After losing back-to-back one-sided matches against DC and KKR, there is a complete loss of momentum for LSG in the tournament. Meanwhile, CSK are coming off two consecutive wins against KKR and MI, consolidating their position in the top half of the IPL 2024 points table. Pitch Report The pitches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow have improved considerably for the batters in the IPL 2024 season, but still, the bowlers do have something to play with. The average first innings score at this venue in the tournament history is 157, which has increased by around 20 runs in the ongoing IPL, and during the LSG versus CSK clash, it will be vital for the team batting first to post a total around 180 to defend.
