Preview
After winning just 2 and 3 games respectively, both the Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings would hope to finish off as the better team in the second half of the TATA IPL.
Both the sides are struggling with their playing XIs respectively and have yet to find a perfect combination for the rest of the tournament.
CSK’s last match against Mumbai Indians went their way in the final ball of the second innings.
Punjab Kings on the other hand had a forgettable game against the Delhi Capitals.
Both the sides have the best bowling attack that can take down any opposition, especially in the Powerplay overs.
In the batting department, Punjab Kings have the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal and Liam Livingstone.
Chennai Super Kings on the other hand have the experience of Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu and the youngster Ruturaj Gaikwad.
It will be interesting to see which of the two ‘Kings’ take away the match today.
