J Unadkat was effective with his left-arm bowling in the last game. He picked 3 wickets for 15 runs and wreaked havoc in his opening spell. He can do that again on the Wankhede pitch which will assist him. He has 84 wickets in 81 IPL games at a strike-rate of 19.85 and an average of 28.98.
Chennai and RR have won their respective last games and are looking in some form. However, both teams have their weaknesses and it seems CSK are in better place to expose RR’s weakness of batting depth. So in the CSK vs RR Dream11 today match prediction expect CSK to win the game.
