CSK vs KXIP Dream11 Team Prediction IPL Match 56 : Preview | Last Encounter before the Play-offs

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab. We are covering CSK vs KXIP Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for IPL2018. The next match is to be played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.

Chennai Super Kings have qualified for the play-offs, but also lost their last match in a forgettable way. Punjab on the other hand also needs a win desperately. The last match before the playoffs, is all ready to test the players.

KXIP lost their last match against Mumbai Indians. They conceded 186 runs bowling first. Andrew Tye and Ravichandran Ashwin were pick of the bowler. They took 4 and 2 wickets respectively, but score still reached a bit above par. Batting again had Lokesh Rahul and Aaron Finch firing up, the former scoring a blistering 94 runs. They fell short by meer 3 runs in the end, but will be happy with the performance.

Chennai Super Kings, lost by 35 runs while chasing 162. That says a lot about how they went completely wrong while chasing. Slow start and no fire power after Dhoni, hurt them. While bowling, death bowling was again an issue. Bravo’s last over, which was also innings last over, went for 26 runs. That’s a lot when the final score is 162. While batting, Ambati Rayudu showed some sparks he has been showing consistently, but after him, there was no one who looked convincing.
