Build up:Three wins in 7 outings vs two wins in 7 games – those are the two teams taking on each other in the 38th match of the IPL. Punjab Kings started strong but they’ve slipped ever since, losing their last two games coming into this clash. CSK, meanwhile, pulled off a heist with MS Dhoni’s last-ball four against Mumbai Indians to pick up only their second win. Both teams find themselves in a precarious situation and need to pick up wins, but that’s secondary. They need to find some consistency.
CSK’s Mukesh Choudhary bowled well the other day, giving them wickets in the powerplay. That said, they’ve upped their PP game a bit in the last few games. The batting hasn’t come together and had it not been for an MSD special the other night, CSK would still be stuck on just 2 points. Punjab need runs from their middle order. The bowlers have done well, but have not been supported enough by the batsmen.
The teams are up against each other at the Wankhede where dew has not majorly impacted the outcomes of matches. Yet, the captains that win the toss, opt to bowl and prefer to chase with a target in sight.
We’ll have more on the toss, teams, pitch etc in a bit.
