CSK vs LSG Dream11 Prediction: This is the round-two between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2024 and it will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. Both teams are on 8 points from seven games, with CSK sitting a place above LSG due to a superior net run-rate.
KL Rahul won the toss and chose to bowl first in the reverse fixture in Lucknow. The bowlers supported their captain’s decision with quick wickets, dismissing Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra within the first five overs.
With the score at 33/2, CSK surprised everyone by promoting Ravindra Jadeja to no. 4, and the left-hander delivered impressively. The Indian star all-rounder scored an unbeaten 57* off 40 balls, helping the reigning champions post a competitive total of 176/6 in 20 overs.

MS Dhoni scored an unbeaten 28 off 9 balls
However, reaching that total wouldn’t have been possible without MS Dhoni‘s incredible little cameo. The former Indian captain blasted his way to 28 runs off just 9 deliveries. That little innings featured two massive sixes and 3 fours.
CSK‘s hopes of defending that total were soon quashed as KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock produced an impeccable partnership, adding 134 runs for the fourth wicket. Although Rahul and de Kock were dismissed, Nicholas Pooran (23* off 12) and Marcus Stoinis (8* off 7) finished the job for LSG. That win propelled LSG to 8 points after seven matches. CSK also has the same amount of points but sits a place above the Lucknow outfit due to a better net run-rate.
CSK vs LSG Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: This is one of those pitches in India where things can change in a whisker. It is both on the slower side, while the new ball bowlers can also get something out of the deck to put batsmen under all sorts of problems.
Just like in the last match at this venue, when Kolkata Knight Riders could manage 137/9 in 20 overs, with Ravindra Jadeja producing the match-winning bowling performance, taking three wickets in four overs, while giving away just 18 runs.
Although the pitch is good for batting, batsmen still have to be on their guard for the entirety of the match.
Weather Report: Although the summer is peaking and the temperature is soaring with each passing day, there’s a respite from the excessive heat tomorrow as the conditions are likely to be cloudy in Chennai on Tuesday, with the maximum temperature touching 34°C. But the humidity level, which will be above 72%, is going to test players. Despite cloudy conditions, chances of rain are slim. So expect a full 40-over game with no disruptions from rain.
