Match 45 between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was planned for Thursday, 4 May 2023, according to the IPL 2023 Schedule. However, due to the Lucknow Municipal Corporation election, the LSK vs CSK Match 45 will be played on Wednesday, May 3 instead of Thursday, May 4.
Thursday doubleheader matches were scheduled for 20 April and 4 May in the IPL 2023. Due to local elections in the North Indian city of Lucknow, only one doubleheader out of two will be played on Thursday, 20 April 2023.

Members of the local organizing committee and franchise sources indicated that the decision to move the game’s start time forward by a day was taken with concerns with security deployment in mind.
