Poor form alert (LSG)

• Ayush Badoni has 35 runs in four innings at Ekana Stadium.

• Nicholas Pooran has 57 runs at an average of 14.25 in Lucknow with HS of 36.

• Stoinis has 13 runs at 65 SR in the last two games at Ekana Stadium.

Poor form alert (CSK)

• Akash 2 wickets in last 4 matches

• MS Dhoni has come to bat only for seven balls across four games. 

• Pathirana has 3 wicket in last 16 overs he bowled across 4 games

• Ambati Rayudu has just 83 runs this season at an average of 16.6.

Risk-Reward alert

• Despite having the best IPL season of his career, Shivam Dube can be a risky choice against Lucknow in this match.

• Lucknow is the most successful team against left handed batters this season as they have 24 dismissals against them at a strike rate of 14.67. 

• Moreover, Dube’s role is to play in the middle overs and that is the period where the highest wickets have fallen at the Ekana Stadium this season.

• However, Dube still can be a worth keeping in the XI considering his good record against Bishnoi, the premier spinner of Lucknow and of course his good run of form this season.

• Krunal Pandya too has been quiet for the last few games, taking only two wickets in the last three games. 

• Chennai has an average of 66 against left arm spinners with only one dismissal so far.

• However, Krunal becomes a lethal option at the Ekana Stadium where he has taken each of his wickets (6) this season. 

• He will be worth taking a risk if Lucknow bowls first where he has five of his six wickets this season.

LKN vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: Base fantasy team safe + medium risk (irrespective of toss)

Spots left: 3

Highest ownerships from outside base team: Rahane, Dube, Krunal, Stoinis, Dhoni, Pooran

Dube vs Rahane

• Rahane against spin on the Ekana wicket is not a good idea. In addition, openers do not give away their wicket easily in the beginning and Dhoni might send Dube at three after the powerplay. 

• Dube has been in great form lately and will play a crucial role during the middle overs where wickets have fallen like bunches in the Ekana Stadium. Moreover, Dube has a good record against LKN’s premier spinner Bishnoi. 

Stoinis vs Krunal

• Stoinis has been very poor in all the five innings he played at the Ekana Stadium. He has scored 50 off 54 balls in total and has a HS of 15.

• Krunal Pandya has been quiet in the recent games, taking just two wickets in 3 games. However, he will be worth taking a risk at Ekana where he has taken each of his six wickets this season..

Dhoni vs Pooran

• Dhoni does not come early to face many balls but make sure he makes his presence felt in the numbers of deliveries he faces in the death overs.

• Nicholas Pooran has an average of around 14 in Ekana Stadium this season. He will be a risky choice despite being one of the first names in most of the XIs.

Other picks in order: Theekshana (3 teams at least), Pooran (2 teams), Rahane (3 teams if CHE bat first), Stoinis (3 teams at least), Pathirana (if CHE bowl second in 3 teams), Mishra (in 3 teams), Gowtham (in 2 teams)

One major differential pick: Akash Singh (if CSK bowls second in 2 teams), Thakur (if LKN bowls second in 3 teams), Badoni (in 2 teams in LKN bat first) 

LKN vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: Who will win the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings?

CSK are expected to win this match as the track at Lucknow will suit their spinners and their batters are pretty adept at playing on such surfaces as well. Lucknow, on the other hand, suffered an embarrasing loss at the hands of RCB at home in the last match.
