But it was Akash Madhwal’s destructive haul of 5/5 that helped dismantle the power-packed LSG batting lineup on a Chepauk wicket that was a better surface to bat on compared to the one used for Qualifier 1, in which Chennai Super Kings defeated GT by 15 runs to reach their 10th IPL final.
MI, who had suffered a heartbreaking five-run loss against LSG in Lucknow on 16 May, face defending champions GT in their next assignment, in Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday. The winner of that encounter will then face four-time champions CSK at the same venue on Sunday, 28 May.
