Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns against Chennai Super Kings in the 34th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday. With almost half of the league stage done, it is crucial for both teams to be consistent in their performances.
LSG has drifted away as they have lost their last two matches. The KL Rahul-led team hasn’t put enough runs on the board and it has led to their shortcoming.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings have ticked the right boxes as a unit and they will look to continue the good show. Shivam Dube has been in amazing form and the left-hander has certainly put his hat in the ring for the T20 World Cup selection.
Stats Preview:
Out-of-form Devdutt Padikkal needs eight sixes to complete 50 sixes in the IPL.
Nicholas Pooran needs seven runs to reach the 1500-run mark in the IPL.
Krunal Pandya needs 10 fours to complete 150 boundaries in the tournament.
CSK former skipper MS Dhoni needs five more sixes to become the fourth batter after Chris Gayle, Rohit Sharma, and AB de Villiers to hit 250 or more sixes in the IPL.
Shivam Dube needs a dozen sixes to complete 100 maximums in the IPL.
