Match Analysis : 

In today’s match Sanju Samson’s Rajasthan Royals will clash with the MS Dhoni lead Chennai Super Kings. Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings both have started the 14th Edition of IPL in similar manner. Both the teams lost their first match but came back strongly and registered their 1st win of the season in the second game.  Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were finished bottom 2 teams in previous edition of the IPL.

The Super Kings bat deeper than possibly any other team in the competition, but none of their batters belong among the elite rung of T20 hitters, unless they were somehow able to turn back time. Their bowling is similar: a large array of useful options, but little in the way of raw pace or - unless Imran Tahir plays - genuine wicket-taking threat in the middle overs.

Alothugh Chennai Super Kings put on a superb bowling performance against Punjab Kings with Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran being the stars with the new ball. But despite chasing a meagre total of 107, CSK's middle-order wobbled a bit, and the match extended longer than MS Dhoni would have liked.

Faf du Plessis showed signs of form against PBKS and if he continues like this, he may prove to be a match-winner for the team. And Moeen Ali has been a revelation batting at no. 3 and he is likely to hold on to the spot as long as he keeps hitting shots the way he has been doing. Deepak Chahar bowled one of the best spells of this edition’s IPL in the last game against Punjab. He picked up 4 wickets by conceding only 13 runs.

Whereas Rajasthan Royals had some sort of relief after winning the last thriller match against the Delhi Capitals. They will miss the absence of Ben Stocks as he returned to England after finger injury. The Royals possess top-drawer T20 stars in Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson and Chris Morris, but quality is otherwise spread thin across their squad, particularly with Ben Stokes out for the season and Jofra Archer's participation in doubt.

Top Picks for Fantasy 11 : 

Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Rahul Tewatia, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar.

Expected 11 : 

Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad/Robin Uthappa, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo/Lungi Ngidi, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar.

Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler, Manan Vohra, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, David Miller, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat/Shreyas Gopal, Chetan Sakariya, Mustafizur Rahman.

Top pick for Captain/ Vice Captain  : 

Captain : Faf Du Plesis, Sanju Samson, Chris Morris

Vice Captain : Suresh Raina, Jos Butler, Rahul Tewatia 

Venue :

Both the Captain had seen the last match of Delhi Capitals Vs Punjab Kings. They definitely noticed the due factor came in to play.  And the pitch was very good to bat on in second innings, Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is always favorable to batsmen. This Mumbai pitch is flat wicket and we expect a good total here again like last game. Weather will be cloudy but there is no chance of rain. Temperature will be around 27 - 34 degree.
