CSK vs LSG IPL 2025 Match prediction: Playing 11, Pitch Report, Dream11 Tips & Live Streaming

Five-time champions and IPL’s most successful franchise, Chennai Super Kings, are having their worst season ever. For the first time in IPL history, CSK have lost five matches in a row and are sitting at the very bottom — 10th place — in the points table.

In the last match, fans were excited as MS Dhoni returned as captain, hoping for a comeback. But CSK could only manage 103 runs against KKR and lost the match one-sidedly. On the other hand, LSG is flying high after defeating GT, with Nicholas Pooran smashing a fiery half-century.

From being five-time champions to now being IPL’s biggest disappointment — CSK is on the edge. Will Dhoni script a miracle?

Ekana Stadium Pitch Report (Lucknow)

The pitch at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium has shown mixed behavior in recent matches.

Spin in Middle Overs: Spinners still get grip and turn, especially in the middle overs, making it tough for batters to rotate strike.

Batting Boost: With better preparation and harder surfaces, scores of 170+ are now common.

Dew Factor: In night games, dew makes bowling difficult in the second innings. That’s why chasing has been slightly more successful here.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

CSK are having a tough season in 2025. Out of 6 matches, they’ve managed to win just 1 and lost 5, placing them at 10th position on the points table.

Fielding Struggles: CSK have dropped 12+ catches in just 6 games, costing them crucial moments.

Overall, both batting and bowling departments are struggling, and they’ll need a magical turnaround to stay alive in the race

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

Batting Strength: The batting unit is in top gear with Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, and Aiden Markram in terrific form.

Bowling – Mixed Bag: While not extraordinary, LSG’s bowling has been decent enough to support their strong batting lineup.

Momentum Advantage: LSG clearly look more settled and consistent, and they will go into this match as favorites.
