Win Today & Enter the Semis in Style

A preview of Super Kings tie against the Rajasthan Royals.

The washed out game of Delhi and Kolkata made things little easy for us. We now need a victory in 2 matches to secure a spot in the semis.

Strategy to be deployed

Drop Vidyut and pick Anirudha. Vidyut has been given a lot of opportunity and failed to impress. His fielding is also below par. The rest of the squad should be retained. Wessels also hinted in change in the 11.

Win the toss and chase. Batting is our strength. We’ve restricted the opponents fairly well, it’s the batting that has failed us.

And we need to improve fielding and above all play to win. A victory against a ’strong team’ would give us confidence.

Chennai would love to finish off with a win here rather than wait for it’s game against Hyderabad (it’s an away match). It would bring in much needed momentum for Chennai in the semis.

2 wins in the 2 matches would put in 3rd spot thereby (in all probability) playing against Punjab in the semis. Having beaten Punjab twice, would but in a better mental state and a relatively easier opponent.

Forget the Permutations and Combination, win today and arrive in Mumbai in style.
