LSG vs CSK LIVE score, IPL 2026: Toss at 7 PM, LSG look to spoil CSK's party

LSG vs CSK LIVE: Lucknow Super Giants will be aiming to deter Chennai Super Kings in their effort to make it to the IPL 2026 playoffs with a win against the five-time champions on Friday. Rishabh Pant and co, who have already been eliminated from the tournament and are languishing at the bottom of the points table, will be aiming to hand an upset to CSK, especially after they were handed a 5-wicket defeat in the previous match. Ruturaj Gaikwad and co. are on a three-match winning streak at present, and have recovered very well after a miserable start to the season. However, LSG have been quite unpredictable, and hence could prove to be a menace for the 5-time champions.

LSG vs CSK preview

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men are peaking at the right time. Currently sitting 5th with 12 points, they have won four of their last five matches. The inclusion of Sanju Samson (424 runs this season) has revitalized their middle order, though they face a setback with Jamie Overton being ruled out due to injury. Meanwhile, it has been a season to forget for the Rishabh Pant-led side, who languish at the bottom of the table. Despite stellar individual performances from Mitchell Marsh (recently scored a century) and Josh Inglis, the team has struggled to close out games. However, playing at home with “nothing to lose” makes them a massive threat to CSK’s campaign.
