Niall O'Brien heaps praise on Wanindu Hasaranga

Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns with the Chennai Super Kings in Match 7 of IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Both teams have had a losing start to their campaign this year and will be looking to redeem themselves in the upcoming fixtures.

Lucknow had a close encounter against the Gujarat Titans in their previous game. Despite the loss they had a few positives. The likes of Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni coming good in the middle-order has now given them a lot of options and are likely to benefit more once the big names like Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder are available for selection.

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings had an off day and the new skipper Ravindra Jadeja will be expected to do a lot better in the upcoming fixture. The defending champions lost wickets at regular intervals on a tricky pitch at the Wankhede Stadium and could post 131 runs on the board only against a strong KKR side. Dwayne Bravo’s three-wicket haul and MS Dhoni’s half-century after a gap of three years were a couple of positives to be taken into the upcoming game.

Pitch Report
In the one game that has been played so far in the tournament at the Brabourne Stadium, the wicket has certainly played really well and it looked like the spinners had a little bit of assistance. However, it was a day fixture and things could be different in the evening ones where dew can be a big factor. The captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first as chasing was relatively easy in the previous game as well.
