LSG vs CSK IPL 2026 Live Score: CSK Eye First Top-Four Entry of Season Despite MS Dhoni Absence and Overton Setback
LSG are out of the playoff race, while CSK must win to keep realistic hopes alive after 12 points in 11 matches.
- On Friday, the 59th match of IPL 2026 between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings begins at 7:30 PM IST at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, with LSG winning the toss and electing to bowl first.
- Lucknow Super Giants enters the match last in the table with six points from 11 matches and is already eliminated from playoff contention, while Chennai Super Kings sits fifth with 12 points and must win to maintain realistic playoff hopes.
- Google predicts a 55% winning probability for Chennai Super Kings versus 45% for Lucknow Super Giants; Josh Inglis's rollicking 87 previously produced a total CSK had not chased down in nearly seven years.
- Lucknow needs to win all three remaining matches to stay within playoff range, and the Rishabh Pant-led side could spoil CSK's playoff ambitions despite playing without grand stakes, as CSK will be wary of Lucknow's bowling attack in their home backyard.
- Chennai Super Kings' recent resurgence has defied early-season skepticism, with several quarters having written them off this year; clear weather is forecast for the encounter, and fans can watch live on Star Sports Network or stream on Jio Hotstar.
