    IPL 2018: Who will win the battle of the Kings?

    What's the story

    With just one win in their last 7 games, Punjab's season has seen a spectacular reversal of fortune.

    Punjab have a final chance to redeem themselves as they take on Chennai Super Kings in their last league-game of the season at Pune.

    A massive win tonight can help them qualify for the play-offs.

    Here are the head-to-head records and probable XI for this fixture.

    Head-to-head

    Past records favor Chennai Super Kings

    The two sides have met on 18 occasions with Chennai boasting a slightly better record with 10 wins under their belt, as compared to Punjab's 8 victories.

    In matches played at stadiums other than these two teams' headquarters, the head-to-head records read 4-4.

    However, Kings XI Punjab have lost five out of their six games at Pune.

    Information

    Chennai Super Kings: Probable Playing XI

    Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Sam Billings, MS Dhoni (wicket-keeper and captain), Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Lungi Ngidi.

    Information

    Kings XI Punjab: Probable Playing XI

    Lokesh Rahul (wicket-keeper), Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, Karun Nair, Manoj Tiwary, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin (captain), Andrew Tye, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohit Sharma and Ankit Rajpoot.

    Interesting face-offs

    Personal scores to settle

    Axar Patel has been the thorn in Watson's flesh in 7 matches they have faced each other.

    Watson has lost his wicket to Axar 5 times, in 29 balls while scoring 25 runs.

    Mohit and Ashwin are the two bowlers who have dismissed Rayudu the most number of times.

    Mohit has bagged Rayudu's wicket 5 times while Ashwin has dismissed him on 4 occasions.

    Chris Gayle is shy of just 6 runs to become the second overseas player (after David Warner) to slam 4,000 IPL runs. On the other hand, CSK captain MS Dhoni is 9 runs away from reaching the 4000-run landmark in the cash-rich league.
