Fantasy Tips of The Day
All three half-centuries from Shivam Dube in the tournament have come away from Chennai. In these contests, he hammered 201 runs (16 sixes) at 40.
David Warner is the top run-scorer at the venue this season, with 221 of his 430 runs coming here. In addition, he hasn’t had much trouble facing the Chennai bowlers: 693 runs at 36 including the top score of 135*.
Anrich Nortje has never gone wicketless against Chennai, picking up nine wickets in five matches.
Philip Salt has enjoyed batting in Delhi where he has scored 172 runs at an average of 43, while generating bonus points for boundary every third delivery.
Ajinkya Rahane has opposition and venue stats in his favour: 813 runs at 58 against Delhi and 254 runs at 42 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Moreover, 65% of his runs in this edition have come away from Chennai.
Matheesha Pathirana (three wickets) and Axar Patel (two wickets and 21 runs) were the captain and vice-captain respectively of the Best11 when the sides met earlier in the tournament.
Ravindra Jadeja’s selection percentage of 90 in the tournament is for a reason: he has scored 133 runs, scalped 16 wickets, and pouched eight catches to average 54 points per match.
Deepak Chahar has picked seven wickets in as many matches this season. However, none of these came outside Chepauk.
