CSK vs KXIP Dream11 Team Tips IPL 2020 GRAND LEAGUE Captain Picks 1 November

CSK vs KXIP Dream 11: Chennai team has been dismal in its performance this season and is the only team who does not have the chance of qualifying into the play-offs. In the last match, they registered a thrilling win against KKR. All through the season, the batting unit could not perform as per their expectation. The duo of Watson- Plessis showed promise in few matches, still faltered soon enough. While Rayudu who was unfit and missed a few games is in a good form now. The opening batsman Gaikwad has surely lifted the team’s spirits in the last few matches. Although, Jadeja and Curran are in good form, still could not get some more wins for the team. In the bowling unit, all bowlers have been average.

On the other side, the momentum of Kings XI Punjab was stopped by Rajasthan Royals in their last fixture. The team is riding on the back of the sublime performance of Gayle and Rahul. Other batsmen have contributed their parts and been a helping hand for the team wins. In the bowling unit, Shami has been impressive, while the trio of Arshdeep-Bishnoi-Murugan has been economical and a regular wicket-taker.

CSK vs KXIP Today Match Prediction

KXIP will have the most chances of winning this match. Though, KXIP will do everything to win this match and turn the favour of the points to their side. They need it badly, they surely do. KXIP are doing everything to qualify for the playoffs, last game despite Gayle scoring 99, they failed to perform with the ball. The batting performance has to be really well for Punjab to win this game. It wasn’t really well in the bowling department in the last game, but the Batting and fielding were good. The winning mantra for them will be to get as many runs on the board by the batting department. Bowling will have to be the best by Shami & boys. The CSK team may play a spoil-sport in the CSK vs KXIP Today match prediction.
