The venue, Pitch Report, and Toss Prediction:
Match number 12 of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2021 will witness Chennai Super Kings take on Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday.
The Wankhede wicket has played a lot inversely than what we have been familiar with seeing over the past few times. Although the first two matches saw totals in surplus of 200 being heaped up for fun, the average first-innings tally in the following matches has been a mere 127.
With a coating of grass on the wicket, the surface has encouraged swing bowlers early on, although there is sufficient seam movement accessible off the wicket as well. As the game proceeds, the speedsters have exploited the change of pace to their gain, with the ball riveting off the wicket.
Although there isn’t much spin on the bid, the spin bowlers have used the extra bounce available off the pitch to great effect. The batters will need to abide by their time on the crease to safeguard a smooth movement of play in the powerplay overs.
Wickets in hand will be crucial, with 155-165 being a tricky total at Wankhede. Both sides will consider chasing upon winning the toss as dew will play a part in the second half.
Tops Value:
Although both sides are well-tallied on paper, Chennai Super Kings will hold the advantage in the vital encounter, owing to their experience. But Sanju Samson and the team have shown plenty of potential in the IPL 2021 so far and should maintain the three-time champions CSK on their toes.
Chennai is at the pre-match odds of 1.76 whereas Rajasthan is at 2.00. If the latter drops below this mark, we’ll perhaps play. But with caution. We don’t want the Royals protecting – it is by far their feeblest outfit.
