Analysis
LSG
P-6, W- 4, L- 2. Strong top six on paper. Only Markram, Pooran are roaring- will fail in this match. Marsh rested- why?. Pant and Miller are off color. Middle order is weak with badoni struggling. Rest A Samad- 61 in five matches. Average pacers led by S thakur. A Khan is very expensive. Bishnoi and Rathi are good spinners.
Overall, The top order is plucky with good openers. Middle is weak and pacers are average.
Likely to Shine- Pant, Miller, S Thakur, Rathee.
CSK
P–6, W- 1, L- 5 (in a row). The team has good players in the squad but needs a revamp. The mindset of the team has to change. Dhoni must rest. Let Curran lead. Rachin and Convay are great openers and will regain form. Dube and Shankar are the only ones scoring some runs. Why Ashwin not replaced- 12 runs, wickets in 5 matches. Replace Jadeja – 85 runs and 2 wickets in six matches. Good pace attack led by Khalil. Noor is a great spinner all alone- get one to support him. Overall, the team is capable of winning matches but needs a thorough change.
Lilley to Shine- Convay, Rachin, Noor, Khalil.
