The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its final super weekend and the last league match will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in Pune. It will be a virtual do-or-die game for KXIP as a loss here will rule them out of the IPL 2018, but even a win will not secure their place as the result of some other games will also decide their chances to qualify for the IPL 2018 playoffs as they are having six wins under their belt after first 13 matches. Both the teams had a contrasting journey so far as CSK has already qualified for the playoffs and standing at the second position at the table, while KXIP is at the sixth in the IPL 2018 points table.
The last time these two locked horns with each other, KXIP had defeated CSK comfortably in a close encounter. However, there is no doubt about the fact that both the teams do have some surprise packages in their respective squads who can single-handedly take the game away from any opposition. Let us have a look at such players from both the teams:
1. Andrew Tye (KXIP)
The Australian bowler was already renowned for his death bowling skills before he entered the IPL. On his debut for Gujarat Lions, Tye picked up a hat-trick and completed a five-wicket haul as well. This season, playing for Punjab, he has been in an extraordinary wicket-taking form. In the 13 matches, so far Andrew Tye has managed to take 24 wickets. He is proudly holding the purple cap on his head. Remarkably in his last four matches, he has taken three four-wicket hauls. His best figures this season have been 4/16.
