THE LOWDOWN

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

  • After being beaten for the second time this season by Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings need to utilise home advantage to maximum effect here with victory needed, which would draw them level on points with Gujarat Titans.
  • CSK will be anxiously waiting on the injury status of both Ben Stokes and Deepak Chahar ahead of this one, whilst leg-spin bowler Adam Zampa could well feature again after taking three wickets against Rajasthan.

PUNJAB KINGS

  • Punjab Kings are also coming off the back of defeat, for them it was at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants, who destroyed the Kings’ bowling attack, racking up the second highest score in IPL history batting first, 257/5.
  • A bowling unit consisting of player such as Sam Curran, Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh should not be getting hit for so many runs and a vast improvement is needed from them here.

THE PREDICTION

Chennai Super Kings are the masters of making full use of playing at home, with spinning conditions in Chepauk suiting them down to a tee. That is likely to be the case again here and the Punjab Kings batters could well be in for a very tough encounter. CSK have been the stronger side across the competition and their batters at the top of the order have shown more consistency. Therefore, back the hosts to come out on top in this one.
