pts from 7) at the top. LSG are 10th and last – W2 L6, just 4 points from 8 matches (NRR -1.106). With the top four already pulling clear, LSG need to win almost every remaining match to have any realistic play-off chance. Losing a Super Over after matching KKR run-for-run across 20 overs makes this result particularly brutal.
