The Chennai Super Kings had their best night of the tournament in their previous game when they defeated the Delhi Capitals in a rather one-sided contest. They were so good in this match that even MS Dhoni called it a perfect game at the awards ceremony after the match. Despite this performance, Chennai Super Kings are still very far from a place in the playoffs but they will keep their hopes high as it is still possible. A win here in this match will certainly help their cause and that’s what they’re aiming for. They moved up to eighth place after their last win, but a massive Kolkata Knight Riders win over the Mumbai Indians saw the Chennai Super Kings drop to ninth place. Given their current position, a win here could put them in sixth place, at least temporarily. Also, they would hope for some results in the next few games and when that happens, Chennai Super Kings will be back in the running. The Chennai Super Kings have found a lot of positives in their recent games. In Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad, they have an opening pair that rivals pacers and searns alike. They’ve been so good in recent games that Ravi Jadeja’s absence with the racquet wasn’t really felt. Also on the bowling front, players like Simarjeet Singh and Mukesh Chaudhary were brilliant. Together, they’ve kept the batsmen busy on the power play and the same is expected of them in this upcoming game. On paper, the Chennai Super Kings have an immaculately balanced squad, especially when the pitches slow down and their bowlers perform well. Maheesh Theekshana was an invaluable asset to their attack and with Moeen Ali starting to contribute well with the ball, Chennai Super Kings can capitalize well on the conditions. If anything, they could miss the services of Ravi Jadeja with the ball, especially since he’s been pretty good with the ball in his last two games. Injuries have really hampered Chennai Super King’s plans for the tournament but they have finally found a solid team. Overall, the Chennai Super Kings seem to have their foundations in both departments of the game. If they can continue to play to their strengths in this upcoming match, they would be an incredibly difficult side to beat, especially given the changing conditions.
This season Cadiz failed to perform in the championship, while pleased in the Spanish Cup. After the team beat Villa Fortuna (7:0), Albacete (1:0) and Gijon on penalties, the Yellow-Blues could not cope with Valencia in the quarter-finals. In the La Liga tournament the guests have seven wins and 14 peaceful outcomes after 35 rounds, which brought 35 points and 17th place in the standings. After a draw with Sevilla (1:1), the team beat Elche (3:0). Alcaraz, Andone and Aroyan will not be able to play today.
