LSG have won the toss and elected to field first
CSK can go to the 3rd spot, if they win the match comprehensively
The match is being played at the Shri Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in match 59 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Shri Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday, May 15.
CSK have a bright chance of making it into the playoffs by winning two out of the remaining three matches. However, Jamie Overton's injury just before the all-important match come as a major setback to the Yellow Army as he was one of the mainstay of their bowling attack with 14 wickets in 10 matches.
CSK have replaced Jamie Overton with South African all-rounder Dian Forrester in the squad.
On the other hand, LSG are languishing at the bottom of the table with 6 points from just 3 wins and 8 losses in 11 matches. While LSG possess a lethal pace of Indian pacers, who have impressed fans with their performances, it's their batters that have let them down, including skipper Rishabh Pant, who has only scored 251 runs in 11 matches at an average of 27.89 and a strike rate of 138.
They have already been eliminated from the tournament and would like to finish their remaining matches with wins so they don't end up finishing at the bottom of the points table.
