During the run chase of 177, LSG openers Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul gave their team to a steady start. Skipper KL was the aggressor, targeting the pace trio of Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman and Tushar Deshpande with some of his most fluent shotmaking during this IPL.

The opening pair brought up a 134-run partnership, which laid the foundation for a successful run chase. Nicholas Pooran came in and applied the finishing touches to seal an 8-wicket win.
