🏏 IPL 2024 ~ Match N49 CSK vs PBKS at Chepauk @7.30 PM IST🏏 - Page 11

 Jonny Bairstow - Absolutely, it was nice to go to Kolkata and get some runs, chasing down 260 was special, but tonight we are in a new day, new venue and against a new team. It was a big boost to chase down that score and that'll give us confidence going into today's game. We need to stay level as a player, things are not going to go your way always, you'll have to take risks, you'll fail at times, but you need to understand that you have the skills to turn it around and it's all about staying true to yourself. As a team, we've seen everyone beating everyone, we'll need to remain level, don't get too excited when you win, don't feel low when you lose. Shashank has been amazing this season, very good against pace and spin and has shown a lot of composure in the middle order. Ashutosh is a young guy, he has that exuberance of youth, not many would even think about trying and sweeping someone like Bumrah.

Matthew: "Any team/s confirmed out of the playoffs yet? What's the permutations? " -- Not yet, there is a small chance that five teams could finish on 18 points from here. And remember, no team is completely eliminated yet.

No Shikhar Dhawan yet on this "hot and sweaty evening", as described by Ravi Shastri. Punjab Kings opt to bowl first. "Amazing stadium and crowd and excited to get ball in hand for early wickets," Curran says. "The confidence from the last game, we haven't had many wins but it was an important one. I think it is just about that fight and determination. Now that we have the ball, try to get into the Chennai batting."

CSK team - Pathirana and Tushar not playing .

They are not well. Niggle and fever.

Moeen Ali: Extremely tight at the moment. Every win is massive, we have to keep going. Take one game at a time. We are in a good position but not the best position, so a massive game tonight. We’ve been good this year, lost just one at home. The dew has been a big factor in the last couple of games but we had a really good victory last game. Home advantage is massive in tournaments, if you can capitalize on it, then you have a great chance of qualifying. (On PBKS) Their batting is very strong, they bat very deep. How we control them in the middle, how we bowl will be eye. Their players are quite aggressive but they are also smart at the same time. Jonny is a big wicket, especially when he is in form which he is now. We need early wickets. With us batting wise, we need to keep doing what we’re doing, we’re playing quite well. We haven’t played badly at all this season. Every game has been good, just haven’t got over the line every time.
