Preview
Chennai Super Kings will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants in the 39th match of the IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After losing to LSG in the reverse fixture a couple of days ago, CSK will be looking to get the better of them at home, to get those two valuable points in the tournament. Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants were impressive at home in the run chase against the Chennai Super Kings, which will give them the confidence to defeat them in back-to-back matches of the IPL 2024.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium have allowed the batters to play their strokes freely and score a lot of runs in the IPL 2024, which isn’t always the case at this venue. The average first-inning score here in the tournament’s history is 164, which might not prove to be enough for either CSK or LSG to defend in the upcoming contest.
Team Analysis
Chennai Super Kings
The batting lineup of Chennai Super Kings is quite balanced in the IPL 2024, but still, they need those fast starts from Rachin Ravindra at the top of the order, which allows the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and the captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to score runs at their own pace before the middle order pounces on the opposition. In the bowling side of things, apart from the wickets from Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, the rest of the CSK bowlers have to step up for the team with consistent performances.

Players injured/withdrawn: Devon Conway.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants batting lineup was struggling for quality starts in the IPL 2024, but in their previous match, the captain KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock stitched together an opening stand of 134 runs to help the team chase down a competitive total with ease against Chennai Super Kings. Although the bowling attack of LSG is missing the services of Mayank Yadav due to an injury, the likes of Yash Thakur, Mohsin Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi have managed to curtail CSK to a reasonable total in their last encounter.
