LSG 103-0 (11 Ovs) vs CSK 176-6 | Scorecard
Moeen Ali is brought into the attack, aiming to break the opening partnership. De Kock comes forward and works the ball through midwicket for a single to start the over. Rahul follows suit, jabbing the ball through cover and managing to pick up two runs. He then adds another single to the total.
Ali manages to bowl a dot ball, putting some pressure on the batsmen. De Kock punches the next delivery to long-off for a single, rotating the strike once again. The over concludes with another dot ball.
In total, just five runs come from the over, as LSG reaches 89-0 after 10 overs. They now need 88 runs from 60 balls to secure victory.
LSG has dominated the chase so far, with De Kock and Rahul leading the charge. Although they've had their share of luck, particularly with De Kock surviving a dropped catch, they've capitalised on the opportunities presented to them.
With the match slipping away, CSK needs a flurry of wickets and some luck to turn the tide in their favour.
Jadeja continues his spell, and De Kock initially misses the first delivery. However, he connects well with the next delivery, sending it to the boundary for four runs. He follows it up with a single to rotate the strike.
Meanwhile, Rahul reaches a milestone as he brings up his fifty, his 35th in the IPL. He achieves this feat with a boundary, taking 31 balls to get there. He continues his aggressive approach, adding another four runs to his tally.
The partnership between De Kock and Rahul has put LSG in a commanding position in the chase, leaving CSK in desperate need of breakthroughs.
