The 30th match of the IPL 2025 season is currently underway between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. CSK won the toss and elected to field first. Both teams got off to a decent start, setting the stage for an exciting contest.

Right after the powerplay, England pacer Jamie Overton was introduced into the attack. At the crease for LSG were Mitchell Marsh and skipper Rishabh Pant. On the third ball of the seventh over, the right-arm pacer delivered a length ball to the left-handed batter, who executed one of his signature shots, the reverse scoop. The 27-year-old connected with the ball perfectly, and sent the ball sailing over the third-man boundary for a six. The Australian at the crease, impressed with the stroke, responded with a smile and a fist bump to his captain.

CSK made two changes to their playing XI, bringing in Jamie Overton and Shaik Rasheed in place of Ravichandran Ashwin and Devon Conway. LSG, meanwhile, brought back Mitchell Marsh.

The CSK pace duo started strongly, with Khaleel Ahmed removing Aiden Markram, aided by a brilliant running catch from Rahul Tripathi. The young pacer Anshul Kamboj also made an impact, dismissing the dangerous Nicholas Pooran in the fourth over.

CSK, currently struggling at the bottom of the points table with five losses, are desperate for a victory. LSG, on the other hand, are on a positive momentum and are placed fourth on the 2025 IPL points table, looking to maintain their position with another win.
