Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings come face to face once again in the Indian Premier League 2023 season. The last time they played it was a high-scoring affair where more than 400 runs were scored as CSK beat LSG by 12 runs. This time around they play at the Ekana Stadium which has hosted the lowest-score affair. In the last game played here, the match turned one to be a memorable game for all the wrong reasons in the end. Here is all you need to know before the LSG vs CSK clash.
Lucknow Super Giants has 10 points in nine games. They host CSK after a loss against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their home stadium. The Lucknow team has had a disappointing time at their home stadium. They have only won two games out of the 5 they have played here. In their last three games at the Ekana Stadium, they have been on the losing side every time.
Chennai Super Kings just like their opponent too come into the clash on the back of a loss. CSK will feel that they have an advantage heading into the match. CSK have won three out of the five games they have played away from home. The MS Dhoni-led side will look to better their record away from home against a poor-at-home Lucknow side.
