New-entrant Lucknow Super Giants and reigning champions Chennai Super Kings will face off each other in the seventh match of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday.
Both of these teams had lost their opening match of the season and both of them will look to get their maiden win of the season.
We take a look at Picks for the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, players to look out for in the upcoming match.
Lucknow Super Giants had got off to a horrid start but Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni scored fine fifties to get their team out of the woods. It was a positive for LSG that their batting was able to come good despite getting off to a poor start.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings also had a disappointing outing with the bat as they could only post 131 runs on the board against KKR. MS Dhoni played a vintage knock as scored a fine fifty to take his team to a fighting score.
Furthermore, Dwayne Bravo was at his absolute best as he scalped three wickets but there is no doubt they missed Deepak Chahar’s services. Chennai will look to come up with a collective batting performance against LSG.
Head to Head: This will be the first time when these two teams will play in the IPL.
Players to look out for: Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni, and Dwayne Bravo will hold the key for Chennai Super Kings.
KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Ravi Bishnoi, and Avesh Khan will be the crucial players for Lucknow Super Giants.
Match Prediction: Chennai Super Kings will enter the contest as favorites against Lucknow Super Giants because of their vast experience.
