IPL 2022 | CSK vs PBKS | Match 11 - Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 juggernaut rolls on as the 11th game of the lucrative tournament sees Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squaring off against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday. 

Both the teams will head into this clash on the back of defeats in their respective recent games. While CSK recorded their second consecutive loss of the season against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Punjab Kings (PBKS) were handed a six wickets setback by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).  

The Chennai batters did an excellent job, scoring 210 runs batting first. However, it was their bowling that was a huge letdown. Except for Dwayne Bravo and Dwaine Pretorius, no other bowler could manage to keep the LSG batters on the backfoot. They need to improve their bowling, especially against the hefty batting lineup of Punjab Kings, to claim their first win of IPL 2022 in this match. 

On the other hand, PBKS were off to an excellent start to the IPL 2022 campaign. They beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their opening game after chasing down the target of 206 but were completely different outplayed by the Knights in the second game. Their batting, which has been proclaimed as one of the best this season, came on knees against KKR bowlers. 

None of their batters could pass the 50-run mark. Their bowlers did a decent job in the initial hours of the second innings, but then the muscle-man of KKR, Andre Russell, had other plans for PBKS. He demolished Punjab's bowling lineup and smacked 70 runs off just 31 balls to help his side cross the finish line. 

Coming to the points table, the Super Kings are placed at the 8th spot of the IPL 2022 standings, while Punjab Kings are sitting at a spot ahead of their opposition with a couple of points in their account.

Going into Sunday's clash, both Punjab and Chennai will be looking to win the game after registering a loss in their previous matches.

Pitch Report 

The deck at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai, will favour the batters again, as it has been in the last couple of games. The quick bowlers will get an early swing, while spinners might come into the picture as the game progresses. We have seen 200 being chased in the last match played at this venue. Dew played a massive role in the previous game, and it will remain the same on Sunday. Both the teams will look to bowl first after winning the toss.

Injury Update/Players Availability

Chennai Super Kings: Rajvardhan Hangargekar may replace Tushar Deshpande.

Punjab Kings: Johnny Bairstow will be available for selection. However, it will be intriguing to see who he will replace in Punjab's batting lineup. Dropping Bhanuka Rajapaksa will not be a wise decision after the way he performed against KKR. Odean Smith might make a place for Bairstow. Also, Sandeep Sharma might replace Raj Bawa.

IPL 2022 | Popular analyst urges Shreyas Iyer to 'get his act together' against leg-spinners

Renowned commentator Aakash Chopra believes that Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Shreyas Iyer needs to get his act together against leg-spinners. Iyer has looked in pristine touch so far in this season of Indian Premier League (IPL). But, in his last two outings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS), he was guilty of taking unnecessary risks against the leg-spinners, leading to his downfall." In the game against RCB, Shreyas was dismissed by Wanindu Hasaranga for a 10-ball 13 after he tried to loft the leg-spinner flat over his head. The only issue was that he didn't hit it from the middle of his bat and gave a simple catch to Faf du Plessis. Then, in the last game against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), Iyer holed out on the leg-side to Kagiso Rabada after he couldn't resist the temptation of hitting Rahul Chahar after the wrist-spinner had delivered three dot balls. Chahar followed it up with the wicket of Nitish Rana in the same over to end up with a double-wicket maiden. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Iyer is too good a player to get out in such a manner against the leg-spinners, urging the KKR skipper to get his act together. "Shreyas Iyer seems to have an issue with leg-spinners. It looks at the ball and seems he wants to hit a six. The last match he got out to (Wanindu) Hasaranga. He's too good a player to play shots like these to get out. Yes, Shreyas, you got to get your act together." Shreyas' dismissal, followed by the wicket of Rana, did put the Knight Riders in a bit of a bother, but Andre Russell's brutal unbeaten 31-ball 70 ensured that the two-time champions romped home with six wickets still in their kitty. Iyer has been in brilliant form ever since he returned from injury late last year. He has thrived in both Test and T20I cricket for India over the last few months and has looked in immaculate touch in this IPL as well. The former Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper will look to convert his form into runs when he bats in KKR's next game against their bogey team, the Mumbai Indians, in Pune on April 6.

ICC Women's CWC | Ellyse Perry could play as a specialist batter in the World Cup final, says Meg Lanning

Ahead of the 2022 ICC Women's World cup final between Australia and England in Christchurch, Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry's fitness has been a matter of concern as the 31-year-old couldn't feature in the last two games of the competition due to back issues. However, according to recent reports, Perry could play as a specialist batter in the final against England. Perry also went through some draining training sessions ahead of the final, scheduled on Sunday (April 3) at Christchurch. Two years back, Perry couldn't play in the knockouts of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup at home, but the Aussies still managed to win the trophy. This time around, Perry is confident and committed that she will be able to break into the lineup in the final. Even Australian captain Meg Lanning has stated that their star all-rounder has looked impressive in her fitness test and is on the right path to making it to the final. "We feel like we'll have a full squad to pick from. Ellyse went through a hard and intense training session yesterday and today and is feeling good," Lanning told reporters during the pre-match conference. Perry got injured midway against South Africa about a fortnight back and hasn't bowled since then. On the other hand, the Sydney Sixers' stalwart's impressive batting average in the 50-over format gives enough proof of the talent and match-winning capabilities. "She can surely play as a batter, and at the moment, the plan is to play her as a batter. She hasn't bowled since the last two weeks, and it could be difficult for her to bowl in a final if she hadn't done that," the Aussie captain added. Perry could replace Annabel Sutherland if the all-rounder is fit to play. The Australians will be confident as they haven't lost a single game in this competition so far and would be looking to win their seventh World Cup title. On the other hand, England, who are the defending champions, would be determined to stop the Aussie juggernaut. It could be a thrilling encounter between the two arch-rivals
