After playing nine games both the teams have registered five wins and four losses and currently ranked as third and fourth in the points table with Lucknow just above Chennai with 10 points. Lucknow will look to carry on their momentum in their next match as they get ready to host CSK at their home ground. Lucknow will look to bounce back in their upcoming match and solidify their chances of reaching the playoffs. After registering a huge win against Punjab Kings (PBKS), Lucknow had to face defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Bowling first, Naveen-ul-haq (3-fer) along with Ravi Bishnoi (2-fer) and Amit Mishra (2-fer) produced magical spells that aided in restricting RCB to paltry total of 126 despite some fight back knocks from Faf Du Plessis and Virat Kohli. Chasing 127, Lucknow suffered a major batting collapse with their captain KL Rahul also getting injured and they got bowled out for 108.

Chennai, on the other hand, are also coming off a defeat against 2022 IPL finalists, Rajasthan Royals, and are placed in the fourth position with 10 points. Batting first, Rajasthan raced off to a big total of 202 on account of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s brilliant knock of 77. For Chennai, their pick of the bowlers was Tushar Despande who bagged two wickets. However, those wickets came at the expense of too many runs as Rajasthan reached a big total. Chasing 203, Ruturaj Gaikwad (47) and Shivam Dubey (52) brought CSK closer to the target but with their dismissal it all went downhill as they got out for 170. Chennai in their next match will also be aiming for a comeback as they look to book their place in this year’s playoffs. Amit Mishra Surpasses Lasith Malinga to Become Third-Highest Wicket-Taker in IPL, Achieves Feat During LSG vs RCB Match.
