Lucknow Super Giants host Chennai Super Kings in a crucial game at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. While the hosts have already been eliminated from the race to the IPL 2026 playoffs, CSK are right in it and would want to continue their winning streak against the Super Giants. LSG find themselves right at the bottom of the points table, while the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side is placed fifth with six wins in 11 matches. A win tonight would boost CSK’s chances of making it to the playoffs.
