New Delhi, May 16 -- Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) thrashed Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets with 20 balls to spare, in a high-scoring IPL 2026 clash at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The home side chased down a competitive 188-run target in just 16.4 overs, powered by a match-winning knock from Mitchell Marsh.

LSG skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and elected to bowl first on a slightly tacky pitch. "We are looking to bowl first. Wicket is looking a little bit tacky, so I didn't want us to go out there and bat. We have a lot to achieve as a team," Pant said during the toss. His decision paid off handsomely as LSG's pacers struck early.

CSK got off to a shaky start, losing three wickets inside eight overs for just 52 runs....
