Fantasy Cricket Tips for CSK vs LSG: The oldies Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will meet the newbies Lucknow Super Giants for the 7th match of IPL 2022, on Thursday at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.
Both sides are coming off disappointing results in their opening game of IPL 2022. The Super Kings lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in a one-sided contest in the opening match of IPL 2022, managing a below-par total of 131 that KKR hauled with 6 wickets in hand. The Super Giants though had a closer game against Gujarat Titans: they put up 158 which the Titans gunned down with only 2 balls to spare.
As both the teams look to get their first points, here we bring you the fantasy cricket tips for this exciting clash:
Venue: Brabourne Stadium
Only one game, between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals, has been played so far here this season, in that the Capitals chased down 178 with 10 balls to spare. So expect a good batting-friendly surface, especially in the effect of dew; spinners also did well with Kuldeep Yadav taking three and Murugan Ashwin snapping a brace.
Fantasy cricket tips for CSK vs LSG
As far as the player availability goes, CSK are bolstered by the addition of Moeen Ali, who missed the first match due to being in quarantine after arriving late. The England all-rounder will replace either Devon Conway or Mitchell Santner in the eleven. Deepak Chahar, though, remains unfit and CSK will continue to miss his all-round presence.
CSK predicted XI:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali, Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja (c), MS Dhoni (wk), Shivam Dube, Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne, Tushar Deshpande
Lucknow, on the other hand, will continue to not be at their full strength squad again as all-rounder Marcus Stonis is currently in Pakistan for limited-overs series, while West Indian Jason Holder will be availble from next game. There’s no news on the availability of Andrew Tye, the replacement of Mark Wood, for this game.
LSG are expected to stick to the eleven that played against Gujarat Titans. Their top order was blown away by some high-quality pace bowling and their bowlers did well to keep them alive till the last over. All-rounder Krishnappa Gowtham, though, could come into the eleven, replacing Mohsin Khan.
LSG predicted XI:
KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Evin Lewis, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Krishnappa Gowtham, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan
Fantasy cricket tips:
Moeen Ali will your safe captain; he will bat in the top order and will also bowl given Titans have plenty of left-handers in their side. Krunal Pandya, too, has a strong record against CSK batters: Robin Uthappa- two dismissals, Ambati Rayudu-two dismissals, Ravindra Jadeja-two dismissals and 17 off 24 against Dhoni (no dismissal).
If Gowtham plays, he could be given the new ball against the likes of Conway and Moeen. KL Rahul likes to hammer runs vs CSK: average of 43, strike rate of 141.
Based on the above fantasy cricket tips, this is the best CSK-LSG team on Dream XI:
Wicket-keeper: KL Rahul (vc), Quinton de Kock
Batsman: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Evin Lewis, Robin Uthappa
All-rounder: Moeen Ali (C), Krunal Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja
Bowler: Dwayne Bravo, Dushmantha Chameera, Avesh Khan
