IPL 2025: Match 30, LSG vs CSK Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between LSG vs CSK?

Match Overview

Lucknow Super Giants take on a struggling Chennai Super Kings side at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday, April 14, in Match 30 of the ongoing IPL 2025.

Rishabh Pant may not be in great form with the bat, but he has led LSG commendably. After starting the tournament with two defeats from their first three matches, Lucknow is on a three-match winning streak. They defeated Gujarat Titans at home in their most recent clash by six wickets, as they chased down an 181-run target with three balls to spare. LSG would want to continue their winning streak on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Chennai Super Kings have had a horrible start to their IPL 2025 campaign. After beating Mumbai Indians in their opening fixture, CSK have gone on to lose five consecutive matches. This is the first time they have lost five matches in a row in the IPL. In the last game against Kolkata Knight Riders, MS Dhoni returned as the captain of the side. However, even the legendary cricketer couldn't inspire a turnaround as CSK suffered an eight-wicket defeat after being restricted to 103/9. The Knights needed just 10.1 overs to topple the target.
