Lucknow Super Giants will take on Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Wednesday in the 45th match of the IPL 2023. Both teams have won five out of the nine matches they have played and they will be looking to build momentum.
Chennai could not defend 200 runs in their last match against Punjab Kings and they will have to pull up their socks with the ball. However, their batting has been doing a fine job for them and they will be looking to carry the good show against LSG. But the pitch is expected to be on the slow side and thus batting will not be easy for both teams.
