Vulnerability is looming over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they sit at the bottom of the points table with only four points. On the other hand, with 11 points, Punjab Kings (PBKS) are looking strong, thanks to their in-form players who have delivered some standout performances so far.
From skipper Shreyas Iyer to openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, and bowler Arshdeep Singh, each player brings something unique to the table. In contrast, CSK have only a few performers to rely on, including their star bowler Noor Ahmad, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Ayush Mhatre, and last match’s debutant Dewald Brewis, who have put their best foot forward.
Pitch Report
With only one win at home this season, CSK are in desperate need of a victory today. The black soil pitch is said to offer an advantage to the spinners.
Head-to-Head
In 31 IPL matches between these two teams, CSK have won 16 times while PBKS have won 14. One match ended in a tie.
Three Fantasy Picks
Dewald Brewis (CSK)
The CSK debutant in the last match brought some hope to the team with his 42 off 25 balls. He is expected to continue in the same form today, just like he did against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
Ayush Mhatre (CSK)
The 17-year-old right-hand batter has given valuable contributions in two matches, scoring a total of 62 runs. With a strike rate of 182.35, he is expected to score runs quickly during the powerplay.
Prabhsimran Singh (PBKS)
The opener scored a brilliant 83 off 49 balls in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which was one of the highlights, although the match ended without any result. Today gives him another chance to score big against the CSK bowlers.
Fantasy XI
Ravindra Jadeja (C), MS Dhoni (WK), Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Ayush Mhatre, Shivam Dube, Noor Ahmad, Dewald Brewis, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Shreyas Iyer (VC).
