LSG vs CSK: What happened in the 20th over?
With the score at 155/4, MS Dhoni handed the ball to Matheesha Pathirana to bowl the final over the innings. The Sri Lankan slinger started with a low full toss that went wide. He corrected his line right away, with Rishabh Pant playing a sweep to pick a single.
Pathirana again missed his length to go wide down the leg side. Abdul Samad and Rishabh Pant tried to sneak through a run, but MS Dhoni’s accurate throw caught Samad short of his crease. The very next ball Pant miscued a one handed slog, with Dhoni again taking a fine catch behind the wicket.
With Shardul Thakur the new man in, Pathirana again angled the ball down the leg side for a wide. He followed it up with a dot ball, nailing his line outside off. A slower ball outside off was well wide again, making it the fourth extra conceded in the over. The Sri Lankan then bowled length, with LSG picking two to mid-wicket. A surprise bouncer took the edge of Thakur’s bat and flew over Dhoni for a boundary. The LSG all-rounder was then dismissed off the final ball, with Shaik Rasheed taking a fine catch on the boundary.
Pathirana’s final over: 4 wides, 3 wickets, 11 runs.
Chennai Super Kings now need 167 to win on a tricky wicket at the Ekana Stadium. Rishabh Pant’s half-century took LSG to a fighting total, but with dew settling in, MS Dhoni and CSK would back themselves to see off the chase.
