CSK open account

A happy homecoming for CSK as they close out the game to win by 12 runs. LSG did threaten a touch in the end but Tushar Deshpande and Rajyavardhan Hangargekar closed it out to perfection. This was one high-scoring game indeed with more than 420 runs being scored. Moeen stood tall though with a four-wicket haul. CSK will be very pleased with this performance despite the obvious issues in that fast bowling department. They would love Theekshana to join the squad as soon as possible.

(Overs 11-15) - LSG need 68 from 30

CSK have been picking wickets to fight back but this contest is far from over. Young Badoni is a pretty good finisher and Nicholas Pooran is looking in great touch. Moeen Ali had a very good outing as he also removed the dangerous Stoinis to finish with four wickets. But this finish is going to be quite exciting especially if Pooran continues to cause havoc.

(Overs 7-10) -CSK fight back

Wow, the tide has turned big time. LSG smashed 80 in the powerplay but they have managed only 25 runs in the next four overs and more importantly, they have lost key wickets. Moeen has made a huge difference today as he first removed Mayers in the final over of the powerplay before dismissing KL and Krunal. All three batters perished by finding the man at the deep. Santner also got into the act by dismissing Hooda. CSK are in control now.

Carnage in the powerplay

CSK's openers went berserk in the powerplay and LSG's openers replicate that. KL Rahul was pretty much only a spectator as Kyle Mayers went bonkers smashing fours and sixes at will. CSK didn't help their cause with some sloppiness as LSG made 80 in the powerplay. Moeen bowled that final over of the powerplay to dismiss Mayers but the damage is done. He falls for 53.
