Prashant Veer hit a six in Avesh's next over to collect 11 runs from the over, which left LSG to defend 10 runs in the final over.
With two left-handed batters at the crease, LSG skipper Rishabh Pant gave the ball to Aiden Markram, who started with a couple of wide deliveries. Then, Shivam Dube hit a couple of sixes to finish the match in style. CSK won the match with five wickets and four balls to spare.

Strategic Break! Chennai Super Kings needed this break, as their bowlers have been smashed to all parts by Josh Inglis. He is batting like a dream, having scored 77 off just 25 balls, and no signs of him slowing down. CSK will hope that this just stops a bit of momentum and their spinners can get them back in the game in the middle overs. However, LSG have a lot of firepower, and with this start, they will have to make the most out of it to put up a massive total on the board. Noor Ahmad comes into the attack right after the Powerplay!

He's now on 76 out of LSG's 89 at the moment, sheer dominance.
Anshul Kamboj to Josh Inglis, FOUR! Gets enough elevation on it, does Inglis. To make things worse for CSK, Kamboj has overstepped and off goes the siren.

Anshul Kamboj to Josh Inglis, Oh, that could have easily hit the top of the stumps. Good length, slanted in from wider on the crease. Inglis shuffles to get inside the line and hoick it over fine leg but misses as the ball goes just over middle and leg stump.
