The Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants will face off in match 39 of the 2024 Indian Premier League on Tuesday afternoon. The hosts are fourth in the league standings, while the visitors are fifth. These two met just last Friday, and it was the Super Giants that emerged victorious by eight wickets and an over to spare. KL Rahul was the standout performer for the men from Lucknow on the day, scoring 82(53), which took him up to fifth place in the leading run-scorer standings. He was supported by Quinton de Kock, who added 54(43) en route to chasing down 176/6. That result took the Super Giants to eight points after seven games and a net run rate of +0.123. It also halted a two-match losing streak (Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders). Yash Thakur leads the bowling attack with eight wickets in the tournament, and he is 16th in the race for the purple cap. Despite this, LSG are the underdogs in this match. 

Meanwhile, Friday’s result denied the Chennai Super Kings a third straight victory in this competition and kept them on eight points after seven games. They lead the Super Giants due to a superior net run rate of +0.529. Ravindra Jadeja scored 57*(40) in the defeat, while Ajinkya Rahane added 36(24). Surprisingly, none of CSK’s batsmen rank in the top ten run-scorers in the competition, with Shivam Dube currently 14th with 245 runs in seven innings. With the ball, Mustafizur Rahman leads the way with 11 wickets in 24 overs, placing him fourth in the purple cap standings. Notably, CSK have played three matches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium so far in this competition, and they’ve won all three. They will be out for revenge here after Friday’s result and cannot be ruled out just yet.
