Damn, Both CSK and PBKS lost their previous match, and they were so close to winning the game. Sometimes it feels so frustrating to lose in such a close encounter, right? You do everything right till the last two overs or one over, and when something goes wrong, and you are like GREAT, THIS HAD TO END LIKE THAT, DIDN’T IT?
Anyways they can’t do anything about it now, can they? So it’s time to move on to the next match. Moving on to the next match means they have to practice and improve on their mistakes in the last match while I make previews and other posts. So let them do all the practice while we start this preview. And we’ll do that by looking at the probable 11’s for both teams, shall we?
Probable 11 For CSK:
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
- Faf Du Plessis
- Moeen Ali
- Pujara
- Suresh Raina
- Dhoni (C) (WK)
- Jadeja
- Mitchel Santner
- Deepak Chahar
- Shardul Thakur
- Imran Tahir
I have made a few changes. I think CSK will give few people a chance who did not get a chance the whole season. People like Pujara or Santner. That’s why I have made a few changes.
Probable 11 For PBKS:
- KL Rahul (C) (WK)
- Mayank Agarwal
- Aiden Markram
- Chris Gayle
- Nicholas Pooran
- Shah Rukh Khan
- Moises Henricks
- Harpreet Brar
- Mohammad Shami
- Arshdeep Singh
- Ravi Bishnoi
I replaced Sarfaraz Khan with Chris Gayle because I think PBKS would want to give Gayle a chance because this be Gayle’s last IPL match also as PBKS are almost Eliminated from the playoffs race.
PBKS Chance Of Qualifying For Playoffs:
Right now, PBKS are on the verge of Elimination. If they want to qualify, they have to bash CSK and hope that even RR trash KKR. Then they have to make sure that their NRR ( Net Run Rate ) should be GREAT. But they first need to hammer CSK in their upcoming match against them for all that to happen.
Can CSK finish in the Top 2?
There is no question to be asked. CSK has already confirmed their place in the Top 2 spots of the points table. Even if RCB wins their next match and CSK loses there next match, CSK’s NRR can beat RCB in the Points table. So Congrats to CSK and DC for getting the first and second places in the points table.

Pitch Report:
As it is an afternoon game, it doesn’t matter whether you choose to bat or bowl. The Dubai pitch is mainly a pitch to chase on as it a slow pitch, which means it will help the bowlers a lot. And the match is starting at 2:00PM Dubai time. So maybe there could be a minimal amount of dew which could help you chase the target. So which ever team wins the toss should elect to bowl first.
Weather Report:
The whether in Dubai is mostly sunny according to weather reports. So no rain will be expected in todays match.
Prediction:
We pick CSK to win this match. Well, for obvious reasons, of course. They have nothing to lose because they will be in the Top 2 places of the points table even if they lose. PBKS have everything to lose in today’s game. If they lose, they are eliminated, and if they win, the win has to be by a significant margin. So the pressure of qualifying will also be running in their head. I am not saying that PBKS has no chance to beat CSK, they do have a chance, but with the pressure running inside their heads, they could make a few mistakes that can cause them the match.
