Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Predictions

The Super Giants have won three and lost three, leaving them just off the playoff places. The Super Kings are up in third place after winning four of their six matches, including the last two in a row.

Chennai Super Kings’ Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored 46, 26, 67* & 69 runs in his last five innings.
Chennai Super Kings’ Shivam Dube has scored 51, 45, 28 & 66* in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has scored 42, 40*, 32* & 45 in his last 5 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Quinton de Kock has scored 54 & 81 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The teams have met three times before, both sides winning one match with the other match ending in a no result.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

After winning their first four matches, the Super Giants suffered two big losses in a row.

They scored 161/7 off their 20 overs against the Knight Riders, Nicholas Pooran top-scoring with 45 off 32 balls.

The Knight Riders raced to the win off just 15.4 overs, Mohsin Khan (2/29, econ 7.25) picking up the only two wickets to fall.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants need to get their batting and bowling back on track to stay in contention for the playoffs.

Chennai Super Kings Form

The Super Kings bounced back from losing two matches on the bounce by winning their last two matches.

Against Mumbai, the Super Kings racked up 206/4 off their 20 overs, Ruturaj Gaikwad (69 off 40 balls) and Shivam Dube (66* off 38 balls) doing the damage with the bat.

Matheesha Pathirana (4/28, econ 7.00) knocked over three of the Mumbai top four on the way to securing the 20-run win.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

Chennai Super Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Chennai Super Kings

I am backing Chennai Super Kings to win. I am also backing Ruturaj Gaikwad to top score for Chennai Super Kings.

Nicholas Pooran is a good bet to top score for the Lucknow Super Giants.
