Two of the most explosive teams in the Indian Premier League are set to face against each other at the IS Bindra Stadium. The pitch is going to be a flat deck which means that both sets of batsmen will have another field day on it.

Kings XI Punjab

They have some really explosive hitters of the ball starting from KL Rahul to Aaron Finch and will look towards Mujeeb Zadran and Andrew Tye to lead them to victory with Ravi Ashwin using his wits against his former side. Ashwin's years with MS Dhoni will give him an advantage on how the former Indian captain thinks - and that could be a turning point. 

Chennai Super Kings

They will need to be wary of the threat that local boy Ravi Ashwin, who was with them for a long period of time. Nevertheless, Chennai have the most experienced team in the tournament along with a deep batting line-up that has helped them win matches from seemingly impossible situations.

DJ Bravo and Sam Billings have been phenomenal for them as Shane Watson has done a brilliant job as an all-rounder thus far. 

Prediction

This will be a match between MS Dhoni and his former mate Ravi Ashwin. Being under the tutelage of the great former Indian captain has given him a lot of insight on the game and the ways to outfox – and Ashwin could use to outsmart the cunning MS.
