Chennai Super Kings are currently placed fourth on the points table, having won four out of their seven matches played so far. Ruturaj Gaikwad's team is seeking revenge for their 8-wicket loss in the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants. Despite setting a target of 178 runs, powered by Ravindra Jadeja's half-century, the team had a mediocre performance with only Mustafizur Rahman and Matheesha Patel taking one wicket each. Now they are eager to bounce back.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants , who stand fourth in the points table with only a lower run rate margin than the five-time champions, are seeking to maintain their winning momentum. They clinched the victory in the previous match with the skipper's unbeaten 82 and Quinton de Kock's 54 with Nicholas Pooran's 23 finishing the match with a four.
