Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings have met each other five times in the IPL. The Giants have won three of these games while the Kings have managed to win once.
The Super Giants have had a magnificent start to their campaign, winning four and losing two games. They are coming off a six-wicket win against Gujarat Titans in the last game. The opponents had a great opening stand, but Ravi Bishnoi’s two wickets were crucial in pulling things back.
Chasing 181, Aiden Markram made the most of his luck, hitting 58 runs off 31 deliveries. Pooran produced yet another blistering knock of 61 in 34 balls. Mitchell Marsh missed the previous fixture due to personal reasons. If he’s available, Rishabh Pant will have to move back to the middle order.
Possible XII: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), David Miller, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Prince Yadav.
The Super Kings are having arguably the worst period of their IPL history. They have won only one match in the season and have lost five on the trot for the first time. In their previous game, CSK took an eight-wicket hammering at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders at home.
Having been asked to bat first, CSK lost wickets regularly and couldn’t get any momentum into their innings. Shivam Dube scored 31 not out but took 29 balls for it. CSK could manage only 103 on the board. Bowlers could do little while defending such a small target.
Possible XII: Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Shaikh Rasheed, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c/wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana, Anshul Kamboj.
