Key Players

Analysis

Chennai’s opening duo has been the standout difference for the team in the tournament. This makes Faf Du Plesis and Ruturaj Gaikwad as must-haves in one’s fantasy team, and are also bankable vice-captain choices. Additionally all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo can be backed upon for some fantasy points. From the bowling end, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar’s consistent performance can further be beneficial in fantasy.

Punjab skipper KL Rahul will be of utmost importance for the side, and should be a must in one’s fantasy team. Given that Rahul is also the wicketkeeper for the franchise it increases the chances of more fantasy points, making him an excellent captain choice. Bowlers Mohammad Shami and Ravi Bishnoi are dependable options from the bowling end.

Dafa Bet Prediction of the Game:

Head to Head- Out of the 25 matches played between these two teams, Chennai have won 16, while their opponents, Punjab have only won 8 times, clearlybeing the dominating side when these two teams meet.

Performance in the ongoing UAE leg- Chennai has undoubtedly been one of the top performing sides in the second leg and have won most of their games, excluding their last two losses.

Recent Form: The opening duo of Ruturaj-Du Plesis strengthened by CSK’s middle order could be the major difference in the two sides. Given the current form of CSK players, they definitely have an edge over their opponents.

Considering the above factors CSK clearly have a better chance of winning the game against Punjab.
