Chennai Super Kings, who have lost three out of four away games this season, are returning to their home ground, Chepauk, where they have already won three games in IPL 2024 and hope to extend their home win record. CSK has three home games in a row at Chepauk, and if they win them all, they have a good chance of making the playoffs. However, the going may not be simple as they play Lucknow Super Giants in today's IPL encounter. The KL Rahul-led Lucknow team would enter today's encounter with confidence after defeating CSK in their previous game on Friday. CSK has the most ability to control the pace of the match at home, which the LSG must exploit to break through the tough fortress.
