Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets in IPL 2026 match on Friday (May 15) in Lucknow. Chasing a modest total of 188, LSG were on fire as they added 135 runs for the opening wicket before reaching the target in 16.4 overs. Already out of playoff race, the win doesn't affect LSG's standing as they still stay last on the points table with eight points from four wins and eight losses in 12 matches. CSK, on the other hand, suffered a jolt to their playoff contention after sixth loss of the season as they stand sixth with 12 points from six wins in 12 matches.
LSG register win but to no avail
Chasing the total, LSG were always in control, thanks to openers Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis. The Aussie duo added 135 runs for the opening wicket in 11.3 overs before being dismissed on consecutive balls. Marsh was aggressor of two, scoring 90 off 38 balls and Inglis ably supported him with 36 off 32. Abdul Samad, who came to bat at two down, was dismissed quickly as well on 7 runs before Nicholas Pooran (32 not out off 17) and Mukul Choudhary (13 not out off 10) took the team home in 16.4 overs.
The win, however, doesn't do them any good as they are already out of playoff race. LSG had started the season well with two wins in first three games before losing six on the trot and getting out playoffs. In the last three matches, however, they have again notched up two wins but too little too late for them.

Why the Su-30MKI is one of the heaviest fighters ever built
Batting first in Lucknow, CSK lost skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (13) and Sanju Samson (20) inside powerplay before Urvil Patel joined them back in dressing room in the eighth over. At 52/3, Kartik Sharma (71) and Dewald Brevis (25) joined forces and added 70 runs for the fourth wicket before both of them departed in space of eight balls and CKS were 142/5 in 16 overs. Shivam Dube (32 not out off 16) and Prashant Veer (13 unbeaten) then added 45 runs in the last four overs as CSK finished 187/5 in 20 overs.
The loss has put a dent in CSK's playoff chances as they sit on 12 points from 12 matches with two more games left for them this season. They'd have to win both of them and hope for other results to go their way as well if they are to play in playoffs.
