FOLLOW: LSG VS CSK IPL 2026 LIVE SCORE
On Friday at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, CSK have the chance to take a crucial step ahead towards the Playoffs while also making the top-4 race all the more intense should they trounce the Super Giants for the second time in five days. CSK will hold a lot of promise in the fact that they broke an eight-year drought when they chased down a 204-run target against Lucknow at Chepauk, a feat they had not managed since 2018.
CSK could become the fourth team to reach 14 points should they beat LSG tonight, even pipping the Punjab Kings, who had started the season unbeaten across seven matches, before dropping five matches on the bounce and standing currently on 13 points.
