Despite the struggles of captain KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants are set to score 193 runs against Delhi Capitals in Match 3. Mark Wood, the Man of the Match, grabbed the headlines for his 5-wicket haul within 4 overs.

Topmost Picks for CSK vs LSG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Chennai Super Kings

• Ruturaj Gaikwad: Having scored a terrific 92-run inning in Game 1 of IPL 2023, Gaikwad’s form is key for CSK to get off to a good start.
• Ben Stokes: Having been roped in by the franchise with some expectations, Stokes failed to deliver on his hype as he got dismissed for only 7 runs.

Top Picks – Lucknow Super Giants

• Kyle Mayers: This batting all-rounder from West Indies steadied the sinking batting ship for LSG after making a slow star. 
• Mark Wood: There was no stopping this experienced English bowler as he took 5 wickets. Having dismissed 3 of DC’s 4 top-order batsmen.

CSK vs LSG Probable Winners:

If it wasn’t for the depleted manner in which CSK finished their batting innings in their previous game, there is no doubt that this team would’ve been the favorite to win this game. However, Mark Wood and Kyle Mayers’ individual brilliance has not only uplifted LSG’s claim but has also showcased how they can lead the respective unit. This is just why we edge in favor of LSG to beat CSK in a close contest on Monday. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants is expected to win this match.
