Chennai Super Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants prediction

Following back-to-back wins including one at home to fierce rivals Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings now face opposition that they’ll be expected to beat in the form of Lucknow Super Giants. The visitors have lost seven from time this season, although they are coming off the back of having snapped a six-match losing streak with a nine-run victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a surprise result.

But it will be even tougher for them to triumph on the road, especially with CSK starting to build some much-needed momentum. The top order is starting to really click for Chennai with just two wickets lost in each of their last two games and backing them to overcome the Super Giants has to be favoured in this encounter.
