Though mitchell marsh

Lucknow Super Giants: Josh Inglis smashed a blistering 85 off just 33 balls to power Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to 203/8 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.

The Australian wicketkeeper-batter dominated the Power-play with a flurry of strokes, leading to ten fours and six maximums coming off his blade, and ensured LSG made the most of the fielding restrictions in the power-play, where they amassed 91 runs – their highest score in the six-over phase in this season.

But LSG’s momentum dipped once the field spread, as CSK’s bowlers clawed their way back. Noor Ahmad picked 1-24, while Jamie Overton’s 3-36 further kept the scoring rate in check. Despite the slowdown in the middle overs, Shahbaz Ahmed’s late cameo of 43 not out off 25 balls, capped by a six off the final delivery, lifted LSG past the 200-run mark.
