Preview
The match 45 of Indian Premier League 2023 will involve the hosts Lucknow Super Giants going head-to-head against Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. LSG will arrive into this fixture on the back of a very good start to their IPL campaign as they are currently in the top 4 on the points table. Meanwhile, CSK lost their previous game at home against PBKS. As both Super Giants and Super Kings are having a decent tournament, expect their upcoming contest to be a very close one.
Toss Prediction
Lucknow Super Giants have won only a couple of tosses in the IPL 2023, while CSK have won 4 tosses in 9 matches. Furthermore, LSG did get the toss right against CSK in their previous encounter earlier this season in Chennai, so this trend might continue in their upcoming match in Lucknow.
Win Possibility
Both CSK and LSG stand at one win a piece against each other in their short IPL history. Earlier in the 2023 season, Chennai were able to defeat Lucknow in a reasonably close matchup at home, so they will fancy their chances to repeat that feat in Lucknow on May 3.
Predicted Powerplay Score and First Innings Score
The average first innings score at the Ekana Cricket Stadium is 152 in its first IPL season thus far, owing to pitches being very conducive to bowling. And the expectation of a similar pitch would mean that the first innings score in the LSG vs CSK match might hover around 158-166, while the powerplay score could get up to 42-48.
