IPL 2022 | LSG vs CSK | Match 7 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

The 7th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 will see Chennai Super Kings (CSK) facing off against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on 31st March at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Both teams started their IPL 2022 campaign with setbacks. While the Super Kings lost the tournament opener against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by six wickets, the KL Rahul-led side suffered a five-wicket loss at the hands of Gujarat Titans (GT) in their debut match. 

Both teams faced the same issues in their respective opening game, which was the performance of their top-order batters. Unfortunately, both LSG and CSK were off to a terrible start in the powerplay and failed to post a competitive total at the scorecard.

Match Preview 

The onus will be more on their top order for the men in yellow, featuring Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway and Robin Uthappa. Moeen Ali being available for selection in the Playing XI will be a huge boost for the Yellow army. Also, the new CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja will be expected to do better in the upcoming clash. 

LSG, despite their defeat against the Titans, have got a few positives from it. An all-around performance from Deepak Hooda and excellent power-hitting from Ayush Badoni in the middle overs have given the Rahul-led side a lot of options to the team. 

With both sides looking for the first win in the IPL 2022, an exciting clash beckons in Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

Rohit, Virat slip further in Test rankings, Ashwin now 2nd amongst all-rounders

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and ex-captain Virat Kohli moved down to the 8th and 10th spot, respectively, in the latest ICC Test rankings for batters released on Wednesday. Rohit accumulated 754 points, while Kohli has 742 rating points to his name. Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja's stunning form in Australia's impressive Test series victory over Pakistan has helped him jump to number seven and attain his career-best rankings. The left-hand batsman leapfrogged David Warner, Rishabh Pant, Kohli and Rohit to clinch his spot. Also, England skipper Joe Root has slipped to the number four slot with 843 points, while Australia's premier batsman Steve Smith and New Zealand's Kane Williamson take up the second and third spot respectively in a list led by Marnus Labuschagne with 892 points. ICC Test ranking for bowlers: India's star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has bridged the gap with top-ranked bowler Pat Cummins, who leads the chart with 901 points. Ashwin takes the second spot with 850 points, while South African spearhead Kagiso Rabada occupies third place with 835 points, followed by India's strike-bowler Jasprit Bumrah, now at the fourth place with 830 points. ICC Test ranking for all-rounders: West Indies star all-rounder Jason Holder has been replaced by Ashwin for 2nd place with 341 points.

ICC Women's CWC 2022 | 1st Semi-Final | Invincible Australia bulldoze West Indies en-route to record 7th final

Australia registered another convincing win against the West Indies in the rain-affected first semi-final of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022 to reach a record seventh final in Wellington on Wednesday. The West Indies team suffered a crushing 157-run defeat to Australia as the Meg Lanning-led team became the first team to reach the summit clash, being unbeaten throughout the tournament. Alyssa Healy and Rachael Haynes helped Australia achieve a massive total of 305/3 in a rain-curtailed match reduced to 45 overs per side. Then, the West Indies were bundled out for 157. Healy walked away with the 'Player of the Match' title for her match-winning hundred in the first semi-final. While chasing 306, West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor (48) led the way for her team, with opener Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews scoring 34 runs each at the top-order. But they failed to get any support from others as Australian bowlers dismantled their middle-order. Dottin and Matthews provided West Indies with a steady start despite losing Rashada Williams early in the chase. Dottin started to deal in boundaries, hitting five of them, before Annabel Sutherland removed her taking a catch at long-on off Tahlia McGrath soon after Powerplay. With the asking rate increasing steadily thereon, Windies found it difficult to score. Both Matthews and Taylor put on 47 runs for the fourth-wicket partnership, whereas the former fell for 34 only. With this, their hope to qualify for the final looked distant. Taylor fought her way to 46 and got a life when Sutherland failed to grab a catch off Ashleigh Gardner. But she couldn't stay long as Alana King removed her in the 37th over. With Anisa Mohammed injured and Chinelle Henry also unavailable to bat, West Indies bundled out of the World Cup within 148. Experienced spinner Jess Jonassen bowled well to pick up two wickets, and five others picked up one wicket each for Australia. It was a scintillating stand of 216 runs between Healy and Haynes earlier in the game. The duo took on the poor Caribbean bowling attack and registered the third-highest opening stand in Australia's ODI history. While Healy took some time to set her eyes into the overcast conditions at the ground initially, Haynes has been looking more comfortably since the beginning as Australia scored just 37 runs from their opening nine-over Powerplay period. However, after the Powerplay, Healy found her groove and took Australia past the 50 in the 12th over and 100 by the end of the 20th over. At the same time, the pair both reached their respective fifties two overs later. Healy then quickly hit some lofts and sweeps to punish West Indies' bowling attack, picking up half a dozen boundaries on her way to 83 off 82 by the second drinks break. Healy smashed a maximum off a waist-high full toss from Karishma Ramharack, taking her into the 90s. While, the wicketkeeper-batter took 63 balls to reach her fifty, she took just 28 more to turn it into her maiden world cup ton. Meanwhile, Shamilia Connell (1/45) got the first breakthrough for the Windies when Healy holed out in the deep in the 33rd over. Soon Haynes was dismissed, failing to reach the three-figure mark. Later, Mooney and Lanning's cameos helped the Aussies post a massive total of 305 runs. Brief scores: Australia 305/3 in 45 overs (Alyssa Healy 129, Rachael Haynes 85, Beth Mooney 43*; Chinelle Henry 2-51) beat West Indies 148/10 in 37 overs (Stafanie Taylor 48; Jess Jonassen 2-14) by 157 runs.
