A desperate-looking Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) return to the comfort of their home to take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 34th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season 17. Lucknow haven't had the best of times recently and are on a two-game losing streak after defeats against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
On the other hand, CSK, contrary to Lucknow, are riding a two-match winning momentum. Chennai defeated Kolkata Knight Riders at home and also got the better of Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous clash by 20 runs.
Lucknow's confidence took a massive hit after they failed to defend a 160-plus total for the first time in their IPL history and tasted a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals while playing at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG's itinerary didn't help either as they had to quickly pack their bags and leave for Kolkata to take on KKR after a day's gap. The loss to Delhi and the fatigue was on display in the game against Kolkata and the KL Rahul-led side suffered an eight-wicket loss. Therefore, they will hope to make a quick turnaround before it's too late.
