Match 30 of IPL 2025 will see an exciting showdown between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Chennai Super Kings at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Set to unfold under the lights on April 14 at 7:30 PM IST.
Lucknow Super Giants have been a solid unit this season, showing promise in both departments. Their batting lineup has shown consistency while the bowlers have delivered match-winning spells.
Chennai Super Kings, known for their resilience and experience, are currently facing a challenging phase in the tournament. With a few hiccups in their recent matches, CSK will be looking to bounce back hard.
Rishabh Pant leads the Lucknow Super Giants with his signature aggression and creative flair. Following a remarkable comeback, his leadership has been instrumental in maintaining the team’s composure during high-pressure situations.
With Nicholas Pooran, David Miller, and Ayush Badoni, LSG has plenty of power hitters and good depth in the middle order, with allrounders like Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram allowing the batting to clip along with a good balance in the side. Rishabh Pant is a positive return at the top of the order.
The bowling attack is spearheaded by the fiery duo of Mayank Yadav and Avesh Khan, both of whom have stood out with their pace and precision. Spin duties are handled by the crafty Ravi Bishnoi and versatile Shahbaz Ahmed, offering variety in the middle overs.
In their last outing against Gujarat Titans on April 12, 2025, LSG chased down a competitive total of 181. GT posted 180/6 in their innings, but Lucknow responded strongly, reaching 186/4 in 19.3 overs. Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni played key roles in the successful chase. The victory by 6 wickets with 3 balls to spare will boost their confidence going into the CSK clash.
Lucknow Super Giants Squads
Rishabh Pant (c, wk), Abdul Samad, Akash Deep, Akash Singh, Avesh Khan, Ayush Badoni, Matthew Breetzke, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Himmat Singh, Shamar Joseph, Aryan Juyal, Arshin Kulkarni, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, David Miller, Nicholas Pooran, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, Shahbaz Ahmed, Manimaran Siddharth, Shardul Thakur, Mayank Yadav.
MS Dhoni continues to steer the Chennai Super Kings with his trademark calmness and sharp cricketing intellect. Even as the team navigates a transitional phase, Dhoni’s leadership instills discipline and confidence within the squad.
CSK’s lineup has the experience of Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, and Ravindra Jadeja, while Rachin Ravindra and Deepak Hooda provide flexibility and aggression at the top and in the middle of the order, but they have shown in past games they have not been able to build their starts into runs.
The bowling department features a mix of experience and youth with Matheesha Pathirana, Mukesh Choudhary, and Jamie Overton offering pace options. Spin options include Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja, giving the team depth in slow conditions. Sam Curran and Khaleel Ahmed add variety with their all-round abilities.
Chennai Super Kings had a disappointing outing in their last game against KKR on April 11. CSK could only manage 103/9 after bowling out KKR for just 82. However, KKR chased down the modest target in just 10.1 overs, finishing at 107/2. The loss by 8 wickets with 59 balls remaining exposed CSK’s current vulnerabilities in both departments.
Chennai Super Kings Squads

The pitch at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is typically on the slower side, offering ample support to spinners during the middle overs. While the new ball tends to come on to the bat reasonably well, batters must take time to settle before shifting gears. As the match wears on, the surface is likely to offer variable bounce and become progressively slower.
The weather in Lucknow is forecasted to be clear for the game with temperatures forecasted to be around 29 degrees Celsius. The humidity is expected to be moderate, and there is no threat of rain. Dew may be a factor in the second innings, particularly as the lights come on.
Historically, the pitch has seen first innings scores ranging from 150 to 170 as par. The highest total at the venue is around 195, while scores under 140 have been recorded due to the surface slowing down. Teams batting second often gain an advantage, especially if dew becomes a factor.
