Lucknow beat Chennai by 6 wickets

Lucknow Super Giants pulled off a miraculous six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings on Thursday as they chased down a massive 211-run target. The newly-formed franchise registered the fourth highest successful run-chase ever in the history of the IPL for their maiden triumph.

This is the second instance of CSK allowing their opponents to chase down a 210+ target in IPL history. It is the fourth biggest chase in IPL history.

Absence of Deepak Chahar, unproven youngsters and dew all played into Lucknow’s hands even against a seemingly steep target.

KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock provided a perfect launchpad and Evin Lewis with the late flourish. Pity it means Robin Uthappa’s knock goes in vain. LSG pick up their first win of the season while CSK are 0-2 after two matches
