LSG vs CSK Match Preview, IPL 2025 โ€“ Match 30

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Preview

LSG have shown great momentum in the season so far, with contributions from both top-order batters and their bowlers. A home win would further solidify their position in the top half of the points table.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • Explosive Middle-Order: Nicholas Pooran is among the top scorers of IPL 2025 and continues to play match-winning innings.

  • Bowling Unit: Mayank Yadav and Shardul Thakur offer new-ball threat, while Digvesh Singh Rathi is emerging as a reliable spinner.

  • Captaincy Call: Rishabh Pant adds composure and balance as a leader behind the stumps.

 Concern:

  • Top-Order Inconsistency: LSGโ€™s top order hasnโ€™t fired consistently and might be tested by CSKโ€™s powerplay bowlers.

LSG Predicted Playing XI:

Rishabh Pant (wk/c), Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Mayank Yadav, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Shardul Thakur, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Akash Deep
Impact Player: Yuvraj Chaudhary / Avesh Khan


Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Preview

CSK are in unfamiliar territory โ€” having lost five matches in a row. With an unstable middle order and bowlers leaking runs, MS Dhoniโ€™s side will be eager for redemption in Lucknow.

Strengths & Concerns:

  • Firepower in Top-Order: Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra are key to getting a strong start.

  • Match Winners in Bowling: Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed are among the leading wicket-takers this season.

Concerns:

  • Middle-Order Woes: Shivam Dube and Vijay Shankar havenโ€™t consistently stepped up in pressure situations.

  • Momentum: CSK need to break their losing pattern and regain confidence.

CSK Predicted Playing XI:

Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni (wk), Vijay Shankar, Sam Curran, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Mukesh Choudhary
Impact Player: Ravindra Jadeja / Kamlesh Nagarkoti
