Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings are playing the 18th match in the current Dream 11 Indian Premier League tournament on Sunday. Both the teams played four games in the tournament already. Unfortunately, they only tasted success in one game. With 2 points each, they are struggling to keep up to the expectations. Comparatively, Kings XI Punjab will be the favorites in this game as the team lost their matches with fewer margins. The crucial players of the team are in good form. But, Chennai Super Kings need to make some vital changes to the team to bring themselves back.
So far, both the teams played 21 games in the Indian Premier League. In these, Chennai Super Kings won 12 games while Kings XI Punjab won 9 matches. On paper, Chennai Super Kings look strong, but it is different in the current season. The team is always struggling to give a tough fight to the rivals in the field. MS Dhoni also received a lot of trolls in his last game for not be able to keep up his energy until the end. It is a must-win game for CSK as the fans already started worrying about losing hopes on the trophy this year.
Chennai certainly looks weak for the match as the team’s bowling is not aligned with the expectations. No star bowler could take wickets in the crucial death overs. Also, the batting is not very significant. The team should make changes to their batting order to bring some sparkles in the middle. Kings XI Punjab should handle the pressure well while chasing or defending a big score.
The game takes place at Dubai International Stadium. The game begins at 7.30 PM IST.
