Both teams in with a shout for the IPL 2026 playoff spot
LSG need to win all their remaining games if they are clinch the top four spot
Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings take on Lucknow Super Giants with both teams vying to stay alive in the IPL playoffs race at Chepauk on Sunday. CSK are still in contention for a top four spot despite inconsistent form this IPL 2026 season.
Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side will look to make the most of the home conditions when they welcome LSG, who are rooted to the bottom of the IPL 2026 points table.
CSK, who have missed the services of MS Dhoni this season, have relied heavily on Sanju Samson who has been their batting mainstay. Gaikwad has been hot and cold with the bat whereas the foreign imports have not fired cylinders.
LSG, on the other hand, have just conjured three wins this season in 10 games. Rishabh Pant's form has been poor, with Mitchell Marsh's match-winning century helping them win against RCB and end their six-match losing streak. LSG will have to win all of their remaining matches to stay alive in the IPL 2026 playoffs race.
