LSG captain KL Rahul earlier won the toss and said that the home side will be bowling first against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), CSK stuck to their new opening pair of Ajinkya Rahane and Rachin Ravindra. However, Ravindra’s woes continued as he fell for a golden duck in the second over. LSG hardly ever allowed CSK to get any kind of partnership going with Ajinkya Rahane’s 36 off 24 and Moeen Ali’s 30 off 20 being CSK’s best scores outside of what Jadeja and Dhoni could do.
The frailties of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) came to the fore after two back-to-back losses and their chances of resurgence gets tough as they face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on their home turf Ekana Stadium, in an IPL 2024 match on Friday.
After two defeats, CSK got their act together and won two successive matches to get their campaign back on track, placing third in the points table. LSG understands that any misstep from here could be detrimental to their playoff chances.
In the three matches at this venue, no team has surpassed 200 runs. Additionally, LSG has successfully defended scores of 199 and 163 but failed to defend 167 against the Delhi Capitals. Despite their success in defending 160-plus totals, their top-order has struggled. LSG’s batting rate in the powerplay and the final overs is the lowest in the season. If they fail to address these issues, they will face challenges against CSK’s formidable bowling attack.
CSK’s batting concerns are less severe, with Ruturaj Gaikwad performing well at the top and an in-form Shivam Dube in the middle overs. CSK may replace a struggling Daryl Mitchell with Moeen Ali, who has a good bowling record against LSG. Mayank Yadav may return for LSG at their home ground, while CSK has brought in Richard Gleeson to replace the injured Devon Conway.
The pitch for the match is expected to be batsman-friendly, aiding the quick bowlers. CSK would rely on experienced pacers such as Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur, with Tushar Deshpande also contributing.
