Preview:

In match number 7 of the Indian Premier League 2022, it will be the Chennai Super Kings up against the Lucknow Super Giants. Both the teams faced a defeat in their previous matches respectively. While CSK succumbed to a loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow had a losing start to their IPL journey in their first-ever match against fellow debutants Gujarat Titans. Both sides would want to come back on the winning track.

Pitch Report:

The wicket was superb in the only match that has been played here so far. However, that was a day game and there was a bit of assistance to the spinners as well. Given that this will be an evening game, dew will be a factor and the side winning the toss would want to bowl first.

Team Analysis:

Lucknow Super Giants-

The Lucknow Super Giants had a great game to start their campaign. However, they failed to be on the winning side. Having said that, there were a lot of bright things that Lucknow could take from that game. For starters, the way Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni helped them reach a fighting score despite a poor start will be one huge plus. In addition, they were without some of their players like Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder in the first match and their inclusion is only going to strengthen the side.

Probable Playing XI-

KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder, Ayush Badoni, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan

Chennai Super Kings-

In contrast, Chennai Super Kings had a poor day in the office as they lost wickets early and even though MS Dhoni's unbeaten fifty was a huge boost, they only posted 131 in their first game against KKR. Even CSK would welcome Moeen Ali into their side who will not only give their batting further boost but could be a handy spinning option at the Brabourne Stadium.

Probable Playing XI-

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Dwayne Bravo, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Tushar Deshpande, Adam Milne

Match Prediction

Conclusion:

Chennai Super Kings are a settled unit and have the experience of playing in this competition and know what it takes to win. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are first-timers and might take a bit of time to settle in despite having great resources at their disposal. So CSK could win this game.
