Toss Prediction
Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings have clashed against each other in three games. Out of those games, the Lucknow skipper came on top of two toss wars, while Chennai’s former skipper MS Dhoni could only manage to win one of the tosses. However, if we talk about the upcoming game, LSG skipper KL Rahul is likely to win the toss over Ruturaj Gaikwad, considering that the match will take place in Lucknow and luck might favour the home team.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, LSG and CSK have faced each other three times in the Indian Premier League. Out of those three games, both LSG and CSK clinched victory in one game each, while one fixture ended without a result. Talking about their respective squads, LSG have a well-rounded squad with a few experienced players as well as some promising talents. Names like Nicholas Pooran, Marnus Stoinis, Quinton de Kock, and KL Rahul form a dominating lineup. On the other hand, players such as Ravi Bishnoi, Mark Wood, and Amit Mishra are some notable bowlers of the side.
Speaking of the Chennai team, while Dhoni is no longer there as a captain, his presence and constant guidance to Ruturaj Gaikwad has been proving helpful to the youngster. Not only this, they have a powerful team, consisting of names like Shivam Dube, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shardul Thakur, and a lot more. Apart from this, MS Dhoni’s cameos in a few games have proved to be helpful for the Yellow Army.
While LSG will try their best to secure a win at home, CSK recently won their first away game of the season, and they won’t like to pause the away-win streak. Considering the records of the teams, their rivalry, and their current form, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that CSK would win the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
