Pitch Report For LSG vs CSK IPL 2024 Match
The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is renowned for its slow-paced pitch, often leading to lower-scoring matches in the past.

Lucknow faced defeats in their recent home match against Delhi and their last IPL 2024 game against Kolkata, losing by eight wickets.

LSG will rely heavily on their top order and Nicholas Pooran to score the big runs and get a score that is in excess to 150 on the Lucknow pitch and will need the likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Mohsin Khan to step up in the bowling department.
CSK will count on their top order and Shivam Dube as they have been in fine touch with the bat. Scoring runs against Ravindra Jadeja and Mustafizur Rahman will prove to be a tough task for LSG. Therefore, we see it likely that CSK will emerge victorious in the LSG vs CSK game of the IPL 2024.
