A loss against Chennai Super Kings dented our playoff hopes but our Tigers will be determined to carry forward their four-match winning streak against Punjab Kings in the IPL when the two sides face off at Qila Kotla on Saturday.
Mitchell Marsh struck a free-flowing 63 before Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav combined to hand PBKS a 17-run defeat in the last encounter between the two sides in IPL 2022.
Learnings from the loss against CSK
Our Head Coach Ricky Ponting expressed his thoughts after a tough loss to CSK but asked the team to maintain the energy in the dressing room that helped them script a comeback after a string of defeats.
Tight bowling spells from Marsh, Yadav and Bapu helped us restrict four-time champions to a par score of 167/8.
We suffered a top-order collapse but Manish Pandey and Rilee Rossouw brought us back into the game with a solid partnership. Bapu fought hard in the end, however the Super Kings claimed two vital points at Chepauk.
Players to Watch Out For:
Phil Salt
Our in-form Englishman, Phil Salt, made sure we chased down RCB’s 181 last week with a free-flowing 87. If he gets going, there’s no stopping us from leaving a similar impression on PBKS as well.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel has been a warrior this season. He has led the team with both bat and ball and has been one of our main players in IPL 2023. Expect a similar kinda show from Bapu.
Key Battles:
Ishant Sharma vs Shikhar Dhawan
The two veterans have played together for the Indian National Team for years and will be well aware of strengths and weaknesses of each other. The contest between Ishant Sharma’s ball and Shikhar Dhawan promises to be mouth-watering.
Sam Curran vs David Warner
Who doesn’t love England vs Australia? The match-up between our skipper and Sam Curran might prove crucial, as a good start from Warner might set the tone for our batting innings.
