Match Preview:

India is known to be a sportsman loving country, rather than a sports loving country, and there is no doubt that this contest will be talked about as a Kohli versus Dhoni contest. Then again, one must remember that the captain is only as good as his team and Chennai appear to be the better team at present.
Not only have Chennai won close games, but they have found a couple of new match winners with the bat and ball in each game. The latest round of heroics came from Rayudu, who took Chennai from a below average score to a formidable one. If that wasn’t enough, Deepak Chahar swung the fortunes their way with a beautiful display of swing bowling!
Bangalore, on the other hand, are coming on the back of a win against the hapless Delhi, thanks largely to AB de Villiers’ 39 ball unbeaten 90. Their bowling, apart from Umesh Yadav, has failed to withstand the pressure of top quality batting and that has left them exposed time and time again.
Now that all of their top order batsmen are in form, Chennai will look to milk a few easy runs against the Bangalore bowling attack. They will also be aware of the fact that on a given day, any one of Kohli, de Villiers and Quinton de Kock can win a game single handedly! The latter is yet to make a significant contribution, and Bangalore would be hoping for some fireworks from him to get their tournament up

Match Stats:

The powerplay for both teams should make for an exciting contest as the bowlers who have taken most wickets in this season’s powerplay overs would be pitted against each other – Umesh Yadav with seven wickets and Deepak Chahar with six wickets
Chennai have had six fifty plus scores from their batsmen this season and all of them have been by different players!
In Bangalore wins, AB de Villiers averages 82.85 and has scored 1740 runs at a strike rate of 177.55

Match Teams :

Chennai XI team: SR Watson, AT Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Murali Vijay, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, DJ Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Sam Billings, Karn Sharma
