    KXIP vs CSK Match preview, head-to-head records and pitch report

    What's the story

    Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings meet in match number 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019.

    CSK are the leaders this season with 18 points from 13 matches.

    KXIP are out of contention for the play-offs, but will want to sign off on a strong note.

    Here is the detailed match preview.

    Information

    Head-to-head meetings between the two sides

    These two teams have met each other 21 times in the past. CSK have won 13 games, while Kings XI have sealed eight victories. In the previous meeting this season, CSK won by 22 runs at the Chepauk Stadium.

    KXIP batting

    Top order of KXIP is the main focus

    KXIP have lost four successive matches and will loom to sign off on a high.

    The top order will once again hold the key for KXIP.

    KL Rahul will need to take up the mantle and perform strongly for his side.

    Mayank Agarwal will look to carry on with the momentum.

    Nicholas Pooran brings in the freshness in the middle order with his aggression.

    Information

    KXIP need a collective approach in bowling

    KXIP pacers need to support Mohammed Shami, who has been excellent this season. KXIP bowlers tend to give away easy runs and they will need to step up. R Ashwin will look to dictate the show with his spin. Murugan is an able support.

    CSK batting

    CSK will rely on MSD show

    CSK have been helped massively by their skipper MS Dhoni.

    The veteran wicket-keeper batsman has played match-winning knocks at the death for CSK.

    His presence will lift the defending champions.

    Senior stars Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja have aided the team when required.

    The focus will be on CSK's openers.

    Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis would want some runs under their belt.

    Information

    CSK's in-form bowling unit could trouble KXIP

    CSK have been the best bowling unit this season and their spinners will be of immense threat for KXIP. Imran Tahir has taken 21 wickets so far and could dictate the show in the middle overs. Pacer Deepak Chahar has been brilliant upfront.

    Info

    Pitch report, timing and TV listing

    The pitch in Mohali will support batting.

    Anything in excess of 180 will be a decent total.

    The bowlers will need to stick to their plans and try to extract the maximum.

    The match is scheduled for 4:00 PM start.

    One can watch the match live on the Star Sports Network and can stream the same on Hotstar app.
