In a game that remained finely balanced until the final over, Chennai chased down a target of 167 with just one ball to spare.

Electing to bowl first after winning the toss, CSK managed to restrict the home side to a par score of 166 for 7 in 20 overs.

Lucknow's innings saw a cautious start, and early breakthroughs put the hosts under pressure.

Despite the setbacks, LSG consolidated through sensible partnerships in the middle overs, anchoring the innings while keeping the scoreboard ticking.

However, CSK's bowlers applied pressure at crucial junctures, especially in the death overs, preventing a late surge in scoring.
