Chennai Super Kings posted this season's highest IPL total of 217-7 and then held on for a 12-run home win against Lucknow Super Giants. Off-spinner Moeen Ali reined in Kyle Mayers' electrifying 53 on Monday with an impressive 4-26 as Lucknow were restricted to 7-205 in a game where fast bowlers went for plenty and spinners made the bigger impact. "A terrific game," Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said. "The fast bowling will need to slightly improve, and bowl according to the conditions." Mayers clubbed eight boundaries and two sixes in a swashbuckling 22-ball knock, dining out against the likes of seamers Deepak Chahar, Stokes and impact player Tushar Deshpande.
