At the halfway stage of the chase, CSK had nosed ahead. At 98/3, LSG needed 112 runs in the last 10 overs. The home team had more than one ace up their sleeve. CSK’s fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana had his entire quota of four overs and Mustafizur had three more. That is seven good death overs. LSG needed to score at 11.2 runs an over.
