- May 03, 2023 17:18LSG 125/6 in 19 Overs
Badoni shines with a sparkling half-century and his knock might prove the difference on a track where stroke play is difficult.

- May 03, 2023 17:12LSG 105/6 in 18 Overs
The 100 is up for Lucknow but Pathirana removes Nicholas Pooran at a very crucial stage in the game as the southpaw hits straight to Moeen Ali at cover. Ambati Rayudu is the Impact Player in place of Theekshana. With two more overs to go, Lucknow will look to go for the late surge.
- May 03, 2023 17:06LSG 98/5 in 17 Overs

- May 03, 2023 17:02LSG 83/5 in 16 Overs
The partnership is worth 39 but Lucknow needs big hits from its batsmen. Pathirana bowls his second over and Chennai will look to close the innings. A good over from Pathirana and the partnership has been solid.
- May 03, 2023 16:58LSG 73/5 in 15 Overs
Badoni breaks away from the schakles and hits Theekshana for a maximum and that’s a much-needed shot from Lucknow’s point of view. 11 runs from Theekshana’s over.
- May 03, 2023 16:52LSG 62/5 in 14 Overs
Pathirana into the attack as the fast bowler replaces Moeen Ali. The bowler with an action like Malinga starts well by giving just five runs from his opening over. Pooran will look to tee off and give Lucknow a total to defend.
- May 03, 2023 16:44LSG 57/5 in 13 Overs
Theekshana is back into the attack and almost had Badoni caught at the short fine-leg region. The dot balls continue to hamper Lucknow’s progress with Pooran forced to curtail his natural stroke play.
- May 03, 2023 16:41LSG 52/5 in 12 Overs
Moeen Ali bowls an excellent spell as the off-spinner registers figures of 2-13 in 4 overs and didn’t concede a single boundary and that sums up the brilliant bowling from the all-rounder. Chennai dictating terms at the moment.
- May 03, 2023 16:38LSG 48/5 in 11 Overs
Jadeja continues to be impressive as Chennai has kept a lid on the scoring along with picking wickets at regular intervals. Nicholas Pooran is joined by Ayush Badoni and this partnership is going to be crucial for Lucknow.
- May 03, 2023 16:36LSG 44/5 in 10 Overs

- May 03, 2023 16:30LSG 42/4 in 9 Overs

- May 03, 2023 16:27LSG 38/4 in 8 Overs
Moeen Ali rolls out an economical over with Lucknow under the pump. Nicholas Pooran and Karan Sharma have a job in their hands and the revival will be crucial for the home side to post a challenging total on board.
- May 03, 2023 16:23LSG 34/4 in 7 Overs
Ravindra Jadeja spins out Marcus Stoinis and the batsman is stunned as the ball spins from the leg stump to crash the top of the off-stump to put Lucknow in all sorts of trouble. Four down within the first 10 overs and Chennai is bossing the game at the moment. Wonderful start from Jadeja.
- May 03, 2023 16:19LSG 31/3 in 6 Overs
Maheesh Theekshana into the attack and the spinner strikes straightaway as Vohra pays the price of playing across the stumps and gets cleaned up.

Chennai will be very happy with its effort in the PowerPlay by picking three wickets with Lucknow struggling to score.
- May 03, 2023 16:11LSG 25/1 in 5 Overs
Top shot from Vohra as he skips down the track and gets his wrists into play to flick Chahar through the mid-wicket for a boundary. Karan Sharma is off the mark after the fall of Mayers and MS Dhoni comes up to the stumps to prevent the batsmen from dancing down the track.
- May 03, 2023 16:05LSG 19/1 in 4 Overs
Spin into the attack and Moeen Ali strikes early to remove Mayers and break the opening partnership. The batsman tried to hit Moeen out of the park but couldn’t get the distance as Gaikwad took a good catch running from long-off. Moeen gets Mayers for the second time in the tournament.
- May 03, 2023 16:01LSG 16/0 in 3 Overs
There isn’t much carry on this wicket and Mayers after mistiming one dispatched Chahar to the long-off region for a boundary. A swing and a miss as the ball beats the outside edge and narrowly misses the edge. Chennai looking for a breakthrough as Mayers aims to take on the opposition.
- May 03, 2023 15:57LSG 6/0 in 2 Overs
Tushar Deshpande into the attack and the medium pacer starts well giving absolutely no room to the batsman. Just a single and the Chennai opening bowlers have started well.
- May 03, 2023 15:53LSG 5/0 in 1 Over
Deepak Chahar starts proceedings for Chennai and Mayers is up and running with a boundary off the last ball. Overcast conditions and the Chennai fast bowlers will look to gain some help from the surface that has patches of green cover.

- May 03, 2023 15:08Pitch Report by Danny Morrison and Aaron Finch
“Only 61 meters on one side, the other side is 75 meters. Downtown is 78 meters. The pitch is very patchy, there is quite a lot of green grass on it compared to what we’ve seen in the past. But is very dry underneath. Some plate cracking there. Don’t expect this wicket to play with much bounce in it. Won’t be a lot of bounce. Will still favour the spin.”
- May 03, 2023 14:57Toss Delayed
The Toss has been delayed as there is a slight drizzle in Lucknow. Hopefully, the rain stay away.
