CSK vs LSG Highlights, IPL 2026: Urvil Patel's fiery fifty powers CSK to five-wicket win over Lucknow

Mohammad Shami to Sanju Samson, A misfield now and Samson picks up the single. Hard length outside off, Sanju stands tall and taps it firmly to the point fielder, who fumbles and allows the single.

Mohammad Shami to Sanju Samson, FOUR! That's a poor line from Shami and Samson is away with a boundary. Just back of a length, straying onto the pads, Samson gets inside the line and helps it on its way down to fine leg for the first boundary of the chase.

Mohammad Shami to Sanju Samson, A bit of shape first up for Shami. Good-length delivery, in the channel and shaping away. Sanju Samson hangs back to punch it away but jams it into the off side.

We are back for the chase! The players are already out in the middle now. Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad are the two openers for Chennai Super Kings. Mohammad Shami to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Middle-overs comeback revives CSK hopes - Chennai Super Kings will be pleased with the way they fought back after being taken apart in the Powerplay. Noor Ahmad was brilliant once again, and his match-up against Nicholas Pooran worked perfectly as he removed the dangerous batter while conceding just 24 runs in his four overs. However, the real turning point came through Jamie Overton, whose double-wicket over, dismissing both Rishabh Pant and the well-set Josh Inglis, shifted the momentum completely. Overton finished with a three-wicket haul, though LSG hit back by taking 17 off his final over. Hosein and Mukesh Choudhary proved expensive, but Anshul Kamboj chipped in with a couple of wickets as he moved clear at the top of the bowling charts. Join us in a bit for the second essay.

Time to hear from the Purple Cap holder - Anshul Kamboj wears the Purple Cap and says that the wicket is a tad slow but the bounce is nice and they can chase it down. He feels that the wicket won't slow down further and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. Mentions that they have done well to come back after conceding too many runs in the Powerplay and it feels good to have done that. On the change of his angles, he says that he does that, especially at the death, to play with the mind of the batters and ends by saying that the score on the board is a chasable one.

LSG survive collapse to finish strong - Lucknow Super Giants came out all guns blazing with Josh Inglis tearing into the bowling and timing everything to perfection. They rocketed to 91 in the Powerplay, with Inglis doing most of the damage. It looked like he was batting on a different pitch in his breathtaking knock of 85 off just 33 balls before finally being dismissed. However, the middle order failed to capitalise on that explosive platform as LSG slipped dramatically from 92/1 to 130/5. Just when things were beginning to unravel, Shahbaz Ahamad and Himmat Singh stitched together a crucial 50-run partnership to steady the innings, while Ahamad stayed unbeaten on 43 off 25 to ensure LSG finished strongly.

A tale of two halves! Lucknow Super Giants looked set for 230-plus with the way they exploded out of the blocks, but CSK stormed back brilliantly through the middle overs to drag things under control. Just when the momentum had shifted completely, Lucknow produced one final flourish, hammering 36 runs in the last three overs to push past 200. And that total could be a huge one - CSK have not chased down anything above 180 in the IPL since 2019, losing all 14 such attempts.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, SIX! BANG! Shahbaz Ahamad finishes things off in style and takes LSG past the 200-run mark. Kamboj tries to go for the wide yorker, but ends up serving a near waist-high full toss. Ahamad leans across to the off side and wallops it over cow corner for a huge six. Ahamad has also taken a review for a No Ball but the third umpire confirms that the ball is below his waist height. Lucknow Super Giants end with 203/8 on the board as Shahbaz Ahamad remains unbeaten on 43 off 25 balls.

Josh Inglis is substituted by Avesh Khan

Avesh Khan comes out to the middle now. He is also the Impact Sub for Lucknow Super Giants, replacing Josh Inglis.

Anshul Kamboj to Mohammad Shami, OUT! MOHAMMAD SHAMI IS RUN OUT! They simply had to go for the run, but Shami was never going to make it. Anshul Kamboj bowls it short over middle and leg, and Shami looks to pull it away but misses. Shahbaz Ahamad is already halfway through for the bye but Sanju Samson misses the underarm shy at the batter's end. The ball dribbles down the strip and into the hands of the bowler, who jogs back and whips off the bails at his end with Shami well out of his crease.

The next batter in is Mohammad Shami.

Anshul Kamboj to Himmat Singh, OUT! BOWLED'EM! That's lethal accuracy from Anshul Kamboj and he's the first one to pick up 19 wickets this season. Kamboj comes around the wicket to the right-hander and nails the yorker on middle and leg. Himmat Singh tries to take a step across to the off side and flick it leg side but gets nutmegged and the ball castles into the stumps.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, PUT DOWN! An immediate apology from Jamie Overton, but he's spilled a dolly. A surprise bumper from Anshul Kamboj, just outside off and around shoulder height. Shahbaz Ahamad is late to go after it and gets a top edge that lands near short cover. Overton settles under it and tries to reverse-cup the ball but it goes right through his hands. Single takena and up comes the 50-run stand between these two.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, That's well bowled. A yorker, lands it on the popping crease on off stump. Ahamad looks to hit it leg side again but gets an inside edge onto the boot and the ball rolls back down the strip.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, Back of a length, a tad on the shorter side and at the bodyline. Ahamad swings at it but snatches at the pull and gets it through the square leg region for a couple of runs.

Anshul Kamboj to bowl the last over. How many can LSG get?

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, Full and outside off, pace on this time, Ahamad goes after it but miscues it towards mid on for a single. 17 off the over.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, Good change-up from Overton, as he bowls the slower one, full and angled across the left-hander. Ahamad leans back to slog it over wide long on but misses.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, FOUR! Ahamad is doing a fine job for LSG here. Back of a length, darted away from the off stump. Ahamad opens the face of the blade late and pokes it between the keeper and fly slip for another boundary.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, Overton sticks with the heavy short balls and bowls it straighter this time around. Over middle and leg, swattd down to the right of long on for a couple of runs more.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, SIX! Wow, that's gone all the way. Another one that is dug in short and outside off. Shahbaz Ahamad climbs into the shot and clobbers it off the bottom half of the blade, all the way over long off for a six.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, FOUR! Too much width on offer. Banged in well short and wide, Ahamad hops up and reaches for it, slashing it over backward point for a boundary.

Mukesh Choudhary to Shahbaz Ahamad, A low full toss at the stumps, Ahamad lunges across to get inside the line and laps it to short fine leg for a single.

Mukesh Choudhary to Shahbaz Ahamad, Mukesh gets the yorker in, on middle and leg. Ahamad tries to back away but jams it straight back at the bowler, who makes a good stop in his followthrough.

Mukesh Choudhary to Himmat Singh, Gets it right this time, does Choudhary. Full and wide outside off, Singh reaches out and toe-ends it to the right of mid off for a single.

Mukesh Choudhary to Himmat Singh, WIDE! That's a wild one. Looking for the wide yorker but this is pushed well beyond the tramline outside off and Singh leaves it alone.

Mukesh Choudhary to Shahbaz Ahamad, Full and attacking the stumps, driven firmly but straight to deep point for a single.

Mukesh Choudhary to Shahbaz Ahamad, SIX! Well, that deserved to be put away. A full toss, angling into the pads, Shahbaz Ahamad gets on one knee, gets under the ball and slogs it high over backward square leg for a biggie.

Mukesh Choudhary to Shahbaz Ahamad, On the money! Mukesh Choudhary serves a straight yorker and all Ahamad can do it jam it back out to the bowler.

Mukesh Choudhary replaces Noor Ahmad.

Anshul Kamboj to Himmat Singh, FOUR! A welcome boundary for LSG. Back of a length but well wide outside off, Himmat Singh frees his arms and spanks the ball wide to the right of the deep point fielder for four runs.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, Very full again, just outside off, Ahamad plays it late and drives it nicely to deep cover for another single.

Anshul Kamboj to Himmat Singh, Back of a length and around off, tucked away off the back foot between square leg and mid-wicket for one more.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, A wide yorker from Kamboj, nailed as well. Shahbaz Ahamad digs it out to covers and turns the strike over.

Anshul Kamboj to Shahbaz Ahamad, A slower bumper now, around off, Ahamad gets on his toes and tries to ramp it away but fails to lay a bat on it.

Game stopped due to : Play Halted

Looks like Anshul Kamboj is feeling a bit dehydrated, and the physio comes running in to check on him. He is good to go again now.

Anshul Kamboj is back on.

Anshul Kamboj to Himmat Singh, Slower one, on a good length, Himmat comes foreard and knocks it down to long on for one.

Noor Ahmad to Shahbaz Ahamad, A bit of a prolonged appeal for LBW, turned down. After a bit of a chat, Ruturaj Gaikwad reviews the on-field call. Bowled flatter by Noor Ahmad, turning it into the left-hander. Shahbaz Ahamad gets pegged onto the back foot as he tries to flick it away but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The third umpire is called in and there's no bat involved, as Ball Tracking shows the wickets as umpire's call and it stays Not Out.

Noor Ahmad to Himmat Singh, Floated, full and on leg, nurdled into the leg side for a single.

Noor Ahmad to Himmat Singh, Good length around middle, offering no room to the batter and Singh blocks it off.

Noor Ahmad to Shahbaz Ahamad, Shorter one on middle, nudged away off the back foot through square leg for one.

Noor Ahmad to Himmat Singh, Excellent fielding but the relay effort isn't quite in sync. Dragged length on leg, Singh comes down the pitch and works it between long on and deep mid-wicket. Dewald Brevis at deep mid-wicket runs to his left and dives across, saving the boundary. He tries to flick it to the on-rushing Ruturaj Gaikwad from long on but gets it well wide and Gaikwad has to chase it back. Three taken.

Noor Ahmad to Himmat Singh, Flatter one angled across off, dabbed away down to short third by Himmat Singh.

Noor Ahmad comes back in to finish his spell.

Jamie Overton to Shahbaz Ahamad, Oops! Jamie Overton loses his grip trying to bowl the slowy, serves a high full toss, around off, dips in a bit, Shahbaz Ahamad can only swat it towards mid off.  He looks at the square leg umpire but gets nothing and takes the review. The Ball Tracking and the replay confirm that the ball is under the waist of the batter.
