I am Gourav Samal, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Ajay Pal Singh and scorer/analyst Bishal Mandal who brought you all the action of the match. Thank you for joining us. Stay tuned for all cricketing actions all over the world. Bye.
Kritagya Singh (POTM): "My plan was to play till the last over. We had a talk to play less dot balls which helped us to score more runs towards the end."
Player of the Match: Kritagya Singh
Priyam Garg (Captain Lucknow Falcons): "We have a long batting line up so we play with a plan. When you have Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the team you know you will get some early breakthrough. Even Abhinandan Singh has been brilliant with the ball.
Valuable Dots of the Match: Abhinandan Singh
Perfect Catch of the Match: Vijay Yadav
Super Striker of the Match: Kritagya Singh
Time for presentation.
Dhruv Jurel (Gorakhpur Lions Captain): "I think we have to be honest. We didn't play good cricket. All credit to those guys, they batted well. Winning and losing is part and parcel of the game. Touchwood, the way he (Aryan Juyal) is batting is good for the team but we were here for only 3 games and now we have to move to Duleep Trophy. So we will be backing the team from outside now."
6:57 PM IST and Local Time | End of an interesting match. Lucknow Falcons held their nerves and won the match by 33 runs and register their first win in the tournament.

18.1 V Nigam to S Sharma
W OUT!!! That's it. Lucknow Falcons gets their first points on the board. A five-wicket haul for Vipraj Nigam to finish things off. Over the wicket. Full and tossed up leg break outside off. Shivam shuffles across and looks to slog it over deep mid wicket. Doesn't get the power that was needed on that shot and ends up hitting it straight down the throat of Kritagya Singh in the deep, who takes it comfortably. Falcons take this game by 33 runs.
End of another successful over. Abhinandan Singh completes his 4 overs with a figure of 3/30. 34 more needed from 12 balls with just one wicket in hand. Vipraj Nigam will continue the bowling.
