LSG vs CSK Match Prediction - Mar 31, 2022

It is the battle of the Super Giants vs the Super Kings in IPL 2022 as Lucknow gets ready to battle Chennai. Both of these teams lost their opening match and we now know a bit about their lineups. CSK will be very pleased to have Moeen Ali back in the lineup while LSG should play more or less the same lineup.

Unsurprisingly, all the best IPL betting sites have CSK as the favorite to win this match. With the disappointing start we saw on the opening day, could that be a mistake?

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for the LSG vs CSK IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on the 31st of March 2022.

LSG vs CSK Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG got off to a terrible start against the Gujarat Titans in its previous match but did manage to make a comeback later in the game. It ended up losing but KL Rahul was not at all bothered and was quite happy with the performance of his newer players.

We are going to assume that LSG is going to play with the same eleven in this match since no major addition to the squad has been made between matches. That means KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, and Evin Lewis will form the top-3 for the team.

This is a very strong top-order that will enjoy batting at the Brabourne Stadium. We would back all of them to score runs in their individual Over/Under betting markets.

Manish Pandey may have failed but he is still a useful player to have in the middle order and the lower-order of Hooda, Pandya, and Badoni showed that it can contribute with runs as well. This should give the top-order the freedom to play their shots and not worry about wickets.

We think LSG has a stronger batting lineup than CSK at the moment.

The problem might be with the LSG bowling. Avesh Khan looked quite pedestrian in the previous match and was also short on pace. He may find as a leading bowler tough now that he does not have Rabada + Nortje for company. Mohsin Khan was not very good and the spinners tend to struggle in Mumbai.

Maybe the bigger boundaries will allow Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Hooda, and Krunal Pandya to be more effective but their match-up against Moeen Ali is going to be crucial.

Chennai Super Kings

CSK's batting was very poor and seemed to lack any modern T20 approach as it struggled to 131 for 5 against KKR. The return of Moeen Ali to the lineup will mean that Devon Conway moves out of the playing eleven and that Robin Uthappa moves up to the opening slot.

There is no doubt that Moeen Ali is the most important player in the team right now. He can take down the spinners, smash sixes at will, and also offers an important spin-bowling option against the left-handers. Betway offers a 'To Hit A Six' betting market where we always take a punt on Moeen Ali! He is just that good at clearing the boundaries.

Don't discount the batting completely, though, as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayadu, and even Ravindra Jadeja are adept batsmen with excellent IPL records. We do think the lower order lacks power and teams can tie up CSK with spin bowling in the middle (especially if Moeen Ali is not at the crease).

Adam Milne and Tushar Deshpande took the new ball in the previous match and may do so once more. This is not really a bowling duo that most teams are going to worry about. Milne is very good, no doubt, but he seems to thrive more at the death when the batsmen are going after him.

Dwayne Bravo picked up three wickets in the previous match, proving his agelessness, but he can be quite expensive as well.

The individual cogs of this team are not very convincing and although Dhoni may be able to world his magic to make them perform beyond their abilities, there is no way we are going to bet on them as favorites in this match.

LSG vs CSK Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. Winning the toss is a massive advantage in Mumbai. All four matches played here (at the time of this writing) have been won by the chasing team. Make sure to factor that into your betting strategy.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions at Brabourne are going to be excellent for batting. We saw DC pull off a superb chase against MI in the previous match played here. The ball came on nicely to the bat and batsmen were able to clear the boundaries quite easily as well. The same may be the case in this contest.

A score of around 180-190 is the least that teams batting first should aim for.

Robin Uthappa is likely to open the batting and he was in pretty decent form in the previous match as well. He enjoys this position and we feel he could be someone to back in this match.

We did not see the best of these teams in their opening match. They have a lot of power and the conditions at the Brabourne Stadium should allow them to really set the stands alight. We expect a lot of sixes and are quite bullish about this bet.
