Match 30 in the 2025 Indian Premier League will see the Lucknow Super Giants taking on the Chennai Super Kings at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday. LSG are third in the standings, while CSK are ninth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Lucknow Super Giants have been impressive this year and moved into the knockout qualification zone on Saturday with an impressive six-wicket victory over the Gujarat Titans.
Nicholas Pooran once again looked in stunning form and led the chase with 61 runs in just 34 balls, while Aiden Markram added 58 runs in 31 deliveries.
Pooran remains the current orange cap holder with 349 runs in six matches, 20 runs clear of Sai Sudharsan, while Shardul Thakur is second in the race for the purple cap with 11 wickets.
The Chennai Super Kings have made a terrible start to this season’s IPL, losing five of their first six games, with the most recent being an eight-wicket loss to KKR on Friday.
As has been the case for the majority of the season, CSK’s batting lineup collapsed, posting a target of just 103/9 in their 20 overs, which the Knight Riders chased down in 10.1 overs.
However, the Super Kings’ biggest positive this season has been the performance of Noor Ahmad, who is the current purple cap holder with 12 wickets to date.

Our Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Prediction
CSK have endured a very tough start to this season’s IPL, and with the performances they’ve delivered, you simply cannot back the men in yellow just yet.
LSG are starting to look like genuine contenders with their top order, particularly Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh in sensational form, currently sat in first and third respectively in the orange cap standings. We fancy the West Indian to deliver another solid knock in this one. Our Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings prediction is Nicholas Pooran over 25.5 runs.
