CSK vs LSG match preview

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns in the 39th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the encounter.

The Super Kings are hanging in the middle of the table with 8 points and a net run rate of +0.529 thanks to wins in 4 out of 7 matches. The Super Giants, on the other hand, have 8 points to their name and will be looking to break into the top 4.

CSK and LSG have faced each other 4 times since their first meeting back in 2022. LSG are leading their opponents 2-1 while 1 match last year was called off due to rain.

The CSK vs LSG prediction is going to be an exciting one. LSG will be high on confidence after beating the Super Kings, but winning in Chennai may not be easy for them.

Chennai Super Kings

The Super Kings began their journey with 3 wins on the trot, but have lost their way to some extent. Having lost 3 out of their last 4 matches, the 5-time champions have looked a little off colour. They will go into the match after losing to the Super Giants by 8 wickets at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

Ravindra Jadeja was their standout performer with the bat after he scored an unbeaten 57. MS Dhoni also did not let his fans down as he smashed an unbeaten 28 off 9 balls, including a 101-metre six off Yash Thakur in the last over.

The CSK vs LSG prediction will depend on how the Super Kings turn their fortunes around after losing in Lucknow.

Chennai Super Kings Possible 11: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mustafizur Rahman, Matheesha Pathirana

Who is the Owner of CSK in IPL?

Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold in the tournament. The absence of Mayank Yadav, who has bowled the fastest ball of IPL 2024, has affected them to some extent. But LSG showed a lot of character after they beat CSK in their previous game.

Krunal Pandya was their standout bowler after he finished with impressive figures of 3-0-16-2. Thereafter, KL Rahul scored 82 runs off 53 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes to take his team past the finish line. Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran also looked settled in the middle.

The outcome of the CSK vs LSG prediction will depend on how the Super Giants carry their momentum from the win in their last game.

Lucknow Super Giants Possible 11: Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c & wk), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Matt Henry, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan, Yash Thakur
