00:36role to play with Willow in hand. He top-scored with 71 of 42 balls
00:42embellished with six fours and five sixes and Shivam Dubey chipped in with 32
00:53not out as CSK closed on 187 for five. When LSU responded Mitch Marsh and Josh

01:07overs with Marsh doing the bulk of the scoring. English chipped in with 36 of 32
01:12deliveries. But Marsh was scoring rapidly and went on to get 90 of 38 balls with
01:21nine fours and seven sixes. He was fortuitously run out at the non-striker's
01:26end and missed out on a third IPL sentry. Former West Indies player Nicholas Puran also
01:34had a blast out in the middle. He smashed the boundary and four sixes as
01:41LSG were large and in charge in this one. Puran hit the winning runs in style to
