The Super Kings will go into their match against the Titans as the firm favourites. They have a brute force in home conditions and the Titans may find it tough to get past them.
Shubman Gill is expected to be the top batter in the upcoming game between the two teams. Against MI, he scored 31 runs off 22 balls with 3 fours and a six. Gill has scored 162 runs against CSK and is third in the list of leading run-scorers in matches between the two teams.
Daryl Mitchell can strike the ball a long distance and that was evident from the way he played in the ODI World Cup last year. Against RCB, Mitchell scored 22 runs off 18 balls with 2 sixes before Cameron Green accounted for his crucial wicket. The Titans cannot afford to let him settle down.
