SIX! Anshul Kamboj to Nicholas Pooran. Reverse Swing-Out length ball, to leg on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Lucknow Super Giants win by seven wickets! A dominant chase from the visitors as the openers set the tone with a blazing 135-run partnership, effectively taking the game away in the powerplay itself. Nicholas Pooran then finished the job in style with a fluent 32 off 17 balls, ensuring a comfortable finish to the chase. For Chennai Super Kings, the bowlers tried hard but were put under constant pressure throughout the innings. Spencer Johnson and Mukesh Choudhary picked up each a wicket, but CSK couldn't contain the flow of runs. A comprehensive win for LSG, though CSK remain in the playoff hunt mathematically and will need a strong finish from here on. Mitchell Marsh is the Player of the Match.
