IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Highlights: Lucknow beat Chennai by eight wickets

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: “Feels good at the end of the day. When you win, most decisions feel right. We were committed to our plans. Really happy with that. Depends on the wicket, I deploy my bowlers. We tried to mix it around. The bowlers executed really well. The team is sticking to the plans. Halfway stage, I would have been happy with 160. The wicket was slow and a bit of grip. MSD walked in and the pressure got to the bowlers. He has had the intimidation on opposition bowlers. Our young bowlers were put under pressure with the crowd going berserk as well. 15-20 runs extra they got. I have been trying to assess the situation. It came off today. I knew the CSK spinners will put the pressure on. I picked my bowlers and it came off. Quinton batted well as well. Made life easy for both. Different ball game playing in Chennai. Was playing in front of mini Chennai crowd. We are a young team and happy to play in front of such a crowd.”

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: “We finished well with the bat, couldn’t have asked more with the situation we were in. After powerplay we couldn’t capitalize on the start we got and we kept losing wickets at regular intervals. I would say we were 10-15 runs short. Slightly difficult with such a total, with the impact sub rule you need 10-15 or even 20 runs extra. Pitches like these seem sluggish to start off with but with dew coming on it gets better, 190 would have been a good score. One area we would like to improve in taking wickets in the powerplay. That will put pressure on the opposition. We need to work on it. Good to play them again (next game at Chepauk). We will come up with good homework done now that we have three home games.”

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: A no ball from Deshpande finally levels the scores, there is some more delay as CSK unsuccesfully challenge the call. They are already 15 minutes behind the over rate and they review a no ball call for a delivery that was almost a beamer. The free hit delivery is back of a length angling away from Pooran, the batter sends that over the cover fielder and finishes the chase. Pooran finishes unbeaten on 23 off 12, Marcus Stoinis on eight off seven.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: LSG are taking their time with this, just as CSK have with their over rate. They are nearly a powerplay behind at the moment, a full four overs. It means Deshpande will bowl the 19th over to Pooran with one less fielder outside the ring. Pooran is on 18 off nine. Stoinis on one off three. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 165/2 in 18 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: KL Rahul’s epic ends and it needed something as special as that. Pathirana with a length ball for the first ball of the 18th, Rahul stays deep and cuts it. Jadeja flies to his left at backward point and plucks it out of thin air. The third umpire then takes hours to see if it was a fair catch, thus giving us a chance to admire it from a number of different angles.

Rahul c Jadeja b Pathirana 82 (53)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 161/2 in 17.1 overs

 IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Pathirana brought back as soon as Pooran walks in, he has dismissed the West Indian three times in the last ten balls. Three singles off the first three balls and then Pooran sends the fourth ball over long on and all the way out of the ground!

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 146/1 in 16 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Mustafizur Rahman gets the breakthrough but it could be a case of too little too late already. Back of a length from the Fizz for the last ball of the 15th, De Kock tries to ramp it but ends up getting a faint edge to Dhoni. The opening stand ends on 134. LSG now bring in Nicholas Pooran, they want to finish this off quickly.

de Kock c Dhoni b Mustafizur Rahman 54 (43)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 134/1 in 15 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: A single off the first ball of the 15th from Mustafizur does the job for QDK. He has got there in 41 balls.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Well these two have slowed down somewhat in the last two overs but CSK would know that there is absolutely no danger in front of LSG at the moment unless they get some wickets in a clump from here on out. Rahul is on 66 off 44, De Kock on 49 off 50. LSG need 56 to win from 36.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 121/0 in 14 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: 14 runs in the 11th over and this is starting to slip out of CSK’s hands. Jadeja bowling the 11th, De Kock with a four off the second ball and then Rahul hits two back to back fours off the fourth and fifth balls. He goes past his half-century with the first boundary, his 35th in the IPL.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 103/0 in 11 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Ravindra Jadeja bowling the ninth over. His first ball is met with a gorgous lofted straight drive by De Kock and sent down the ground for a four. Then De Kock skies an attemped slog. It goes high and Pathirana tries to settle under it at short third man. He makes a mess of it. The batters run a single off that ball and then four more singles. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 84/0 in 9 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: KL Rahul has been the aggressor today and he is doing a very good job at keeping LSG well ahead of the required rate. He has also done well to cover up for his partner’s inability to connect thus far, although one might argue that De Kock is ‘anchoring’ the partnership. De Kock is on 27 off 23, Rahul on 44 off 25. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 75/0 in 8 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: 54 runs for LSG but unlike CSK, they have managed to keep their wickets intact. Rahul is 34 off 20, De Kock has dragged his feet to 18 off 16. LSG are currently going above their required run rate, they need 123 to win from 84 balls.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 54/0 in 6 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Tushar Deshpande with a change of ends and he returns for the fifth over. His first ball is whipped away by Rahul for a four. Then a leg bye off the fourth ball and then Deshpande goes within centimetres of hitting De Kock’s leg stump with the fifth ball. De Kock sends the last ball of the over sailing over deep square leg.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 43/0 in 5 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Chahar returns for the third over, bowls a dolly to Rahul outside off and the LSG captain smashes it through midwicket for a four. Two singles off the third and fourth balls after which Rahul clubs the fifth ball over midwicket for a six. Rahul is on 13 off eight, De Kock on 10 off 10. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 24/0 in 3 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Against the shorter delivery from Tushar Deshpande in the final ball of the second over, QdK looks to go big over the off side, but gets it off the toe-end of the bat. The third man was up and deep point was too far behind as the ball landed in no man’s land. 

LSG 12/0 in 2 overs vs CSK (176/6)

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: LSG openers get off to watchful start against Chahar as the CSK fast bowler concedes only three singles in the opening over. 

LSG 3/0 in 1 over vs CSK (176/6)

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Quinton de Kock takes strike. KL Rahul is at the other end. Deepak Chahar kick off the attack for Chennai. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Dhoni finishes off with 28 runs in nine balls. He has done it again. Dhoni runs two like he never aged in the last 15 years off the second last ball. Then Thakur sends in a yorker-length delivery outside off, Dhoni drills it behind point for a four. He has finished with a strike rate of 311.11 and is yet to be dismissed this year. CSK will now be hoping that dew doesn’t settle in. If that happens, Dhoni has taken them to a formidable total out of nowhere. Jadeja at the other end finishes on 57 off 40 balls. He ground out a half-century and yet such was the belligerence with which Dhoni played yet again today that Jadeja’s innings might end up being nothing more than a footnote.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Yash Thakur bowling the last over. Five fielders in the circle because of LSG’s utterly horrendous over rate. Jadeja takes three off the first two balls and Dhoni is on strike. The third is muscled by Dhoni over wide long-on and the fourth is edged between point and short third for a four. This crowd is going crazy!

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: A never-ending 19th over there from Mohsin Khan. He starts off with two wides to Dhoni. The second wasn’t given a wide but Dhoni reviewed that. It was just about outside the wide line outside off and yet, it is quite strangely given as wide. Then Dhoni smashes the legal first ball over cover and it goes like a bullet to the boundary. Dhoni then walks across the stumps and sends the second delivery over the wicketkeeper’s head. A single off the next ball and then a wide, which is reviewed by LSG unsucesfully. Then a single and then another wide to Dhoni and finally a dot ball. MS Dhoni on 12 off five, Jadeja on 54 off 38.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 157/6 in 19 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Moeen Ali accelerates and goes. It is is exactly what CSK needed at this stage. Ravi Bishnoi’s second delivery of the 18th is tossed up nicely into Moeen’s hitting arc and the all-rounder smashes it over deep square leg. The second delivery also goes the same way. The third is flat-batted over long-off. Then Moeen hits the fourth delivery straight to deep midwicket and that leads to a tidal wave of noise from the crowd. Because it means MS Dhoni is walking in and he will be there for a full two overs as well.

Moeen Ali c Badoni b Ravi Bishnoi 30 (20)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 141/6 in 17.5 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Mohsin returns for the 17th over, Jadeja makes room to go downtown and the bowler obliges by bowling in his arc. But Jadeja had some luck going his way as Hooda makes a meal of taking a catch at long-on, he tips it over the boundary. Jadeja brings out the sword-celebration, his fifty has come in 34 balls. Just two more runs in that over and Jadeja is on 53 off 36, Moeen on 12 off 15. Jadeja had ended CSK’s drought of boundaries in the previous over with a four. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 123/5 in 17 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: The last boundary came 32 balls ago, more than five overs, and that was a four as well. Moeen is on seven off 10, Jadeja on 40 off 29. Jadeja has done well to keep his strike rate in 140s despite hardly being able to find a boundary.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 105/5 in 15 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: CSK’s run rate has now come down to exactly 7. For now, this is not going well for them at all but they do have three players who can go big in the death overs. The fans of course can’t wait for another wicket to fall so that they can see their hero bat. Jadeja is on 36 off 26, Moeen on four off seven.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 98/5 in 14 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Second ball of the 13th, Rizvi absolutely sprints down the pitch and swings for the horizon. Misses it entirely and Rahul whips off the bail. That is the easiest stumping Rahul has probably ever had in his wicketkeeping career. Moeen Ali walks in. One more wicket and MSD time will arrive earlier than usual in Lucknow.

Rizvi st Rahul b Pandya 1 (5)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 90/5 in 12.2 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Marcus Stoinis gets the big fish with his first ball of the match!

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: 87/4 in 11.4 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: This is not an easy pitch to score on and LSG seem to be making the most of the conditions at the moment. Bishnoi returns and he cops a four by Jadeja fourth ball. A single and then Dube is beaten with a googly.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 81/3 in 10 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Krunal Pandya through Ajinkya Rahane’s gates! Rahane plays across the line and misses it entirely, the ball strikes the leg-stump. Shivam Dube walks out, CSK can use the acceleration that he can provide.

Rahane b Pandya 36 (24)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: LSG 68/3 in 8.1 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: A four each from Rahane and Jadeja off that over from Bishnoi. Jadeja is on 15 off 11, Rahane on 36 off 23.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 68/2 in 8 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Henry bowls the last over of the powerplay as well and that goes for just nine runs. CSK just about get past the 50-run mark and they have lost two wickets as well and so this period of play, it is quite safe to say, goes to LSG. 

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 51/2 in 6 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: YashThakur brought in for the fifth over, makes an impact straightaway and what a wicket it is. Gaikwad with a four off the first ball and then Thakur strikes back with a length ball that moves away, Gaikwad drives, outside edge and KL Rahul.

Gaikwad c Rahul b Yash Thakur 17 (13)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 33/2 in 4.2 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: And it is as imperious as you would expect any shot to be from the former India vice-captain. Henry returns for the third over, seven runs off the first five balls after which Rahane smashes a short of a length delivery in front of square and clears the midwicket boundary. He is on 11 off nine, Gaikwad on nine off eight.

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 20/1 in 3 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Mohsin Khan delivers with his first ball of the match. Ravindra’s wretched run continues but there is little he could have done about this. A corker of a delivery from Mohsin slanting in from wide outside off, bursting past the bat’s inside edge and crashing on to middle and off.

Ravindra b Mohsin Khan 0 (1)

LSG vs CSK IPL Live Score: CSK 4/1 in 1.1 overs

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: A four from Rahane off the second ball of the over is all CSK get from it. A good debut show from Henry but then anyone who has followed New Zealand for the past five years shouldn’t be surprised if he does more of this.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Ajinkya Rahane on strike once again, Rachin Ravindra standing at the non-striker’s end. LSG debutant Matt Henry bowling the first over.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: The atmosphere is electric as expected and you might see a lot of cheers for LSG despite the majority colour being yellow. Such is a paradox of seeing CSK play away from home. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Daryl Mitchell has run out of the rope he was given and Moeen Ali is back in the squad. Deepak Chahar replaces Sharduk Thakur. 

CSK XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Well apparently one performance is enough for LSG to decide that a player deserves to be dropped. 

LSG XI: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul(w/c), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Matt Henry, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Yash Thakur

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: KL Rahul has won the toss and LSG are bowling first. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Who cares what ground it is. If CSK are playing, the majority of the crowd will be wearing their yellow with Dhoni No.7 on their backs. Getting ready for the toss now. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: The 24-year-old pacer sent a smile across the cricketing world when he led West Indies to a historic Test win over Australia at the MCG. However, he got a rather rude welcome to the IPL in LSG’s last game against Kolkata Knight Riders. He missed his lines and a few catches were dropped off him as well – Joseph ended up with figures of 0/47 in his four overs.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Go on, let us know what you think. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: KL Rahul’s chances of making it into the Indian T20 team as an opener seems miniscule, with the likes of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal all seemingly overtakin him in the race. However, Rahul has been sensational for India in the middle order as a wicketkeeper-batter in ODI cricket and impressed in the role in Test matches as well. Those competing with him, though, have higher strike rates this season – Ishan Kishan, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma. It is also safe to assume that none of these would be taking the glove with Rishabh Pant returning.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Three games have been played in Lucknow thus far and the 200-run mark has never been crossed. LSG managed to defend 199 and 163 but failed in their defence of 167 against DC who reached the target comfortably. Pacers have had more success here in this IPL, having picked up 27 wickets at an average of 24.11 compared to 11 for spinners at 31.09.

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Tell us what you think. 

IPL 2024 LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: CSK’s fielding has been quite extraordinary this season. They have a catch success rate of 79.41% that puts them just behind Mumbai Indians. They’ve only dropped seven out of 34 chances.

IPL 2024, LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: It was revealed after the game against MI that the reason for sending Ajinkya Rahane as an opener was that he was nursing a niggle. It is not clear if he has regained full fitness.

IPL 2024, LSG vs CSK Live Score, Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings: Matheesha Pathirana has taken eight wickets this season and is averaging just 11. Since IPL 2023, Matheesha Pathirana has picked up 20 wickets in the death overs (16-20), the joint most alongside Mohit Sharma. Pathirana’s economy rate of 8.21 is also the best in this phase (Min.20 overs)
