LSG vs CSK Stats and Records Preview: Players Who Can Cross Milestones In IPL 2023 Match 45

Lucknow, May 2: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 45 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow in the first game of the double-header on Wednesday (May 3).

On 10 points, LSG and CSK will both look to bounce back from defeats and strengthen their chances in the IPL 2023 playoffs. Injured KL Rahul is unlikely to feature for LSG. In his absence, Krunal Pandya is likely to be the stand-in skipper.

In the recent outings, LSG suffered an 18-run loss in a low-scoring match at home against Royal Challengers Bangalore, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led CSK also suffered defeat at the home against Punjab Kings in a high-scoring thriller.

Now, both teams will look to put their campaign back on track as the playoff race is expected to get tighter this season with many teams locked on same amount of points. LSG will not only need to bounce back from defeat to RCB, they also need to avenge the reverse fixture loss to CSK.

This will be the third meeting between the two sides in IPL. This will also be the first meeting between the two sides at the Ekana Stadium, where the hosts don't hold a great record.

Now, we take a look at the stats and records preview of LSG and CSK along with stats for previous franchises against team, interesting facts and players chasing milestones ahead of LSG vs CSK in IPL 2023:

CSK vs LSG Head-to-Head

In the two meetings between the sides in IPL, both LSG and CSK have won one match each. In IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants chased down a mammoth 211 thanks to the heroics from Evin Lewis (55 not out off 23 balls) and Ayush Badoni (19 not out off 9 balls).

In the reverse fixture of IPL 2023 last month, LSG were well set on chasing down a big target once again against CSK, but Dhoni's men helped by Moeen Ali's four-wicket haul held on to win by 12 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
