Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face each other in the 39th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Tuesday, April 23. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the encounter.

The Super Kings, led by their new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, started their campaign with 3 wins on the trot. However, the defending champions are going through a rough patch of form.

The Super Giants, on the other hand, are hanging in the middle of the table with 8 points and a net run rate of +0.123 courtesy wins in 4 out of 7 matches. They lost back-to-back matches at the hands of Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but returned to form after beating the Super Kings by 8 wickets on Friday at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

After being asked to bat first, CSK scored 176 for the loss of 6 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja was their star performer after he scored 57 runs off 40 balls with 5 fours and a six. MS Dhoni used the long handle to good effect, scoring 28 runs off 9 balls with 3 fours and 2 sixes.

The Super Giants chased down the target with 6 balls to spare. KL Rahul won the Player of the Match award after he notched 82 off 53 before a brilliant catch from Ravindra Jadeja sent him back. Quinton de Kock also made 54 runs off 43 balls.
