Marsh onslaught, Akash three-for dent Chennai Super King's playoffs ...
Mitchell Marsh’s boundary-laden 90 off 38 balls dented Chennai Super Kings’ playoffs chances and gave the Lucknow crowd something to cheer about. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) dropped from fifth to sixth after the result, with Rajasthan Royals (RR) leapfrogging them on net run-rate. In pursuit of 188 on a tricky surface, Marsh flew out of the blocks, smashing 56 of the 86 runs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had hit in the powerplay. At the halfway mark of the game, ESPNcricinfo’s forecaster had pegged LSG’s win probability at 39.49%. It zoomed up to 91.24% after Marsh’s unfettered powerplay assault. Marsh fell ten short of a century, but Nicholas Pooran increased the count to 100% and sealed LSG’s fourth win this season. They won by seven wickets with 20 balls to spare, but it still wasn’t enough to drag them up from the foot of the points table. Akash Singh emerged from the sidelines for his first game of the season and produced career-best IPL figures of 4-0-26-3, against his former team. While Mohammed Shami explored the full length and conceded three fours to Sanju Samson in the first over, Akash banged it away on a hard length on a bouncy, red-soil Ekana pitch. He cramped all of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Samson and Urvil Patel and celebrated every wicket by pulling out a note from his pocket, which read: “#Akki on fire – Akash knows how to take wickets in a T20 game” Only four of Akash’s 18 balls in the powerplay were fuller than a good length, according to ESPNcricinfo’s logs. His impeccable lengths were central to LSG restricting CSK to 37 for 2 in six overs. Akash bowled four overs on the trot and proved his point. CSK’s 36 for 2 became 52 for 3 when Urvil holed out, but rookie Kartik Sharma repaired the innings along with Dewald Brevis, who contributed 25 off 16 balls. When left-arm fingerspinner Shahbaz Ahmed dragged one marginally short, Kartik picked up the length in a flash and swatted a six over midwicket in the ninth over. While Kartik’s back-foot play was Ambati Rayudu-esque, some of his front-foot shots and off-side range were reminiscent of Samson. All told, Kartik took Shahbaz for 30 off 15 balls before the spinner had him caught at long-on in the 16th over. Kartik showed that he could also cut it against extreme pace as well when he backed away against Mayank Yadav and scythed a 144kph delivery to the right of point for four. Kartik reached his half-century off 35 balls and hushed Ekana with his finger-on-the-lip celebration. When he was looking good f...
