Marsh powers LSG to dominant chase over CSK

Lucknow, May 15 (UNI) Mitchell Marsh delivered a devastating batting masterclass as Lucknow Super Giants overpowered Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets in the 59th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
Chasing a target of 188, Lucknow made the total look well below par, completing the chase in just 16.4 overs at 188 for 3, riding on a fearless top-order assault led by Marsh and a ruthless finishing burst from Nicholas Pooran.
Marsh was the undisputed architect of the chase, smashing 90 off just 38 deliveries with 9 fours and 7 sixes in an innings that completely dismantled the Chennai attack. From the outset, he dictated terms, stepping out, picking lengths early, and sending anything short or full to the boundary with brutal consistency.
