Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the sixth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday (April 3). Notably, CSK lost their first game of the tournament to Gujarat Titans (GT), whereas LSG started the league with a comprehensive 50-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC).
Kyle Mayers and Mark Wood proved to be the standout performers for the Lucknow-based team in their game against DC. While Mayers smashed storming 73 off 38 deliveries for his team, Wood picked a fifer and gave away just 14 runs in his quota of four overs. On the other hand, CSK’s Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a brilliant 92 for his side against GT, but the Chennai-based team failed to bowl well and ended up losing the contest. Lucknow will look to continue the momentum in their match against CSK. Meanwhile, Chennai will seek to register their first win of the tournament.
