LSG vs CSK HIGHLIGHTS: Match Called Off Due To Rain
Lucknow vs Chennai: Both teams will share a point each.
The match has officially been called off. This means both teams have been awarded a point each. CSK now have 11 points from 10 matches, same as LSG who have a better net run rate of +0.639 when compared to that of Men in Yellow whose NRR is +0.329. Consequently, Lucknow are second and Chennai are third on the points table.
The covers had come off for a bit they are now back on in what is surely not a good sight for cricket fans.
Not the best of match this for Chahar on comeback. He has conceded 41 runs in his 4 overs. But the biggest surprise was Jadeja not bowling his quota of 4 overs, bowling 3 overs for 11 runs and picking up a wicket. LSG are 125/7 at the moment and 4 balls are remaining in this innings.
And there is drizzle which has forced the umpires to call for the covers.
What an innings this from Badoni though. He is batting on 59 off 33 at the moment, strangled at the non-striker's end in the final over. Gowtham departs trying to go for the big shot. Pathirana with the ball in hand.
WICKET! Lucknow Lose Pooran with a bit over two overs to go. He scored a 31-ball 20, just not finding his rhythm. Ayush Badoni the key here for LSG. Krishnappa Gowtham joins Badoni.
Whenever there is a bit of assistance for the spinners, Dhoni's captaincy becomes all the more lethal and this is one such game so far. Post the four wickets, Moeen caught and bowled Karan Sharma as LSG were reduced to 44/5 in 9.4 overs. Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni have since then taken charge for the hosts.
WICKET! Another one goes down and it's a spinner again who has tasted success with Ravindra Jadeja getting rid of Marcus Stoinis for 6. LSG- 34/4 in 6.5 overs.
Powerplay that has belonged to CSK. Theekshana with two wickets and Moeen Ali with one as LSG end powerplay at 31/3.
