Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2023
Match 45 of the 2023 Indian Premier League brings Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings together on Wednesday afternoon in Lucknow. Only net-run-rate separates the teams at this stage after they have both won five of their nine fixtures. Read on as we preview the game. This match begins at 15:30 local time at the IS Bindra Stadium.
Lucknow Super Giants lost a very low-scoring contest at this ground on Monday and must find a way to operate with the bat without KL Rahul if they are to stand a chance in this game.
Chennai Super Kings are not a team to panic and they will be not be overly concerned by two successive defeats. They have a strong squad and some players in excellent form.

Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss, chose to bat and won the game on Monday. We predict that both skippers will want to bat first in this match.
LSG vs CSK Pitch Report
On Monday evening the pitch held the ball up and made free-scoring a tough ask for the batters. We expect another turning pitch at Ekana Cricket Stadium with a par score no higher than 140.
Last two games here were won by the team batting first. Some swing can be seen in the game as rainfall is expected in the earlier part of the day.
Lucknow Weather Report
Very humidity and cloudy conditions are expected on Wednesday afternoon in Lucknow. There is a chance of a short rain shower but, like on Monday, it should not last long enough to reduce the length of the game.

LSG Team News & Playing 11
LSG Team News
The injury sustained by KL Rahul when chasing the ball back to the boundary early on in Monday evening’s game could well signal a first opportunity of the season for Quinton de Kock. We are backing the South African to come into the side to take over at the top of the order and with the gloves.
LSG Key Players
- Kyle Mayers - The West Indian left-handed opener is Lucknow’s leading run scorer in the competition and is three runs away from bringing up 300 runs this year.
- Marcus Stoinis - The Australian all-rounder shrugged off a finger injury sustained in the previous game and was able to bat and bowl to his full ability on Monday.
- Naveen-ul-Haq - The Afghanistan pace bowler cleaned up Royal Challengers Bangalore’s lower order with the wickets of Mahipal Lomror, Karn Sharma and Mohammed Siraj in Match 43.
- Ravi Bishnoi - Bishnoi is the leading wicket taker in the LSG team with 12 wickets in 9 matches at a strike rate of 17.2. If the ball grips well once again then he can be an effective bowler for the team.
LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Daniel Sams, Prerak Mankad, Avesh Khan, Jaydev Unadkat
Avesh Khan has proven himself to be a high quality bowler at this level and it would be no surprise to see him coming into this game at some point. Prerak Mankad has hit seven T20 half-centuries and could be a batting impact option.
LSG Team Form
Lucknow Super Giants missed out on the opportunity to go top on Monday and have lost two of their last three games.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
In spite of losing their previous game by 32 runs to Rajasthan Royals, MS Dhoni announced an unchanged XI for Chennai Super Kings ahead of their defeat to Punjab Kings on Sunday. We expect the Super Kings will want to continue to show faith in their players for at least one more match.
CSK Key Players
- Devon Conway - It has been a brilliant IPL 2023 campaign for the New Zealander who hit a brilliant 92 not out from 50 balls in the last game.
- Ravindra Jadeja - The Indian all-rounder has taken seven wickets from his last four matches and has also contributed over 50 runs at the same time.
- Tushar Deshpande - With a strike-rate of 11.76, the pace bowler is the number one wicket taker in the tournament. He dismissed Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma on Sunday.
- Maheesh Theekshana - Theekshana has picked 5 wickets in 6 matches. He can be a key bowler for the team in this match as bowlers are going to have some advantage here, as seen in the last match.
CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Akash Singh, Dwaine Pretorius, Subhranshu Senapati, Shaik Rasheed, Rajvardhan Hangargekar
Akash Singh was brought into the team as a bowling impact player in the last game and we expect to see him play a role in this match also. Subhranshu Senapati’s highest T20 score is 67 and he bats at the top of the order.
CSK Team Form
Chennai Super Kings had won three games in a row and five from six but are now looking to avoid their third straight defeat of the season.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Matheesha Pathirana, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana, Ambati Rayudu
LSG vs CSK Head to Head

🏆 LSG vs CSK Prediction
Both of these teams have their sights set on the end of season play-offs and there is talent across all departments for Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings.

We are predicting another low-scoring game in Lucknow and for Chennai Super Kings to win.
