Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings have been forced to split points as their Indian Premier League match was known as off due to rain right here on Wednesday.
With incessant rain lashing the Ekana Stadium, even the minimal 5 overs of the CSK innings weren’t doable after the house workforce had made 125 for seven in 19.2 overs when rain interrupted play.
LSG middle-order batter Ayush Badoni’s unbeaten 59 (33 balls; 2x4s, 4x6s) was the one vivid spot within the house workforce’s in any other case lacklustre play as Chennai Super Kings’ Moeen Ali (2/13) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/37) impressed by making early inroads.
The sport started after a 15-minute delay due to moist outfield and rain returned within the ultimate over of the primary innings to halt the proceedings.
Brief scores:
LSG 125/7 in 19.2 overs (Nicholas Pooran 20, Ayush Badoni 59 not out; Moeen Ali 2/13, Maheesh Theekshana 2/37) vs CSK.
Teams
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana.
Lucknow Super Giants: Kyle Mayers, Manan Vohra, Karan Sharma, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran (w), Krunal Pandya (c), Krishnappa Gowtham, Naveen-ul-Haq, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan.
