Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets in match 59 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday (May 15). Sent in to bat, young middle-order batter Kartik Sharma smashed 71 off 42 balls to guide CSK to 187 for five. Left-arm medium pacer Akash Singh was the pick of the bowlers for LSG, returning figures of 3 for 26 from his four overs. But towards the end, Shivam Dube played a 16-ball unbeaten 32-run cameo to take CSK to a fighting total. LSG then rode on Mitchell Marsh's 38-ball 90 and Josh Inglis' 36 as the duo shared 135 runs for the opening stand to set the platform for the win. CSK now need to win both their remaining games to have any chance of qualifying for the playoffs; LSG are already out of contention for the next round.
