CSK vs LSG, the 7th match of the tournament, is scheduled to be played at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST.
Team Updates:
Chennai Super Kings lost their first match of the Tata IPL 2022 against Kolkata Knight Riders by 5 wickets. They have strengthened their core, with Moeen Ali all set to join the team in the second outing at the tournament. MS Dhoni returned to the form with an unbeaten 50 in the encounter against Knight Riders. After relishing captaincy, he is looking to enjoy his game and destroy the opponents in the death overs.
LSG, too, began its campaign with a loss. Still, Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni’s half-centuries in the game against Gujarat Titans have assured them of harbouring a reliable middle order. The Giants will need KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock to perform at the top for a win against CSK.
Probable XIs:
CSK: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (C), MS Dhoni (WK), Shivam Dube, Mitchell Santner, Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne, Tushar Deshpande
LSG: KL Rahul (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Evin Lewis, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Mohsin Khan, Ayush Badoni, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
Cricreads Fantasy XI:
Quinton de Kock (WK), Lokesh Rahul (C), Robin Uthappa, Deepak Hooda, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali (VC), Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Dwayne Bravo, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan
Predicted Star-Batter:
KL Rahul missed out in the first match due to a special delivery by Shami to get him out. He will want to announce his authority in style with a solid performance against CSK to help his team earn two crucial points.
Predicted Star-Bowler:
Dushmantha Chameera, the express pace from Sri Lanka, is hard to deal with bowler due to his seething speed. He dismissed two batters in LSG’s against GT and will hope to perform even better in the 2nd match to secure a victory.
Predicted Winner:
Chennai Super Kings are the favourites to bounce back and secure their first tournament victory in the CSK vs LSG clash.
