LKN vs CSK: Lucknow Supergiants will be squaring off with the Chennai Super Kings in the 7th match of Indian Premier League on 31st March at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.
Lucknow Supergiants had a poor start to their IPL campaign as they lost their inaugural game against the Gujarat Titans. With stunning half-centuries from Deepak Hooda and debutant Ayush Badoni, they had set up a decent total of 158 runs on the board. However, the bowlers couldn’t preserve their mark and were beaten by 5 wickets.
On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings also had a similar start to their journey in the Indian Premier League. Their batting top order had underperformed while the former skipper MS Dhoni had played a magnificent 38-ball 50 runs knock to put up a hardly defendable target of 132 runs for the rivals. Later, Dwayne Bravo took a three-wicket haul but was not backed by other bowlers which caused them their first loss.
