The loss has now left CSK needing to win both of their remaining league stage matches with a good net run rate in order to avoid being eliminated in the league stage for the third IPL season in a row.
Left-arm pacer Akash Singh, playing his first match this season, dismissed each of CSK's top three batters within the first eight overs. Kartik Sharma and Dewald Brevis put up 70 for the fourth wicket, and Sharma got to his half-century before being dismissed for 71.
Mitchell Marsh took it upon himself to chase the target of 187 runs all by himself. He made excellent use of the fielding restrictions to bring up a 21-ball fifty within the powerplay itself. He was particularly severe on Anshul Kamboj, hitting the Haryana bowler for 28 runs in the fifth over, including four sixes in a row.
Inglis holed out off Mukesh Choudhary. On the very next ball, Marsh was run out backing up too much at the non-strikers' end to be dismissed for 90 runs off 38 balls.

"Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ordinary all season" - Kris Srikkanth
Srikkanth laid into Gaikwad and his opening partner, Sanju Samson, for failing to provide any substantial starts as a duo. He also blasted their poor performance against LSG on Friday.
"Sanju, after the first over, made a mess of things, as did Ruturaj Gaikwad. They never gave Sanju drivable balls. Both got tucked in by the LSG bowlers. Though Inglis didn't score much, it was his partnership with Marsh that made a telling difference," he added.
CSK's playoff chances and next matches
Srikkanth also went on to comment on the chances of Ruturaj Gaikwad's men qualifying for the playoffs this year.
Ruturaj Gaikwad will be expected to put in a strong performance in CSK's next two matches. The 2023 champions will essentially need to win both matches and improve their net run rate in order to qualify for the playoffs.
CSK will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in Chennai on May 18, and Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on May 21.
