It’s a top of the table clash in the 2014 IPL as Chennai Super Kings travel to take on Kings XI Punjab in what should be a close encounter.
Chennai are in better form having not lost since the start of the season, whilst Kings XI threw away their unbeaten record to Mumbai Indians in their last outing.
The hosts are not actually playing their home matches at their own ground and this could affect their form now the tournament has returned to India from the UAE.
They do however have the best batting lineup in IPL 7 currently with Glenn Maxwell, David Miller and captain George Bailey all having impressed at the crease.
This is well supported by Wriddhiman Saha, who scored 59 against Mumbai, and opener Virender Sehwag can also provide a decent knock when required.
Their bowling attack of Sandeep Sharma, Lakshmipathy Balaji and Mitchell Johnson ensure that Kings XI have a good all round setup, although facing the Super Kings top order will be a real test.
Openers Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum have both been good, whilst a middle order of skipper MS Dhoni, Faf du Plessis and Suresh Raina can also score plenty of runs.
