In the sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai tonight i.e. Monday, April 3 at 7:30 PM IST.
The Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side must have lost its first game of the season but the team will be walking into the upcoming fixture with its heads up high as CSK will play at their home ground with thousands of people rooting for them after a very long time. LSG won’t just have to negate the CSK players but also their fans present in the stands. The silver linings from the previous defeat were the in-form Ruturaj Gaikwad and MSD still smashing sixes in death overs. The four-time IPL champions may also peep into their bowling line-up before stepping onto the field tonight and claiming those two important points in their backyard.
After outplaying Delhi Capitals (DC), over the weekend, KL Rahul and Co. will desire a similar result in their upcoming fixture. LSG acquired their inaugural victory on their home ground and now playing against the mighty CSK in hostile circumstances will be a daunting task. Kyle Mayers, who is substituting for Quinton de Kock, along with Nicholas Pooran wreaked havoc on Saturday while other batters failed to contribute significantly. The star of the night for Lucknow was Mark Wood, who just ran through DC’s lineup. The Lucknow-based side will look to gain two more points tonight and attain the number one spot on the points table.
Head-to-head:
LSG lead the head-to-head competition as both sides played once last year with Lucknow winning the fixture.
