Punjab wil back themselves to beat CSK

The battle in this game will be between Punjab’s big-hitters and CSK’s bowling line-up. They struggled in the death overs last game and CSK will hope to bank on their spinners to stifle Punjab.
Keep an eye on…
Mayank Agarwal: An excellent player of spin and a fine top-order batter, Mayank Agarwal can take the game deep and do it at a good rate. With the conditions expected to favour batting, Mayank’s role will be massive.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: After two ordinary knocks, Ruturaj Gaikwad will be itching to make a big impact in the tournament. The Orange cap holder from last year will be expected to do a fabulous job for CSK this season and against an ordinary bowling attack, expect him to come good.
TIP: Ruturaj Gaikwad is due a big one and has odds of 4.37 to be Chennai’s top batter.
