Yesterday IPL match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings was very exciting. Lucknow Super Giants played really well from start. Their openers like KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock batted very well together. KL Rahul scored 82 runs which was amazing. He also led his team well and made good decisions about which bowlers to use. Chennai Super Kings had hard time scoring runs but Ravindra Jadeja batted well by the way. Their top players did not do well and they could not catch up. MS Dhoni batting at end was fun to watch but it was too late to help his team to win. Lucknow Super Giants deserved to win because they played better and worked well together. Chennai Super Kings need to think about how to improve their game. Match was great with good batting good bowling and lots of excitement. I am looking forward to next match.

This is where Chennai Super Kings mainly struggled as their top-order batsmen failed to keep the run score above 176 runs. Rachin Ravindra of Chennai Super Kings was bowled out on the first ball so Chennai Super Kings were under pressure early on and could not score many runs in the first power play. Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad though tried to ease some pressure but they too could not take their innings far. However, if Mahendra Singh Dhoni had come to bat with Ravindra Jadeja earlier in tomorrow's match, the innings score could have been 200 plus due to Dhoni's aggressive innings, but unfortunately, Chennai Super could not take their score above 176 runs. This is basically the main failure of Chennai Super Kings.

Match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings was very exciting. Two teams played differently. Chennai Super Kings tried hard but they had trouble scoring enough runs. They only scored 176-6. Lucknow Super Giants played with clear goal in mind. Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul batted really well. KL Rahul scored 82 runs which was the best part. Even though he did not get 100 runs his batting helped the team to win. Nicholas Pooran also played well and helped Lucknow Super Giants to win easily.
Lucknow Super Giants played confidently and did well. Chennai Super Kings need to work on their batting. Match was very exciting and kept fans interested until the end.

I was totally unprepared to see Chennai Super Kings lose yesterday's match. Chennai Super Kings in yesterday's match did not have a good batting and bowling performance due to which they scored only 176 runs. If the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings could have bowled well, then Lucknow Super Giants batsmen KL Rahul and Queanton de Kock would not have been able to make a partnership of 134 runs. The opening pair of Lucknow Super Joint completely knocked Chennai Super Kings out of the game after which Chennai Super Kings could not come back into the game. Most of Chennai Super Kings' bowlers scored high runs per over in yesterday's match, including Mustafizur Rahman and Tushar Deshpande, who scored over 40 runs in their four overs. But there is a relief news that Chennai Super Kings were defeated by Lucknow Super Giants in yesterday's match but they managed to retain their previous position in the points table due to Chennai's good run rate.

Chennai Super Kings team lost wickets from the very beginning, due to which Ravindra Jadeja as a patient batsman gave maximum performance for Chennai team. Collected 176 runs with the loss of 6 wickets in this case it was not a good performance because to win at present it was necessary to score 200 plus runs. But the Lucknow Super Giants opening batsman performed so well, they won by 8 wickets in the last minute. De kock and Rahul of Lucknow Super Giants have formed a partnership for a long time, and these two attacking batsmen have the most role to play in winning this match. Lucknow Super Giants team did not win this match very easily.

I will definitely blame the Chennai Super Kings bowlers for the reason of losing the match against Lucknow Super Giants because the Chennai Super Kings bowlers did not bowl very well which resulted in Chennai Super Kings losing by 8 wickets against Lucknow Super Giants. Lucknow Super Giants openers KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock batted brilliantly in the target of 177 runs given by Chennai Super Kings. Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul batted brilliantly due to the responsible batting of both of them, were able to defeat a strong team like Chennai Super Kings. Quinton de Kock scored 54 runs from 43 balls. OKL Rahul was dismissed for 84 off 53 balls. Yesterday match was very bad for chennai super kings because chennai super kings bowlers have never seen such a bad performance if chennai super kings bowlers could have been responsible surely the result of the match would have been different.

After a long time, the clash among Chennai Super Kings squad against Lucknow Super Giants squad is ongoing on crease and both squads members entered in crease for displaying their batting or bowling innings performance and their skills. Chennai Super Kings squad has begun this match with first batting Inning and their first inning was already completed and Chennai Super Kings squad collected 176 scores and if we closely see their defeating target which seem not a weak and low quality target. Ravindra Jadeja batter displayed very significant strength in batting and collected 57 scores which was better than other batters. One starter batter Ajinkya Rahane was collected 36 scores off 24 deliveries. Now let's watch out what Lucknow Super Giants squad are up to on field and their batting Inning has just begun and 5 overs successfully completed. According to these 5 overs, their batting inning is going quite great. What outcome are come at last in this fight lets watch out .

I think yesterday's match would be lost by Chennai Super Kings as we can see Lucknow Super Giants wonderful batting and everyone knew this once the LSK had a big opening partnership.

I think Chennai Super Kings could have made some more runs but at least they made average runs. At this time, there are also more chances for Chennai Super Kings to achieve the loss in such a good way, that they are down by  85.43% (Percentage), and slowly, their percentage are coming down. This a point where you can say Chennai Super Kings would be lose this match and the players had given the hope even before the match ended..
Lucknow Super Giants won this match easily at Lucknow.

CSK could have made more runs but LSG bowlers were good which caused CSK a few early wickets. Jadeja got good runs but he was slow but Dhoni came in the end and got CSK to a decent total. LSG started well as both the openers got their half century and they both were the reason why LSG won the match comfortably.

[libert19]

LSG should give more chances to Shamar Joseph instead of dropping him right away after one game, the reason he was wicketless in LSG's previous match against KKR was solely due to poor fielding. There were two drops and those were of Phil Salt, who eventually went on to become match winner in that match.

LSG started well as both the openers got their half century and they both were the reason why LSG won the match comfortably.

The biggest reason for CSK's loss was the poor performance of the opening pair. Especially, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and Sameer Rizvi due to a lack of consistency in their performances. Had MS Dhoni got a few more balls, maybe a few more runs would have gone ahead.

On the other hand, LSG is a very strong team with a bowling side and batting site for this season. The consistency of each of them is worth watching. All the best for LSG. I hope that if they can't take the IPL Cup this time, they will take it the next day.

[FinePoine0]

If the Chennai Super Kings team is forced to put up a good bowling performance then there is definitely a chance to win. Because those who performed well at the right time but yesterday in this match they performed very poorly. Only Moeen Ali has done good bowling performance and all other players have performed very poorly. Mostafizur Rahman, in particular, picked up a wicket as the Chennai Super Kings proved unable to put any pressure on the bowling side. Due to which Chennai Super Kings team had to lose to Lucknow Super Giants team.

As far as both openers of CSK are concerned, Rachin Ravindra got out for duck while Ajinkya Rahane did well by scoring 36 runs. 176 is not a target which you can easily defend on flat tracks of IPL. You need to set a target of 200 to give your bowlers chance to win the game for you in IPL. Openers done the job for LSG, they both have 134 runs partnership. CSK bowling was terrible last night, they picked only 2 wickets. CSK lost yesterday game but they are still at number 3rd position.

I get that he is a finisher and he did his job well. But at the stage when CSK was 90/5, Dhoni could have come in and scored much more quickly. Because we saw that the track was not as bad as it looked earlier. And if he was in earlier I think the score could have been bigger.

What I am trying to say is that Dhoni has saved India from similar situations like that a lot of times in the past and also in his prime. But the thing is the score was not that bad. The bowlers of CSK did not do a good enough job as well. The performance from LSG was really good by the way. The way they attacked from the start and finished comfortably, definitely is going to give them a lot of confidence as well. Great win for LSG after two losses.

I agree with you. In yesterday's match, the performance of the bowlers was very worse than the batsmen of Chennai Super Kings. If the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings could have bowled aggressively from the beginning, then the Super Giants batsmen would have been under a lot of pressure. Going into bat against a target of 177 runs given by Chennai Super Kings, the Super Giants opener batted brilliantly and their responsible batting did not have much trouble to win. Super Giants won by 8 wickets against Chennai Super Kings. If the Chennai Super Kings bowlers could have bowled aggressively from the start then the outcome of the match could have been different.

If Chennai's bowlers bowled well, the match would not have been so one-sided. Chennai's bowling was very poor. On the other hand, LSG's two openers batted responsibly. In the previous matches we have seen Mustafiz and Mathesha Pathirana bowling well. But in the last two matches we have seen poor bowling from Mustafiz. Pathirana managed some controlled bowling but it was not enough. If the performance of the bowlers does not improve, the Chennai team will not be among the top four in the table.

Chennai's top order did not play well against Lucknow. Chennai lost wickets very quickly. Even then, the team was able to set a target of 177 runs. With the help of Jadeja and Dhoni's excellent batting, Chennai managed to set a target of 176 runs. However, Chennai's bowlers need to work harder. Otherwise, it is not possible for the team to consistently perform well.

Nepal team won the toss and decided to bat first but the Nepali batsmen are not batting well and are under pressure from the start. The Hong Kong bowlers bowled aggressively from the start and the Nepali batsmen were under pressure from the start as they did not bat well. No batsman of Nepal could collect such good runs. Current score of Nepal team is 106 runs for 8 wickets in 18 overs game is going on. Looking at the current score of Nepal team it seems that if they play full over they can score maximum 130 runs. If Hong Kong's bowlers can restrict Nepal's batsmen to 130 runs, if they can bat responsibly, Hong Kong can win against Nepal.

On the other hand, LSG is a very strong team with a bowling side and batting site for this season. The consistency of each of them is worth watching. All the best for LSG. I hope that if they can't take the IPL Cup this time, they will take it the next day.

Let's suppose if Ms Dhoni was promoted up the order, would Chennai Super Kings be able to chase this target and win the match? I do not think this could happen as all the players from CSK needed to play their part and not just one or two people can make the game turn in the favor of CSK. Just compare their innings with  Lucknow Super Giants and you will see the difference between the batsmen of both team. LSK top order batsmen took the whole responsibility and their captain KL Rahul made sure that his team stayed on top throughout the run chase.

Even with this loss, Chennai Super Kings are still on the number three spot on the table with 8 points but they have played 7 matches, that maybe a disadvantage for them.
On the other hand Lucknow Super Giants , moved up the table on the 5th position with also 8 points and they have also played 7 matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders are the two teams that have played 6 matches yet.

Super Giants won by 8 wickets against Chennai Super Kings. If the Chennai Super Kings bowlers could have bowled aggressively from the start then the outcome of the match could have been different.

Although, Not only Chennai Super Kings is strong but also Lucknow Super Giants is too strong. 177 runs wasn't a big score to win for LSG. For that, they easily reached victory. Yes, the opening batsman played brilliantly, and their opening partnership gave the winning figure. Lucknow Super Giants players as like real Jinns. The names of Quinton de Kock, and KL Rahul are really Jinns. For their performance, the team won the match. Cricket is a game where no one shouldn't escape any single ball.

3 rd play off is being played between Hong Kong and Nepal team of ACC Men's Premier Cup series. This game was started and Nepal team won toss and they had a right to choose bat or bowl and Nepal gave a bowling chance to Hong Kong team. Nepal team already batted all overs few minutes ago and Nepal team set 139 runs in 20 overs by losing 8 wickets. Hong Kong team bowling line effort was brilliant and target which was gave by Nepal team also not well and also easily chased if Hong Kong will play batting line without any pressure and hold wickets. D. Airee Batsman effort was greate and he scored 44 runs in 29 balls and he hitted four 4s and three 6s. Opening of Nepal team was not going good both Batsman A.Sheikh and K.Bhurtel was dismissed for few runs and performed very poor. Hong Kong A.Shukla bowler took down 3 wickets in 3 overs with 17 runs. In my experience, Hong Kong will easily chase this game by chasing all target let's see what happen in next.

Does anyone else think that Dhoni should be in a little earlier?

I get that he is a finisher and he did his job well. But at the stage when CSK was 90/5, Dhoni could have come in and scored much more quickly. Because we saw that the track was not as bad as it looked earlier. And if he was in earlier I think the score could have been bigger.

What I am trying to say is that Dhoni has saved India from similar situations like that a lot of times in the past and also in his prime. But the thing is the score was not that bad. The bowlers of CSK did not do a good enough job as well. The performance from LSG was really good by the way. The way they attacked from the start and finished comfortably, definitely is going to give them a lot of confidence as well. Great win for LSG after two losses.

Here is another argument.

Dhoni is 42 yo wicketkeeper batsman. Let's say he comes as early as 4-5 down, so most of the time after 12 or 14 overs and in case of some collapse then maybe in between 8-12 overs. That's a period where spinners operate and the field is spread, you have to rotate the strike and even try for doubles (don't forget he's old and WK). Also, he used to be good against spinner but not anymore, as far as hitting 6s is concerned.
