LSG vs CSK, IPL 2023 Highlights: The IPL 2023 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings has been called off due to heavy rain at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Both the teams will now be sharing one point each. With incessant rain, even the minimum five overs of the CSK innings weren't possible after the home team had made 125 for seven in 19.2 overs when rain interrupted play. LSG middle-order batter Ayush Badoni's unbeaten 59 was the only bright spot in the home team's otherwise lacklustre play as CSK's Moeen Ali (2/13) and Maheesh Theekshana (2/37) impressed by making early inroads. The game began after a 15-minute delay due to wet outfield and rain returned in the final over of the first innings to halt the proceedings. (Scorecard | Points Table)
