The main reason for LSG's defeat was the excellent bowling of Chennai's two bowlers, Moeen Ali and Mitchell Santner. Moeen Ali conceded only 26 runs in 4 overs, and he managed to pick up four important wickets. Moeen Ali picked up two important and necessary wickets from KL Rahul and Kyle Mayers. Chennai could not have won the match if these two batsmen could not be dismissed at the right time. Also, Mitchell Santner took only 1 wicket, but he gave only 21 runs in 4 overs. Very controlled bowling by these two bowlers. Tapor's LSG played well enough, they managed to collect 205 runs.
Moeen Ali has made an important contribution to the victory of CSK in this match. Moeen Ali came in to bowl when the team needed wickets and single-handedly kept the flying Lakhnao Super Joint at bay.
But not without praising Moeen Ali's brilliant bowling as well as Mahendra Singh Dhoni's superb captaincy. Because he brought CSK back into the game through bowling changes at crucial times. When K Mayers was batting at a 250 plus strike rate on the wicket and was hitting all the big names with one boundary after another, Captain Cool trusted Moeen Ali. And Moeen Ali repaid the captain's trust.
K Mayers and Lokesh Rahul were dismissed by Moeen Ali to pave the way to the pavilion and bring CSK back into the match.
All in all yesterday's match was really great for Chennai Super Kings. Because they both performed well with the bat. However, Lucknow Super Giant did not give up so easily and conceded defeat by just 12 runs in the last over.
