Kings XI Punjab will now travel to the MCA Stadium, Pune to take on the second placed team Chennai Super Kings. KXIP is currently sitting with 12 points from their 13 matches while Chennai is looking to seal their top-two spot. Punjab not only need to win the match but they will be needing to win it by a huge margin. Here’s how dream11 team should be for this last league match.
Venue:
MCA Stadium, Pune – Average first innings score 159
Dream Team Selection:
Wicketkeeper:
KL Rahul and MS Dhoni both are great options in the Wicketkeeper section. Both are in tremendous hitting form. However, KL Rahul has been super consistent and is the orange cap holder while MSD struggled in the last match.
Batsmen:
Ambati Rayudu is an obvious choice, he is been in an excellent form this season and is one of the frontrunners for the orange cap. Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch and Karun Nair are good options from Punjab while Suresh Raina and Sam Billings can be picked from Chennai.
All-rounders:
Four very good all-rounder choices in this match – Ravi Ashwin, Shane Watson, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo. Shane Watson is a must pick. Stoinis may be dropped to include Mujeeb while Ashwin has not been in a wicket-taking form. Axar Patel is an option too.
Bowlers:
Andrew Tye is an obvious choice from Kings XI Punjab. From CSK, there are a few good options. Pick Chahar and Ngidi who are quite cheap in cost too. Mohit Shama can also be opted for.
