CSK Wins Toss and Chooses to Field First
MS Dhoni, standing in as CSK captain, won the toss and chose to bowl first. Citing dew and the need for consistency in CSK’s batting, Dhoni opted for a strategic change. Shaik Rasheed and Jamie Overton were brought into the XI, while Devon Conway and R Ashwin were rested.
LSG Starts Solid Despite Early Jitters
Rishabh Pant-led LSG got off to a rocky start with early wickets of Markram and Pooran. However, Pant and Marsh formed a quickfire 50-run partnership before Marsh fell post-timeout. Ayush Badoni came in at No. 5 and counter-attacked brilliantly.
