The Indian T20 league points table is shaping up nicely and in match number 38, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a crucial encounter at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Punjab had been absolutely smashed in the last game, having been all out for just 115 runs and losing by nine wickets with more than nine overs to spare. The concept of going into the game with six batters and five bowlers did not work out, and they will need to strengthen their batting lineup, which has been inconsistent at times. They are likely to make alterations to their starting lineup and will try to bring in Rajapaksa, who has shown early promise.
The Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, defeated Mumbai Indians in their previous game courtesy of an outstanding finale from MS Dhoni, who turned back the clock. With the addition of Dwaine Pretorius, the bowling looked to be in order, and Mukesh Choudhary was brilliant with the new ball. They are expected to use the same lineup for the upcoming match.
