LSG vs CSK Prediction
According to Parimatch, the odds are heavily tilted towards the away tie to clinch the tie. While Chennai Super Kings have been assigned an odd of 1.66, Lucknow Super Giants have an odd of 2.22. CSK are coming to the game on the back of a two-game winning run while LSG are two games without a win.
CSK have been doing most things right in the ongoing IPL 2024. Their ability to put up big scores on the board has been an advantage that CSK would look to continue. Moreover, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube have been in extraordinary form, scoring runs at will. Iconic MS Dhoni has been able to provide the late flourish more often than not. In the bowling department, Matheesha Pathirana has been consistent, giving away fewer runs and taking wickets almost every match.
For LSG, it has been a season of hits and misses so far. They have not been able to put up runs on the board when it mattered. The KL Rahul-led team has struggled consistently with their top order, with Quinton De Kock not being able to replicate the form he is capable of. They have also been inconsistent with their bowling, giving a chance to many bowlers in the six matches but not being able to pick their best team.
