Just three days back, PBKS outclassed CSK by seven wickets at Chepauk, considered their fortress. CSK are placed fifth on the table with 10 points and the five-time champions will hope the change of venue would bring a change in fortune as well with just four games to go to seal their place in the knockout stage.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have seen a resurgence as they registered back-to-back wins to re-ignite their playoffs hopes.

Punjab Kings predicted XI: Prabhsimran Singh, Jonny Bairstow, Rilee Rossouw, Shashank Singh, Sam Curran (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Ashutosh Sharma, Harpreet Brar, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar

Impact Sub – Arshdeep Singh

Punjab Kings player to look out for: Harpreet Brar has only six wickets in ten games, but his economy rate has been an excellent 7.21. When PBKS faced CSK earlier in the week, Brar was the Player of the Match for his figures of 2 for 17, which included dismissing the big-hitting Shivam Dube for a first-ball duck.

Chennai Super Kings predicted XI: Ajinkya Rahane, Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Daryl Mitchell, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Shardul Thakur, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana

Impact Sub – Mukesh Choudhary

Chennai Super Kings players to look out for: CSK’s batting has become too dependent on skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and six-hitting machine Shivam Dube and the moment one of them fails, it puts the pressure on others who have not been consistent in bailing out the team.
