Match No. 67 of the Indian Playerzpot League will see the Delhi team go head-to-head against the Chennai team. With the qualification of the knockout stages on the line, the pressure is on MS. Dhoni and Chennai to deliver. Delhi are salvaging what they can after a torrid season and playing a spoiler in Chennai’s qualification race would make things spicy for the whole tournament.
Chennai might be sitting tall in the No.2 position of the table standings but all can go downhill if they fail to get the 2 points in the game against Delhi. The likes of Lucknow, Mumbai, Rajasthan, and Bangalore are all in the race to qualify for the playoff and they will be hoping for a slipup from Chennai. This will be the last stage of league fixtures and therefore we can expect a high-voltage drama cricketing action.
Players to watch out for
T. Deshpande (Chennai)
T. Deshpande has been in exceptional form for Chennai this season, known for his tenacity and hardwork the young pacer has been one of the key findings of the tournament. A few eyebrows were raised when he initially took on the responsibility of the pace bowling attack but now it seems like he was destined to do so. With a total of 19 wickets so far in the competition, he has certainly made quite an impact and will certainly look to carry his team to the next challenge.
D. Conway (Chennai)
The big gun from Chennai has been firing blanks in the last few games and considering how he did approach the games in the middle of the league stage games a comeback has to be on the cards. The power-hitting opener has been a key player for Chennai in terms of providing them with a strong start. His exploits have been noteworthy, especially the one against Bangalore where he struck 83 runs. With 498 runs he sits in 5th place in the Orange cap race hoping to add more to his tally.
M. Pathirana (Chennai)
The Sri Lankan pace bowlers is another gem that Chennai has produced this season. Known for his unorthodox sidearm action, the pacer has been providing the goods whenever he has been called upon. In just 9 games he has racked up 13 wickets which indeed is an achievement for the youngster. Moreover, he has now taken the role of death bowler bowling crucial overs. Chennai will need him to fire on all cylinders in what is a do-or-die game.
P. Shaw (Delhi)
It has been no secrete that Delhi and P. Shaw have struggled this season. The young Indian batter has time and again fluffed his chances to make a mark in the league stages this season. It was as if the whole season would go to waste but he did pounce back. In the game against Punjab, he did smash 54 runs and it was in a winning cause. However, this stride and flow in his bat did come late but he can do heavy damage if he wants to Chennai. For a player like Shaw, he needs a start which he has now, it will be interesting to see his approach against Chennai.
