LSG vs CSK Today’s Match Prediction

Here are some free expert tips and cricket tips for this much-anticipated encounter.

LSG has shown remarkable improvement this season. After winning just one of their first three games, they’ve turned things around with three consecutive victories and now occupy the fourth spot on the points table. Despite Rishabh Pant’s form being a concern, the batting line-up, led by Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Mitchell Marsh, has been in top gear. Fresh from their dominant win over the Gujarat Titans, LSG will be keen to extend their winning run.

CSK, however, is desperate for a turnaround. With five straight losses and just one victory in six matches, they are stuck at the bottom of the table. Their conservative approach to batting has hurt their chances in the fast-paced T20 format. MS Dhoni and his team will need to adapt quickly to have any chance of breaking their losing streak.

Based on IPL predictions, LSG seems to have the upper hand. Will CSK defy the odds and surprise us? Fans can expect a gripping contest in the evening at the Ekana Stadium, Lucknow.

Lucknow Super Giants Win Probability: 1.65

Chennai Super Kings Win Probability: 2.20

Now let’s move ahead and check how the players are expected to perform.

First Boundary Will be a 4

LSG’s openers carry an aggressive intent, whereas CSK openers too are fluent in hitting boundaries. Therefore, this is one safe bet.
BET at: 1.10

First Boundary Will be a 6

You can bet on this if LSG bats first. Because LSG openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram play with aggressive intent and are more likely to hit a six first up.
BET at: 5.70

Nicholas Pooran to Score over 29.5

Pooran is in blunt form and currently holds the Orange Cap as he has the most runs in the competition so far. Pooran hitting over 29.5 is quite a possibility in this match.
BET at: 1.85

Devon Conway to Score over 22.5

This is one high-risk bet as Devon Conway hasn’t been at his best. Despite scoring a fifty so far in three games, Conway hasn’t looked fluent, and there’s a possibility of him scoring below 22 runs.
BET at: 1.85

Rishabh Pant to Score over 20.5

The LSG skipper has been in awful form this season. His highest score this season so far has been 21, which came in the last game against GT. Therefore, betting on above 2.5 could be a risk, but if you want to bet safely, scoring below 20.5 could be a better option.
BET at: 1.85

Shivam Dube to Score over 18.5

Shivam Dube is the only bleak hope in CSK’s perishing middle-order. He hasn’t had a big score against his name so far, but looked fluent in the middle-order with a far better strike rate than other CSK batters.
BET at: 1.85

Digvesh Rathi to be the Top Bowler

Lucknow’s mystery spinner Digvesh Rathi has been quite a find of this tournament. Having scalped 8 wickets so far from 6 games, Rathi has been doing really good. You can get a return of 7.5 times if Digvesh emerges as the top bowler.
BET at: 7.50

Noor Ahmad to be the Top Bowler

Noor Ahmad is the current holder of the Purple Cap. He has the most wickets in this season, and you can get a 5 times return on this bet.
BET at: 5

Most Fours- LSG: 2.05; CSK: 1.90; Draw: 10.50
