CSK vs LSG
LSG and CSK will face off for their 30th match of IPL 2025 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. These sides have met five times already with LSG emerging victorious three times and CSK only winning once.
LSG currently sits in fourth place on the table with four wins out of seven matches and an NRR rating of +0.086, trailed closely by Gujarat Titans who hold first position, Delhi Capitals taking second spot and Royal Challengers Bengaluru third.
CSK currently sits adrift at the bottom of the table with only four points after seven games and a negative net run-rate ratio (NRR) rating, leaving them struggling to qualify for playoffs. They must improve dramatically if they want to advance further in this season.
After five successive defeats against LSG Super Giants in the Indian Premier League (IPL), MS Dhoni’s side finally managed to break their losing streak on Monday at Ekana Stadium against Chennai Bowling Attack’s disciplined performance and restrict 167/6 score from LSG Super Giants for an easy victory in IPL match 33 at Ekana.
Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 63 off 49 balls was not enough to deny CSK a much-needed win. They battled hard towards their target but Dhoni delivered with 26 off 11 boundaries in an unbroken unbeaten partnership of 57 runs between Shivam Dube and him that got them there with three balls remaining.
This match was an exciting battle from start to finish as both teams played their best cricket on the field. Rahul Tripathi’s diving catch from backwards cover to send back Aiden Markram in the opening over was an impressive start by CSK bowlers; followed shortly by Khaleel Ahmed taking his maiden IPL wicket by trapping Rohit Sharma leg before for his maiden wicket of this tournament in over 3.
After Rohit’s departure, Vijay Shankar edged to slip in the fifth over and was caught at short midwicket by Shreyas Iyer for only 163 runs, sparking an LSG collapse to 163/9. Rishank Shah managed a remarkable piece of run scoring that enabled them to end with just one wicket remaining and ultimately secure CSK their first win this season as well as snap LSG’s three match winning run; LSG now have only four points on their points table and remain 10th place
