LSG vs CSK IPL 2024 Match 34: Lucknow Super Giants will host the Chennai Super Kings at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday evening at 7:30 PM IST.
With the return of Matheesha Pathirana, CSK are looking settled in the bowling department, while LSG are still searching for their best bowling combination. Meanwhile, in this post, we will try to predict the top three bowlers who will pick the most wickets in today’s LSG vs CSK IPL match.
1 – Matheesha Pathirana
| Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against Lucknow Super Giants | Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium |
| 8 Wickets in 3 matches at a strike rate of 13.48 | 2 Wickets in 1 match at a strike rate of 10.00 | 2 Wickets in 1 match at a strike rate of 10.00 |
The Sri Lankan pacer has created an impact this season whenever he is fit and playing. Matheesha Pathirana has already scalped 8 wickets in 3 matches, including a 4-fer. The right-arm pacer has played one game at the Ekana against the LSG, where he picked up 2 wickets. He is breathing fire at the moment and the LSG’s batting is struggling a bit. It could be a perfect set up for Matheesha Pathirana to unleash his skills and dismantle the home team tonight.
2 – Mustafizur Rahman
| Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against Lucknow Super Giants | Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium |
| 10 Wickets in 5 matches at a strike rate of 12.00 | 0 Wickets in 2 matches | N/A |
Mustafizur is yet to take a wicket against LSG and he is yet to play at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. However, he has been in tremendous form this season with 10 wickets in 5 matches so far. Furthermore, the surface of the Ekana will suit Mustafizur’s style of bowling as his slower cutters will get some grip off the surface and the big boundaries of the Ekana will aid his cause further.
3 – Ravi Bishnoi
| Performance in the IPL 2024 | Record against Chennai Super Kings | Record at Ekana Cricket Stadium |
| 4 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 28.00 | 6 Wickets in 6 matches at a strike rate of 20.00 | 12 Wickets in 10 matches at a strike rate of 15.75 |
Ravi Bishnoi hasn’t been able to light up the IPL 2024 yet but it could be the game where he turns the tide. He has a decent record against the CSK with 6 wickets in 6 matches. However, his numbers get even better at the Ekana as the leggie has bagged 12 wickets in 10 matches at this venue. His economy rate also improves massively here to 6.95.
