Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings 30th Match Highlights
Rishabh Pant Leads Fightback as LSG Set 166-Run Target
LSG, under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, put up a fighting score of 166 for 7 in 20 overs. Lucknow Super Giants began the innings on a disappointing note as the top order fell cheaply. The team, however, could not form solid partnerships. Mitchell Marsh’s short but 30 off 25 balls provided some momentum, while Pant’s late 63 off 49 deliveries brought the innings back to life.
For bowling, Ravindra Jadeja 2/24 and Matheesha Pathirana 2/45 played a crucial role in checking the scoring, hitting at the right times. Late defeat during the death overs denied LSG to achieve an even bigger target.
Dube, Dhoni Steer CSK to Last-Over Victory in Tense Chase
Chasing 167, CSK got off to a frantic start with Shaik Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra contributing a robust 52-run partnership. Ravindra was particularly wrecked, hitting 37 off a mere 22 balls. Before a sudden series of wickets, led by the big kills by Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan, CSK were in peril for a few moments at 96 for 4.
But Shivam Dube was calm under pressure, scoring match-winning 43* off 37. The supporting knock came in the form of none other than MS Dhoni, who sent fans into a stew with a vintage cameo. He hammered an unbeaten 26 off mere 11 deliveries including four boundaries and a six, taking CSK home in three balls to spare.
LSG’s bowlers began well with some initial breakthroughs, but they simply couldn’t maintain the experienced Chennai batsmen in control towards the final overs. Ravi Bishnoi was the lone bright spot with fantastic figures of 2/18, but he lacked some support where it truly mattered. This win for CSK saw them not only accumulate vital points towards their total but also demonstrate their depth and calm under pressure.
