Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Chennai to open their account for this year's IPL

Punjab lost their last game and Chennai has lost both of their games in this IPL, the game will be decided based on the team which is hungrier for a win. A game of two kings on the show who had very contrasting journeys so far in the tournament.

Chennai have a hard time in this IPL. With no wins till now and sitting at the bottom of the table, it is safe to say Jadeja's captaincy has not impressed immediately. The champions need to fight back up to the table because with more number of teams the championship can slip very fast. They are still looking for a perfect combination that is very different from the other campaigns that CSK were part of. Adam Milne can be a part of the team tomorrow if he is fit, and can provide some new bowling perspective.

Punjab had two very different games in the season. At the start, they chased down more than 200 run targets against RCB but in the very next game, they were floored by KKR and scored only 137 runs. The bowlers need to step up their game if they want to do well in the tournament. The batsmen also need to take responsibility and read the game and should play according to the situation. Lots of work needs to be done for Punjab.

Dew and toss will play a key factor again in the game like it has done in the previous two occasions at this venue. The team chasing the target will have a slight advantage in hand. With that being said, CSK will be more hungry for a win and hence will go over the line.

• CSK to win for 1.73;
• Each Team To Score Over 159.5 Runs for 1.53;
• Highest opening partnership stat - W2 for 1.91
