Info: 

• KL Rahul is a big game player and even though he has not been in great form, can be backed to top score for LSG. One of the reasons why we are backing Rahul is that he can be very handy against CSK spinners in the middle overs and play through the innings. Shamar Joseph had a bad debut against DC and will be eyeing a strong return. He has pace and variations to trouble CSK so he is our pick for top bowler.
• For CSK, Shivam Dube has been on a six hitting spree. He has already hit 15 sixes this season. Back him to hit more than 1.5 sixes in the match. Matheesha Pathirana is fresh from a four wicket haul against MI. Pathirana is a good pick for CSK top bowler.
• The wicket in Lucknow has been slow and scoring boundaries has been tough. The total fours in the match should be less than 30.5 while total sixes should be over 12.5..

Toss Predictions: 

Ekana Stadium is not a very easy ground to chase and most captains have preferred to bat here and post a score of around 170-180.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

The temperature will range between 41 and 26 degrees. The humidity will be 27 per cent and the wind speed will be 27 kmph.

Pitch Report: 

The pitch at the Ekana Stadium is slightly on the slower side. The ball does not come on nicely and batters often struggle for timing. A score of around 170-180 is slightly above par here.

Team NEWS: 

LSG Team News: 

LSG are unlikely to make any changes to their combination. Mayank Yadav, who missed the last game due to injury, has returned to bowling but we doubt the team would rush him back to the playing XI. 

CSK Team News: 

The conditions in Lucknow will be very similar to what CSK get in Chennai so we see no changes in the CSK playing XI for the upcoming clash.

Winning Chances: 

CSK are favourites to win for us. CSK are a far better side, with batters and bowlers in great form. There seem to be no loophole in the Men in Yellow at the moment. LSG, on the other hand, have struggled because of the form of their batters as only Nicholas Pooran has been able to get runs consistently. For us, CSK are clear favourites.

Lucknow Super Giants a 100% chance to win this match

Key Players: 

Lucknow Super Giants 

KL Rahul 

KL Rahul has not been at his best so far in IPL 2024. He has scored 204 runs at a strike rate of 138 but the consistency which we are used to seeing from Rahul is missing. He has just scored one fifty so far. Against CSK, Rahul will need to be at his best if LSG have to pull off a win.

Nicholas Pooran 

Pooran has been magnificent and played a significant role in LSG’s wins. He has scored 223 runs as a strike rate of 161. Coming down the order, the batter has struck lusty blows and helped LSG reach a decent total. Pooran has stayed not out in three out of the six innings.

Krunal Pandya 

Krunal Pandya is valuable for LSG given his all-round skills. He hasn’t yet delivered a match winning performance but he has played the supporting role well. If required, he can be asked to bat up the order. Also, conditions in Lucknow will suit his style of bowling.

Shamar Joseph 

Shamar Joseph had a poor debut for LSG but he is a top bowler and will be eyeing a strong return against CSK. He has all the ingredients to become a match winner for his side.

LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

M Siddharth, Arshad Khan, Amit Mishra, K Gowtham, P Mankad 

Since the match is being played in Lucknow, M Siddharth has the greatest odds of getting picked as impact player. If LSG want to strengthen their batting, P Mankad can get a chance.

Chennai Super Kings 

Ruturaj Gaikwad 

Gaikwad has finally picked momentum after a slow start to IPL 2024. He played a magnificent innings of 69 against MI. This was his second fifty of the tournament and he now has 224 runs to his name.

Shivam Dube 

Shivam Dube continued his magnificent form and blasted 66 vs MI.  He is the leading run scorer for CSK, with 242 runs to his name and will hold the key against LSG.

Ravindra Jadeja 

Jadeja will enjoy the conditions of Lucknow. The pitch tends to offer help to the spinners and Jadeja becomes far more dangerous on such wickets. Even though he has not scored many runs, he is more than capable to win a game with just his bowling.

Matheesha Pathirana 

Making a return from injury, Matheesha Pathirana made an immediate impact and bagged a four wicket haul against MI. He has been magnificent, taking eight wickets in three matches for CSK.

CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Matheesha Pathirana, Nishant Sandhu, Mitchell Santner, Moeen Ali, Shaik Rasheed 

Pathirana will be the impact player for CSK, no doubt about it. He has been a great addition to the CSK and more often than not lived up to the expectations this season.

Team Forms: 

LSG Team Form: 

LSG have blown hot and cold so far. The team has played six matches, winning three and losing as many.

CSK Team Form: 

CSK have played six games, winning four and suffering defeats in two matches.
