LSG vs CSK Highlights IPL 2023: Match called off due to rain, both teams get 1 point each

Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings IPL Highlights: Ayush Badoni stood tall amidst the ruins with a classy half-century on a poor surface before a sharp downpour forced Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings to split points as their IPL match was called off on Wednesday.

This is the first game in the 16th edition of IPL that had to be called off midway due to rain.

Rain stopped play in the 20th over but by then Badoni, who came in at 44 for 5 had put his team in a position of respectability on a very difficult surface.

Badoni, smashed two fours and four sixes in his 33-ball-59 and his temperament on a surface conducive for slow bowlers was worth its weight in gold as it didn’t seem at one point that LSG could cross the 125-run mark.

With 11 points from 10 games, LSG and CSK are placed second and third on the points table respectively. LSG (+0.639) have a better net run rate compared to CSK (+0.329). It was a good toss to win for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the CSK skipper’s decision to bowl first was vindicated by his bowlers on a surface that is certainly not good enough for an absorbing T20 contest.
