LSG win, CSK pay
This is the second instance of CSK allowing their opponents to chase down a 210+ target in IPL history. It is the fourth biggest chase in IPL history. Absence of Deepak Chahar, unproven youngsters and dew all played into Lucknow’s hands even against a seemingly steep target. KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock provided a perfect launchpad and Evin Lewis with the late flourish. Pity it means Robin Uthappa’s knock goes in vain. LSG pick up their first win of the season while CSK are 0-2 after two matches
LSG win by 6 wickets
Lucknow Super Giants chase down the 211 run target with 3 balls to spare and win by 6 wickets over Chennai Super Kings. Evin Lewis remains unbeaten on 55 runs from 23 balls
After two wasteful wides, Badoni slaps this one over backward square for a six. One more to get…
SIX MORE! 25 in the over and Lewis has turned this around. How CSK must be regretting this bowling decision. Played inside out over long and that’s a six. It brings up a 23 ball fifty for Lewis
Two in a row now for Lewis and LSG! This one is full of pace, pitched up and in the slot for Lewis to clobber it down the field
Evin Lewis smacks a four after collecting a double on the previous ball. Pitched up, slower one, or lacking pace and it has been thrashed away
Bold move in the CSK camp. Shivam Dube is brought in to bowl the penultimate over and first ball he’s thrashed away for a six. Badoni gets down on one knee and has lumped it over square leg. He clobbers a fan in the stands in the process
GONE!
Slower one from Bravo, it is a low full toss and it has been launched into the leg side. Jadeja is a safe pair of hands on the boundary rope as Hooda walks back
Hooda c Jadeja b Bravo 13 (8), LSG are 171/4
SIX!
Now Hooda gets in on the maximum hitting act. Sliced away but there’s plenty of pace on the ball to carry it over the sightscreen
SIX!
Evin Lewis smacks it over long off for a powerful and meaty hit! Lewis waited for that one from Pretorious and he’s made it count
