THE LOWDOWN
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- Rajasthan Royals have had their progress checked recently following consecutive defeats, but victory here would see them not only draw level on points with CSK, but also leapfrog them in the table due to a superior net-run-rate.
- Both of Rajasthan’s recent losses have been due to them falling slightly short in a run chase, so if they are to win the toss here, the expectation is that the Royals will bat first.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
- Three wins in a row has parachuted Chennai Super Kings to top spot in the table, with them most recently thrashing Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens by 49 runs.
- The brilliant form of Ajinkya Rahane has been a revelation for CSK and the veteran batter smashed an unbeaten 71 from just 29 balls against KKR, including 6 fours and 5 sixes.
THE PREDICTION
Rajasthan Royals have already beaten Chennai Super Kings once this season in Chepauk, but to do so again in Jaipur would be a brilliant achievement. However, CSK don’t look like slowing down anytime soon as they continue to dominate with the bat having now racked up three scores of over 215 across the tournament so far. Provided CSK’s domestic bowlers maintain their discipline and complement their spin-duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali, they may just do enough to gain revenge on Rajasthan Royals, by narrowly beating them on this occasion.
