“He has actually made probably the most of it. He has been hitting the ball effectively the entire event and has at all times been threatening.” LSG’s victory was heavily aided by the dew settling in at Chepauk on Tuesday, and Voges felt it was a good toss to win.
“At the midway stage, we may really feel the dew on the outfield, and it performed a component within the again finish of the sport. In the top, it was toss to win,” he added.

“It was an incredible recreation of cricket. The batting from either side was excellent,” he continued.
“CSK did put us beneath strain with the ball, but it was our greatest evening execution-wise. We wanted somebody to face up, and Stoinis performed an excellent innings,” he stated.
