Lucknow Super Giants, who are out of contention for the play-offs, marred Chennai Super Kings’ chances with a seven-wicket win.
Chennai Super Kings, batting first, made a modest 187 for five with Kartik Sharma topscoring with 71 but the rest of the cast failed to really make it count.
Lucknow Super Giants then stormed to 188 for three with opener Mitchell Marsh hammering a 38-ball 90 with nine fours and seven sixes.
