Initial signs were that CSK’s plans to turn things around were working. Shaik Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra kept up a swift powerplay pace before faltering somewhat during middle overs.
Dhoni found his rhythm with a one-handed six off Shardul Thakur while Shivam Dube unleashed an ambitious full toss over long off in the Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings match scorecard.

LSG vs CSK Predictions
Both teams are separated by just a couple of wins in the table but both still stand a good chance of qualifying for playoffs. LSG have only lost once this season; victory for them against CSK would solidify their status as contenders while CSK will hope to avoid their fifth consecutive defeat.
This matchup can be difficult to predict as both teams have struggled for form and consistency this season, but Dafabet prices LSG as the better bet at 1.70 while draw is priced at 3.80. LSG have proven superior in the batting department with their fast scorers outpacing CSK; an example being their recent victory against Gujarat Titans where they chased down 181 runs with three balls remaining with ease! CSK however have been slow with the bat and lack any firepower up top;
Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway both have failed to live up to expectations while neither Rachin Ravindra or Devon Conway have scored more than 150 runs since joining.
A win would put them level on points with KKR while defeat will see them slip to sixth in the table. Still, they remain favorites to reach the playoffs and will hope to pick up as many points as possible in order to ensure this.
LSG are expected to cruise past their rivals given their odds and should win this match with ease thanks to their superior bat. Though their bowling attack may not be as potent, LSG have two great spinners in Ravi Bishnoi and Digvesh Rathi both performing exceptionally well and could come away victorious from this contest.
MS Dhoni may be one of the greatest captains in world cricket and his presence should inspire confidence; however, it appears unlikely that CSK can escape their current slump given injuries, out-of-form batters and an absence of leadership at the top causing havoc for them.

On Monday, April 15 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, LSG and CSK are set to face off in an epic clash that begins at 7:30 PM with the toss scheduled at 7 PM IST. You can watch live coverage via Star Sports network as well as stream the match online via Jio Hotstar.
Last time these teams met was an exciting one with CSK emerging victorious by five runs. Notable for CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s comeback was his 26 off 11 balls that gave his side much-needed momentum; unfortunately it wasn’t enough as CSK lost in the final over.
CSK have struggled since losing their first five matches this season and find themselves in an precarious position, struggling for survival. Their recent loss to KKR was particularly painful as they were outclassed 103-9; as part of that loss Ruturaj Gaikwad was suspended until later in the year; their batsmen have since struggled to gain any ground.
On the bowling front, CK Khaleel Ahmed has been one of the few bright spots for this franchise but needs more support from his colleagues. Ravindra Jadeja and Matheesha Pathirana have failed to impress with their economy rates and breakthroughs while Rahul Tripathi and Vijay Shankar haven’t provided any late acceleration for their team.
Each team stands a strong chance at reaching the playoffs, but will need to improve their performances if they wish to advance past round four.
Their match with LSG presents them with the perfect opportunity to make a statement and begin their winning streaks.
The match will be shown live in India on Star Sports 1 HD/SD with English commentary, while fans in the US can stream it via Willow TV through cable providers such as Dish, Xfinity and Verizon Fios – with subscription costs starting from $10 monthly or you could bundle Willow with other services like Sling TV to save even more money!
LSG vs CSK Live Score
Chennai Super Kings prevailed against LSG in Lucknow thanks to a fantastic performance by Rishabh Pant and an engaging cameo by Shivam Dube, both of whom played their parts well en route to victory for Chennai Super Kings who had suffered five consecutive defeats prior to this match – they now find themselves fourth on the table thanks to this win.
LSG began their innings stutteringly and struggled to keep pace with the run rate, yet their middle order offered some hope with Shaik Rasheed and Rachin Ravindra providing promising starts that they were unable to build upon; as a result, CSK held its nerve and managed to secure victory despite it all.
CSK secured victory by picking off several late wickets to maintain control in the last overs. Shardul Thakur claimed his first scalp when Rajat Bhatia mistimed a shot to long-off and was caught by the keeper; and two more wickets fell quickly thereafter as Avesh Khan and Shardul Thakur removed David Miller and Abdul Samad respectively from their innings.
Though they still had an excellent chance of victory, the home side could only muster up 166/7 in 20 overs – an underwhelming score on an unpredictable surface.
CSK’s openers established an excellent platform with their 52-run partnership in their chase for victory, but later suffered from a mini-collapse during middle overs. Dhoni and Dube kept calm to help their side take charge and eventually claim victory.
Shardul Thakur bowled the final delivery, which appeared to be no-ball but Dhoni decided to take a chance with it, smashing it over third man for six and winning his team the match.
The game was an intense contest between both teams with both sides having opportunities to score runs. After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Chennai Super Kings posted an impressive total of 166/7 in their twenty overs with Rishabh Pant (63 off 49 balls) and Ayush Badoni being their key run scorers.

Avesh Khan was brought on for the 16th over and began with two singles before Dhoni hit five balls over covers, sending the crowd wild! Dhoni edged the final ball through vacant slips region for another boundary, taking his score to nine off five while Dube was on 19 off 22.
Ravindra Jadeja takes the final wicket of the match with an outstanding run out from deep midwicket – crucially securing one win for CSK who have lost five out of their previous six home matches; now looking to turn their fortunes around by picking up a victory against Lucknow.
