The Lucknow Super Giants crushed the Chennai Super Kings by 7 wickets on Friday night, finishing a rapid chase of 188 runs in just 16.4 overs. Mitchell Marsh led the charge with a blistering 90 runs off 38 balls to ensure Lucknow stayed dominant throughout the innings. According to the final scorecard reported by Business Standard, Lucknow reached 188/3 to secure the victory comfortably.
Lucknow set a furious pace from the start of their innings, racking up 124 runs in the opening 10 overs. Mitchell Marsh reached his half-century during this early window, hitting 9 fours and 7 sixes during his time at the crease. This aggressive start mirrored the energy seen when Urvil Patel hit a fast fifty earlier in the tournament, though Marsh carried his momentum much deeper into the game.
Marsh eventually fell for 90 after an unusual run-out at the non-striker’s end. Chennai bowler Mukesh Choudhary deflected a straight drive from Nicholas Pooran onto the stumps while Marsh was out of his crease. A report from Mint confirmed the dismissal ended Marsh’s bid for a second century of the season, following his hundred against Bangalore earlier this year.
Earlier in the match, Chennai posted a total of 187/5 behind a steady 71 from Kartik Sharma. Sharma hit 42 balls for his total, while Shivam Dube added an unbeaten 32 off 16 balls to help boost the final score. Lucknow bowler Akash Singh restricted the scoring by taking 3 wickets for 26 runs in his four-over spell, as detailed in the match highlights. Nicholas Pooran remained not out to hit the winning runs for Lucknow.
