CSK vs LSG IPL 2023: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 3 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow for the 46th match of the IPL 2023. LSG have won five of their first nine games and are currently third in the standings. In their previous match against Royal Challenger Bangalore, they were unable to hunt down a meager target of 127 runs. They will enter this match having failed to do so. LSG’s most effective bowler was Naveen-ul-Haq, who took three wickets and allowed 30 runs in four overs. Only Krishnappa Gowtham batted for more than twenty runs.
The Chennai Super Kings have also won five of their last nine games and are currently in fourth position in the standings. They have lost their last two games and will be aiming to win their next contest. In the previous match against Punjab Kings, CSK scored 200 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs, with Devon Conway contributing another half-century. On the final delivery of the match, however, the PBKS batsmen’s collective effort helped them chase down this total.
