Lucknow Super Giants Form

After winning their first four matches, the Super Giants suffered two big losses in a row.

They scored 161/7 off their 20 overs against the Knight Riders, Nicholas Pooran top-scoring with 45 off 32 balls.

The Knight Riders raced to the win off just 15.4 overs, Mohsin Khan (2/29, econ 7.25) picking up the only two wickets to fall.

The Super Giants need to get their batting and bowling back on track to stay in contention for the playoffs.

Chennai Super Kings Form

The Super Kings bounced back from losing two matches on the bounce by winning their last two matches.

Against Mumbai, the Super Kings racked up 206/4 off their 20 overs, Ruturaj Gaikwad (69 off 40 balls) and Shivam Dube (66* off 38 balls) doing the damage with the bat.

Matheesha Pathirana (4/28, econ 7.00) knocked over three of the Mumbai top four on the way to securing the 20-run win.

Chennai Super Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Lucknow Super Giants v Chennai Super Kings

I am backing Chennai Super Kings to win. I am also backing Ruturaj Gaikwad to top score for Chennai Super Kings.

Nicholas Pooran is a good bet to top score for the Lucknow Super Giants.
