Punjab were doing good in the early part of the tournament and now seems to lose the steam. They are now in a tough spot and need to win every game to win a spot in the playoffs. Their batting which was supposed to be their strength has not clicked in the earlier parts of the tournament. With Jonny Bairstow only having 41 runs in 4 games and Liam Livingstone being the only consistent run-getter, they have to figure out a way into the tournament. Their bowling contrarily has been very decent and Punjab fans will be looking for more of the same going into the end of the season.
Punjab Kings Predicted Lineup
Mayank Agarwal (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora
Chennai Super Kings
Coming into the tournament as defending champions, Chennai have disappointed a lot of people throughout the season. With only two wins in seven games, their season looks done and dusted. With them having no added pressure of qualifying they can play their game with absolute freedom. The bowling form of Chennai has improved a lot in the last three games and they will be betting on that to guide them home.
Chennai Super Kings Predicted Lineup
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Mitchell Santner/Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja (C), MS Dhoni (wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary
Expert betting tips
Win the toss and field has been a go-to mantra in this IPL at Wankhede. The last time these two sides met in this year's IPL, Punjab came on top. With the momentum on Chennai's side and less pressure than Punjab to win the game, we are expecting Chennai to win the tie. We are also expecting a score in excess of 170 in both the innings.
