Bengaluru, March 30: Indian Premier League newcomers Lucknow Super Giants and defending champions Chennai Super Kings will look to get their first points on the board in IPL 2022 when they clash at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (March 31).

Ravindra Jadeja led CSK and KL Rahul's LSG opened their IPL 2022 campaigns with defeats. While CSK lost to last year's runners up Kolkata Knight Riders in the curtain-raiser on March 26, LSG suffered a loss against fellow newcomers Gujarat Titans on March 28.

Now, both teams will look to bounce back from their defeats. Dhoni and co will be boosted by the likely availability of overseas duo Moeen Ali and Dwayne Pretorius, but Rahul's side may need to wait for the availability of Jason Holder and the arrival of Marcus Stoinis.

Even though this is their first ever meeting, LSG have some players who have performed well against CSK, while the men in yellow also have experience of playing at the venue.
