THE LOWDOWN
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
- Confidence within the Chennai Super Kings camp will be extremely high following their victory over long-time rivals Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium this past weekend.
- It was the first time CSK had batted second in the 2023 IPL and they did so emphatically, Ajinkya Rahane scoring 61 from 27 balls and giving captain MS Dhoni something to think about selection-wise with Moeen Ali set to be available again following a bout of food poisoning.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- As it stands, Rajasthan Royals boasts an identical win-loss record to that of Chennai Super Kings after comprehensively defeating Delhi Capitals by 57 runs in Guwahati last time out.
- Jos Buttler continues to be their shining star at the top of the order and his 79 runs laid the foundations for an eventual winning score of 199/4 batting first.
THE PREDICTION
Once again, the Chennai fans will descend upon Chepauk in their droves to watch their heroes in yellow, who put on a show for them last time CSK played at home in their win over Lucknow Super Giants. Rajasthan Royals will pose a significant threat, particularly up top with the bat through Buttler, whilst the likes of Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal both offer class and control with the ball. But CSK’s skill when it comes to playing in home conditions should prove vital and their strength-in-depth down the order is expected to serve them well, so back a narrow victory here for the hosts.
