Lucknow Super Giants raced to the 50-run milestone in just 3.4 overs against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday as Josh Inglis and Mitch Marsh put the CSK bowlers to the sword early on.
Inglis’ quicker half-century helped LSG get to the milestone in just 22 deliveries, matching their previous record, which they set in 2023 also against Chennai.
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the coin toss and opted to field first against the visiting LSG as Inglis’s quick fire half-century helped the side get off to a flyer of a start.
The duo took the side past the fifty run milestone in the fourth over, shortly before Inglis completed his individual fifty in just 16 deliveries. Anshul Kamboj removed Marsh for a run-a-ball-10
as Dewald Brevis picked up a catch in the deep.
Inglis continued his onslaught, while Nicholas Pooran was dismissed for 1 off 3 balls by Noor Ahmed in the first over outside the powerplay as Sarfaraz Khan demonstrated safe hands to get rid of the Windies maverick.
