IPL 2024 Match 39 | CSK vs LSG | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Chennai Super Kings will face Lucknow Super Giants in match 39 of IPL 2024. The five-time IPL champions are currently seated in the fourth spot, and LSG are just one spot after them, in the fifth. Both sides will aim for a successful outing in Chennai on Tuesday, and secure a win to probably move to an upper spot on points table. 

The batting lineup of Chennai Super Kings is quite balanced in the IPL 2024, but still, they need those fast starts from Rachin Ravindra at the top of the order, which allows the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and the captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to score runs at their own pace before the middle order pounces on the opposition. In the bowling department, apart from the wickets from Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman, the rest of the CSK bowlers have to step up for the team with consistent performances. The Super Kings would like to come back to their winning momentum by winning this clash.

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants batting lineup was struggling for quality starts in the IPL 2024, but in their previous match, the captain KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock stitched together an opening stand of 134 runs to help the team chase down a competitive total with ease against Chennai Super Kings. Although the bowling attack of LSG is missing the services of Mayank Yadav due to an injury, the likes of Yash Thakur, Mohsin Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi have managed to curtail CSK to a reasonable total in their last encounter. The Super Giants would like to continue their winning momentum.
