LSG will take on CSK in a crucial game in Lucknow. LSG suffered a crushing 18-run loss to RCB in the last game which has dented their position in the points table. Even though they are placed third on the points table, with five wins in nine matches, they are tied on points with CSK, RCB, and PBKS. MI has four wins but they have played a game less so LSG cannot breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, CSK lost to PBKS at home. This was CSK's second loss in Chennai this season. The team will be playing an away game against Lucknow but the sluggish nature of the surface will help their spinners.
The surface has been on the slower side and run-scoring won't be easy. It will be very hard to score runs of spinners and rotation of strike will be key.
There is 50 per cent chance of rain on match day, however, the chances are mere 25 per cent during the game time.
KL Rahul (c)/Manan Vohra, Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Amit Mishra, Yash Thakur

KL Rahul picked up an injury during LSG vs RCB match and there are doubts if he will be available for selection in the coming game or not.
The two teams have met twice, with both winning a game each. LSG defeated CSK in the first meet of IPL 2023.

Devon Conway has been superb for CSK this season. Conway is the highest run scorer for CSK this season with 414 runs so far.
Shivam Dube can be a big player for CSK. LSG will be relying on their spinners and since the wicket doesn't offer much pace, batters will need to use their own power to send the ball over the ropes. Dube can be a good addition to our team.
Ravindra Jadeja has delivered a phenomenal performance for CSK this year, especially with the ball. On a wicket like Lucknow, Jadeja can be lethal.
Krunal Pandya can also be hard to tackle on a sluggish Lucknow wicket. If Rahul doesn't play, Pandya may lead the side and bat up the order.
Amit Mishra is using all his experience to exploit the conditions in Lucknow. Mishra has bowled beautifully and has reaped rewards for the same. He can be a match-winner for LSG in the coming game.
