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.
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.
