Chennai Super Kings take on Kings XI Punjab on Sunday at Sharjah.
Both Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab are standing at the bottom of the table with three defeats and a win each in IPL 2020.
Especially, Chennai is facing the worst phase in the history of IPL with their top order not been able to give their best in the season.
In 2009, the yellow men had faced the same situation witnessing three defeats in a row in their first four encounters.
However, they fought back and reached the semi-finals, but defeated again by Royal Challengers Bangalore in Johannesburg.Chennai fans are hoping such a miracle this time, but the top-order batsmen have to perform well to sustain their hopes.
On the other side, though KXIP has the highest run-getters like KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal and the best wicket-taker like Mohammed Shami, the Punjab Kings have consistently faced unexpected defeats in the four games.They seem to bounce back with this game against CSK to keep their hopes on remaining games.
Considering the loopholes in CSK’s batting line-up, KXIP has an edge to win the 18th match in IPL 2020 and push themselves two-three places up in the points table.
