CSK lost their last match to SRH. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, are having a missed recent form having won two matches out of last five matches. Their last match was washed out due to rain.

Iyer has scored 33 runs in 24 balls and has been dismissed 3 times. Khaleel has bowled 10 dot balls to him. Iyer has hit 2 fours and 2 sixes. His strike rate is 137.5 and average is 11.0. It's a fairly even battle, with Khaleel having the edge in dismissals.
Maxwell has scored 70 runs in 51 balls and has been dismissed 6 times. Jadeja has bowled 16 dot balls to him. Maxwell has hit 7 fours and 2 sixes. His strike rate is 137.3 and average is 11.7. Jadeja has done a good job controlling Maxwell over the years.
Dube has scored 25 runs in 18 balls and has been dismissed 2 times. Arshdeep has bowled 5 dot balls to him. Dube has hit 4 fours and no sixes. His strike rate is 138.9 and average is 12.5. It’s a fairly balanced contest, but Arshdeep has struck twice.
Shivam Dube is the best left for Chennai Super Kings now as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, and Devon Conway all out of the team. Shivam is playing really well in the middle order for CSK. He scored 50 against Mumbai and stayed not out in two matches, hitting 43* and 31*. He is strong with the bat and helps finish games. Right now, he is in great form and scoring regularly.
Noor is CSK’s best spinner this season. He has taken 14 wickets in 9 matches. Noor also picked up 2 wickets in the last game. He keeps the runs tight and bowls smartly. If he keeps going like this, he will take even more wickets.
Shreyas is an important player for Punjab. He smashed 82 runs against Hyderabad and has three fifties this season. Though he had a few low scores, he bounced back with 25* in the last match. He is good at holding the innings together.
Arshdeep Singh, retained by Punjab Kings for ₹18 crore, and he is showing why in this season. He performed well against Lucknow Super Giants, picking up three wickets for 43 runs. He has not been wicket less in his last ten innings in T20s. Arshdeep Singh has troubled Chennai’s top batter Shivam Dube, dismissing him twice in 18 balls. He is a must have in your fantasy teams
Ayush is a new face for CSK but he’s doing a great job. He made 30 and 32 in his last two games, showing calmness under pressure. He is a solid batter and can be trusted in the middle. He’s improving with each match.
Priyansh has been one of the best young batters this season. He smashed a brilliant 103 earlier and recently scored 69 against KKR. He scores quickly and gives Punjab a strong start. He’s in top form right now.
Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Musheer Khan are both substitute players listed in the impact player list and are not used yet by the teams. The chances of them making it to the playing 11 is very bleak so, you can avoid them in your Dream11 team.
