In the last five LSG vs CSK head-to-head encounters between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the Rishabh Pant-led side has enjoyed a heavy lead of 3-1 over the five-time champions, with one game ending as a no result.
Both sides will face each other on April 14, 2025, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
One of the vital aspects of the 20-over format is how the teams tackle the middle overs against the spinners. Chennai is at the bottom of the table in that prospect. In six innings, they have smashed just 324 runs, losing 19 wickets at an average of below 20 and a strike rate of 116.36.
It’s hard to believe that a side, which tends to trap the opposition side with the spinners. can’t play the spinners between the seventh and 15th over. In 54 overs throughout this edition, they have nailed just 13 sixes and 21 boundaries.
The most number of wickets in this phase means they haven’t got the rhythm with the bat before the LSG vs CSK fixture.

On the other hand, Lucknow is at the top in this department, with 270 runs in five innings at an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 166.67. They have drilled 38 boundaries and 28 sixes. Having lost just 12 wickets, they always have the power and option to go for the big shots.
Going into the LSG vs CSK encounter, the onus will again be on the West Indies left-handed batter, Nicholas Pooran, who is the leading run-getter of the season so far with 288 runs at a strike rate of 225.
