Punjab KingsChennai Super KingsWith 2 consecutive wins against the top teams like KKR and CSK, Punjab Kings are getting back on track with a slow pace. They defeated Chennai Super Kings in the previous fixture and the onus goes to the whole team.
At the start, the bowlers kept good control over the opposition’s run rate. Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar picked up 2 wickets each at an economy of 4.25 and 4 respectively. Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh contributed with a single wicket each at an economy of 5.75 and 13 respectively.
On the batting front, Prabhsimran Singh (13 off 10) was gone early but Jonny Bairstow kept things going and scored 46 off 30 at a strike rate of 153.33. Rilee Rossouw had a good partnership with Bairstow at the start and scored 43 off 23 at a strike rate of 186.63. Shashank Singh (25 off 26) and Sam Curran (26 off 20) were calm and composed in the middle order to complete the chase in the 18th over.
Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his shoulder injury but there is no confirmation of him being part of the Sunday fixture yet.
Predicted Lineup: Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran (c), Rilee Rossouw, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh. Impact Sub: Prabhsimran Singh
Chennai Super Kings witnessed a loss on their home ground and the team will be devastated by that. They need to recover and regroup for the Sunday fixture and bounce back in the league.
Against PBKS, Chennai Super Kings batter started on a good note with Ajinkya Rahane scoring 29 off 24 and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad scoring 62 off 48 at a strike rate of 129.17. The middle order was not of much success. They failed to contributed to the overall score and Chennai was unable to reach a big score in the match.
The bowlers of Chennai Super Kings also struggled to perform at their best. Their primary bowlers showcased higher economy and were unable to scalp wickets at the right time. Shardul Thakur, Richard Gleeson, and Shivam Dube picked up a single wicket each at an economy of 13.09, 7.83, and 14 respectively.
Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Mustafizur Rahman are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Shardul Thakur, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Mustafizur Rahman, Moeen Ali, Richard Gleeson
We are in for an absolute thriller as both teams are in desperate need for a win. Defeating CSK on their home ground, PBKS will be high on confidence.
However, their batters have been inconsistent and the absence of Shikhar Dhawan has somewhere disturbed the batting lineup. CSK is a much more balanced team with a good depth in their batting unit. We predict a win for Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
