Bhilwara Kings vs Gujarat Giants Highlights, Legends League Cricket 2023: Gujarat Giants Win By Three Runs In Last Ball Thriller

Hard-fought win for Gujarat Giants in the last-ball thriller as Lendl Simmons' unbeaten 99* went in vain and lost the match by three runs chasing 173. 

It is becoming an intense battle as only six runs came in the penultimate over. Will it go down to the wire? Simmons will be the key in the final over.

Chirag's unbeaten 24 after Abhishek's 24 off 15 balls took Gujarat to 172.6 in 20 overs. Bhilwara need 173 runs to win the match after the innings break.

Gujarat need to play the last two overs with an attacking approach after being a bit slow in the middle over due to losing wickets constantly. Chirag and Rajat are in the middle to take them to a solid target of 180.
