LSG vs CSK Probable Winners:

Despite being the underdogs, the Lucknow Super Giants have had a successful season. However, their main issue is that they rely too heavily on Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran to save them with the bat. Nonetheless, they'll be up against a Chennai Super Kings team that has appeared flat. Losing Ruturaj Gaikwad for the entire season has only exacerbated CSK's problems. Unless the bowlers come up with an extraordinary performance and keep LSG to a low total, Lucknow appears to be in control of this game. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants is expected to win this match.
