Chennai Super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in the 41st match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sharjah Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

CSK’s performance this season has been pathetic to say the least. Whether it’s batting, bowling or fielding, Chennai Super Kings have been a big led down. With 3 wins in 10 games, they’re stranded at the bottom of the points table. CSK’s only chance to qualify for the playoffs is win all their remaining matches and hope for some other results to go their way. CSK face a stern challenge of Mumbai Indians ahead of them. Getting over arguably the best team of the tournament won’t be easy for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men.

Mumbai has been top notch throughout the tournament. Even in their last game, they were down and out but a tremendous fight back in the final overs helped them stretch the match to a super over. Their batting looks a real force and Mumbai is the only team whose bowling is as good as their batting. On paper Chennai might compete with Mumbai but in the ground, they’re no match to the form Mumbai is in.

CSK vs MI Toss Prediction

Toss will be crucial for the teams Sharjah is a very difficult ground to defend. However, the last few games have seen teams chasing getting the better of their opposition so captains have a difficult choice to make

Weather Report

The weather in Sharjah is expected to be warm and dry on match day.

Pitch Condition

The match will be played on the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. The pitch at the ground has got considerably slow and batting isn’t the easiest task now. The last two games on the ground have been won by teams chasing and captain winning the toss has a difficult choice to make.

Chennai Super Kings Predicted Playing 11

Dream 11 Team

Rajasthan Royals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 40th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Dubai Cricket Ground and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

As we move to the business end of the tournament, each game from now stands of utmost important. Rajasthan Royals impressive victory in the last game is evident of the fact that they’re not going down without a fight. Rajasthan hasn’t had the best tournament till now but they still can make through to the playoffs if they can win all their remaining four matches. Having said that, they need to rectify their flaws if there are to keep their hopes alive.

Sanju Samson’s form will be a major headache for Steve Smith now. Samson stated the tournament with a bang but has completely lost momentum in the last few games. The move of playing Ben Stokes at the top hasn’t worked either. Jos Buttler’s magnificent knock in the last game will bring some respite for the RR camp but overall, their batting need to put up a collective show to put a strong case. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer has been bowling exceptionally well but hasn’t got enough support from the rest of the bowlers. To win a tournament like the IPL, you need XI performing players and that’s what Rajasthan will be hoping for against Hyderabad.

Just like Rajasthan, Sunrisers too need to win all their games to cement a place in the playoffs. The problem for SRH has been their over dependence on David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. Kane Williamson hasn’t fully justified his potential so does Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg. In the bowling department, they heavily rely on Rashid Khan to get the job done. T Natarajan has been good but not good enough.

Overall, both teams are on par with each other but we expect Sunrisers Hyderbad to emerge victorious on the match day.

RR vs SRH Toss Prediction

Toss will be crucial for the teams Dubai has been a difficult wicket to chase. However, with dew being a factor too, teams have a tough decision to make.

Weather Report

The weather as usual will be dry and humid.

Pitch Condition

Throughout the tournament, Dubai has been a bat first wicket as chasing teams has found it difficult to score runs in the second innings. The last few game though have given glimpses of the pitch getting better in the second inning, probably because of the dew.

Kolkata Knight Riders take on Royal Challengers Bangalore as both teams look to cement their places in the top four. The match, at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, takes place on October 21 and the live action starts at 18:00 local time.

Kolkata start two points behind Royal Challengers Bangalore, having suffered a heavy 82-run defeat when they last met. They then lost to Mumbai Indians but bounced back to winning ways after a super over against Sunrisers Hyderabad last time out. Lockie Ferguson had been key with the ball, taking 3-15 to limit Sunrisers to 163/6. In the super over, he took two more wickets in three balls to set up a Kolkata win.

Royal Challengers also come into this match on the back of a win, as they bounced back from defeat to Kings XI Punjab. AB de Villiers smashed 55* from 22 balls to lift them to victory – recovering from 102/3 in the 14th over to reach 179/3 and a seven-wicket win with two balls to spare.

Dream 11 Team

A depleted Kings XI Punjab will look to revive itself when they take on Delhi Capitals in the 38th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

Kings XI Punjab managed to pull off two back to back wins to get their campaign back on track. While Punjab will be relaxed after their win in the last game, they must be equally concern about their performance. For Punjab, it has been a one man show. Apart from Rahul and Mayank Agarwal, Punjab has got no support whatsoever from their team. Any day that Rahul fails to score, Punjab is going to fall face down. The situation they’re in, they can’t afford to lose another match and this is where KL Rahul needs his players to lend him a helping hand.

Delhi has been exceptional this season. With 7 wins in 9 games, they’re settled at the helm of the table but they too have certain issues to deal with. The form of Prithvi Shaw is a big issue as he’s not been able to give Delhi the brisk start that’s expected of him, Ajinkya Rahane  has failed to impress in the opportunities he’ got. Same goes with Shreays Iyer who’s been hot and cold in the tournament. However, the form of Shikhar Dhawan will be a big relief. In the bowling department, the duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje has been very impressive and has got good support from the Indian spinners, Ravi Ashwin and Axar Patel.

Overall, both team looks on par in terms of skills but the problem for Punjab has been their over reliance on KL Rahul which can hurt them badly in the long run. Delhi has a definite advantage over Punjab in their next clash.

Dream 11 Team

Chennai Super Kings will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 37th  match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM local time

In the recent few games Chennai has shown signs of a team that’s getting his mojo back. After an impressive victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, they put up a great show against Delhi Capitals. Yes, a last over blip and missed fielding chances cost them the match but they were very good in the match. Their batsmen are slowly getting into their grooves with top 4 consistently getting runs for their team. Yes, MS Dhoni’s form is a concern but other players like Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja has stepped up to take the responsibility. Their pacers too have bowled decently in recent games but the spinners continue to be a major concern for them. Over the years CSK has banked on their spinner to choke the opposition in the middle over but this year, this has not been the case.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand is really struggling as a team. Their plan to open with Ben stokes hasn’t worked till now and other players like Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler seem to have lost their form after an initial onslaught. Steve Smith played a good knock against Bangalore but he need his other players to step up to the occasion. In the bowling department, apart from Jofra Archer, none looks a bowler capable enough to pick up wickets for his team. This is an issue RR need to address as soon as possible because they’re at a stage where a couple of losses will get their campaign into jeopardy.

Table-topping Mumbai Indians take on last-placed Kings XI Punjab as the 2020 Indian Premier League continues with this match in Dubai. This fixture takes place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 18 and the live action starts at 18:00 local time.

Mumbai won when these teams last met, with Rohit Sharma top-scoring as he hit 70 in a total of 191/4 in a 48-run win. They have not lost since either, winning five in a row in total to move top of the table – a position they maintained as Quinton de Kock fired them to an eight-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders last time out.

Kings XI Punjab lost five in a row in total, after their first win of the tournament, but doubled their win tally by beating Royal Challengers Bangalore last time out. KL Rahul, the tournament’s top-scorer so far, hit 61* and Mayank Agarwal – second in the batting charts – hit 45. Chris Gayle’s half-century was also key in an eight-wicket win sealed off the final ball.

Dream 11 team

Sunrisers Hyderabad will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 35th match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM local time.

With more than half the tournament done and dusted, every game from now stands of utmost importance. Sunrisers Hyderabad this season has been on the receiving end on most occasions. To be fair, they’ve not justified the skills they possess.  Individually, all the players have performed decently but as a team they’ve been fairly disappointing. Apart from Rashid Khan, every other player has lacked consistency and that has been the major cause of their downfall. Also, Hyderabad has shown that they’re prone to collapse under pressure. They haven’t won a single game chasing this season.

KKR, on the other hand have done well to win 4 out of 7 games but they’ve not hit their peak as of yet. If you look at KKR, there are too many loop holes that teams might look to exploit. For them, batting has been a major cause of concern. Also, the bowling doesn’t look that strong without Sunil Narine. Skill wise they’re on par with the best teams but their performance has been hot and cold throughout the tournament.  KKR need to be on their toes if they’re beat SRH

SRH vs KKR Toss Prediction

Toss will be crucial for the teams as the pitch at Abu Dhabi has been very difficult to bat in the second innings. Winning the toss and batting first is the most feasible option.

Weather Report

The weather as usual will be dry and humid.

Pitch Condition

The pitches in all the three venues are getting slower with each game. Batting second on that pitch can turn out to be a suicidal decision.

Dream 11 Team

Delhi Capitals will bid to maintain their pace at the top of the 2020 Indian Premier League table when they take on Chennai Super Kings. The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 17 and the live action starts at 19:30 local time.

Delhi won comfortably when these sides last met, part of their six wins in eight matches so far. The most recent of those came against Rajasthan Royals last time out, as Shikhar Dhawan hit 57 in a total of 161/7 as they won by 13 runs. That result lifted the Capitals back to the top of the IPL 2020 table.

Chennai Super Kings have been unable to capture their normal form so far, but a 20-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad last time out got them back on track at least. Shane Watson top-scored with 42 but it was some mean bowling from Sam Curran and Dwayne Bravo’s wickets that earned the Super Kings a key win.

Dream 11 Team

Rajasthan Royals will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 33rd match of the Indian Premier League. The match will be played on the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai and is scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM local time

Rajasthan’s record chase of 226 in their second league game must have send chills down the spine of all the other teams of the competition. Two back to back 200+ scores, two consecutive wins to start the tournament, Rajasthan Royals wouldn’t have imagined themselves at the 6th position in the points table halfway into the tournament. Their batting that looked a force at the start of the tournament has collapsed face down. None of their batsmen look like scoring runs. Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler have run out of gas after their initial onslaught. Steve Smith too doesn’t look his usual self. Same goes with Robin Uthappa and other batsmen to follow. Yes, Rahul Tewatiya has shown promise but Rajasthan needs runs from their top order if they’re to revive their tournament. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer has been outstanding but the rest of the bowlers have been a big led down. Now, it’s a make or break situation for Rajasthan. Either they pick themselves up; or brace themselves for an early exit from the tournament.

The way RCB has played this season; they must have surprised themselves too. Well, jokes apart but Virat Kohli will be delighted to the way RCB has stood up to the occasion. The game against Punjab, however, showed that RCB is vulnerable when put under pressure. As a skipper, Virat Kohli was completely off target against Punjab. Whether it was his decision to send Washington Sunder and Shivam Dube ahead of AB de Villiers or not bowling Sunder in the powerplay, every move he tried, backfired on him. He need to be vary of the fact that even a slightest mistake can cost you the match in this format. Overall, the team is playing and their batting looks as brutal as it could be. The only problem for Virat Kohli will be the performance of their support bowlers. Mohammed Siraj has leaked too many runs for anyone’s liking. Kohli need to fix this quickly or it could nullify all the good work done in no time. Rajasthan has a very good team and though they’re out for form, we’ll back them to pip RCB as the conditions favour them more than Virat Kohli’s men.

An interesting battle is on the cards as Mumbai Indians take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the 32nd match of The Indian Premier league.  The match will be played at Sheikh Zayed Stadium; Abu Dhabi and is scheduled to begin  at 6:00 PM local time. Find out the playing 11, follow our betting tips and place your bets at betway and bet365.

Post their loss to CSK in the opening game, Mumbai has been ruthless in their approach in the tournament. With 5 wins in 7 games, they comfortably sit at the helm of the points table, waiting for oppositions to challenge their supremacy in the league. Let me say this very clearly, Mumbai will be a hard nut to crack for any opposition. Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, all looks in prime touch. Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya have been magnificent in the limited opportunities they’ve got. In the bowling department, trio of Jasprit Bumrah, James Pattinson and Trent Boult have been the nemesis for the opposition along with Rahul Chahar who’s not let the batsmen get off their hooks in the middle overs. What more can u expect from a team?
KKR, on the other hand have been good, but there is a definite scope of improvement in their team. Shubhman Gill is scoring runs consistently but as an opener KKR need him to play big knocks which hasn’t been the case with him. Nitish Rana, Eoin Morgan, Dinesh Karthik, all have some runs under their belt but lack consistency. Moreover, they’ll be sweating over the form of Andre Russell, who’s looked completely out of touch. There are issues in their bowling too with Cummins unable to get them early breakthroughs. The Indian pace battery has been equally disappointing. With no Sunil Narine, their bowling looks as sleek as it could be. They do have the skills to turn it around but will they be able to do that against a strong Mumbai team? Let’s wait and watch!
