THE LOWDOWN

LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS

  • Lucknow Super Giants failed to handle a pitch offering substantial turn against Royal Challengers Bangalore, losing by 18 runs after being bowled out for just 108 chasing 127.
  • It would be no surprise to see a similarly low-scoring contest here on the same ground and the temptation may be for Lucknow to play an extra spin-bowler this time round.

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

  • Chennai Super Kings were reeling after losing narrowly and somewhat surprisingly at home to Punjab Kings in a high-scoring thriller, which means they currently sit below Lucknow on net-run-rate.
  • The pressure is on Chennai here having lost their last two matches and particularly the bowlers who have now conceded consecutive scores of just over 200.

THE PREDICTION

Should the pitch be similar to that of the one utilised in the match between Lucknow and Royal Challenger Bangalore, then the Super Giants may well struggle against a side notorious for boasting a quality plethora of spin-bowlers among their squad. The bowling has proven an issue for CSK recently, whilst the batters are putting up fairly good numbers. But it was concerning the way Lucknow fell away in their last game chasing and against the experienced CSK, this could cause problems again here, so consider backing an away victory.
