The LSG vs CSK head to head shows how hard it is to defend a total in this fixture: in 8 IPL meetings since Mar 2022, chasing teams own 6 wins and teams batting first just one.
Lucknow Super Giants lead Chennai Super Kings 4-3, with one washout at Lucknow on 3 May 2023. LSG took the latest game, winning with 7 wickets to spare in Lucknow on 15 May 2026, so the series is still tight.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings stats: the chasing pattern
The average first-innings score across these games is 196, and still it has rarely been enough. CSK’s 12-run win at Chepauk on 3 Apr 2023 is the only time the team batting first has won. Their 217/7 that day is still the top total between these sides.
The other results show how chases have gone. LSG reached 211/4 in 19.3 overs at the Brabourne Stadium in the first meeting on 31 Mar 2022. On 23 Apr 2024 at Chepauk, they chased 211 and got there with 213/4, again in 19.3 overs.
Season by season, it has swung. LSG won the 2022 match and both 2024 games. CSK won in 2025, and the two 2026 games were shared, one each. For anyone looking for an LSG vs CSK pitch report, the numbers here point one way: big first-innings scores, and chasing sides that usually win.
