First Innings:
Chennai Super Kings won the toss and invited team LSG to bat first. The CSK bowling department played it well by restricting the LSG team to a less score for the 15 overs. But things changed after that, resulting in team LSG scoring a total of 166 runs in 20 overs for the loss of 7 wickets. Rishab Pant played a captain innings by scoring 63 runs. CSK bowlers played it well. Pathirana and Jadeja took 2 wickets each. Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul took a wicket each.

Second Innings:
The score is easy to chase by CSK batsmen. But, they started it slow, with loss of wickets ar regular intervals. Both the openers, Rachin Ravindra and Shaik Rasheed, put a big partnership for the first wicket. And then, the other batsmen pushed the score further slowly. MS Dhoni, as usual, tried his best this game too, to push the score further. Along with Shivam Dube, he built a good partnership. The LSG bowlers failed to make an impact in this game.

In a nutshell:
Chennai Super Kings is putting up a disastrous show this season. But, the team finally got a respite to score a victory. LSG has been playing very well all this while but their strategy has gone wrong in the current match. Both the bowlers and batsmen could not put an amazing show against the slow-performing CSK. However, CSK struggled a big to score the victory. Let us hope that they maintain consistency and win all the games going forward.
