Stoinis' attack rallies LSG!

April 23, 2024 22:21

LSG 78-2 (9 ovs) vs CSK 210-4 | Scorecard

Spin from both ends as left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja comes into the attack.

Stoinis hits the first ball to long-off for a single before left-hander Padikkal is beaten trying to cut and he clips the next on the leg side for a single.

Stoinis releases the pressure as he lofts Jadeja over long-on for a six followed by two singles. Jadeja has overstepped off the last ball as LSG get a free hit delivery. Stoinis can't make most of the free hit delivery, hitting it straight to Deshpande at deep extra cover for just a single.

Moeen continues as Stoinis sweeps the first ball in the gap through midwicket for a four.

Moeen from round the wicket gives it some air as Stoinis lofts it straight down the ground for a six.

He takes one on the off-side and Padikkal struggles with his timing as he looks for a forceful shot down the ground for one to midwicket.

The left-hander clips the fifth ball through square leg for two runs followed by a dot ball.

LSG are 78/2 in nine overs, needing another 133 from 11 overs for victory at just above 12 per over.

Stoinis has revived after the early wickets, smashing 49 from 25 balls but Padikkal has struggled for 11 from 13 balls.
