Team Preview of Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings are back on the winning track after losing two matches in a row. In the last match, they showed amazing teamwork and won quite easily against Sunrisers Hyderabad, who scored 250+ in every three to four matches. The way CSK set up Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma was amazing, which is one of the best reasons why CSK won the match with 78 runs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad won the Player of the Match award for his amazing 98-run innings. His approach to building up his innings was commendable, as he did not take any risks. After they were in a comfortable position, he started raising his strike rate.
Feeling pretty good. Tough to play in such wet conditions, and to be able to win by 70-odd runs is a clinical performance. Was blessing in disguise at toss. Everything is good (injury concern?). Too hot and humid conditions. Even the last game, was there batting for 20 overs and fielding for 20 overs. Today also almost same. Wasn’t thinking about hundred. Wanted to make sure we get to 220-odd.
Gaikwad, CSK captain and POTM
Punjab Kings chased down the highest total of T20 against the Kolkata Knight Riders with an amazing batting performance, and that too in just under the 18th over. They chased 262 runs with the loss of only 2 wickets, and they even hit the most sixes, 24 in an innings.
It is going to be a do-or-die match for the Punjab Kings because they are in the 8th spot but still have a chance to qualify if they win every match from now on. The Punjab King’s bowling has not been great all season as they are giving away too many runs but the good thing about the last match was the top order Johnny Baristow who scored 108 not out alongside Shashank Singh who also scored 68 in just 28 balls.

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is known for its spin-friendly track. However, in the last few matches, the team playing here has scored more runs than they scored in the last season.
It looks a bit dry. Some aberations here, traditionally teams that have batted first have succeeded but not this season. Spinners haven’t had a significant part in this season either as has been the case previously. It looks very dry, there’s a mosaic underlay and there isn’t really a sheen that you have come to expect in this year’s IPL. Same surface that was used in that game against GT where CSK scored over 200 runs. This pitch produces the greatest degree of turn, 2.4 degrees as compared 1,8 degrees compared to the other pitches. Still think there will be some assistance for the spinners and for those who can bowl slower delivers but there’s still runs on the board. Might just want to have couple of extra overs of spin up your sleeve. There might be significant dew later in the evening.”
