IPL Live Streaming | CSK v KXIP | IPL 7 | 2nd qualifier:

CSK would be pumped by their comfortable 7 wicket win over MI. Now CSK will take on KXIP in their second IPL knockout. Glenn Maxwell would be a major threat for them. Maxwell`s smashed two 90-plus scores against CSK in the group stage. This was the main reason behind KXIP’s wins against CSK. Qualifier 2 would be a great chance for CSK to avenge those two defeats. CSK would be eyeing for the final against KKR at Bangalore. IPL Live Streaming

CSK have reached to the finals five times already. To achieve it for the sixth time, CSK will need to stop Maxwell. He has punished both the key spinners Ashwin and Jadeja previously. Maxwell is the third highest run-scorer with 539 runs this season. He smashed 95 in 43 balls against CSK in Abu Dhabi. He helped KXIP to chase down a massive 206-run target. He was more destructive in the next clash at Cuttack. He hit a 90 off 35 balls there. It helped Punjab to build a huge total of 231. IPL Live Streaming

Ashwin conceded 38 runs without a wicket in two overs. Jadeja was expensive to with 37 runs in three overs without any success. The beating of these two bowlers by Maxwell would be a concern for CSK. Still CSK has one advantage over KXIP. KXIP was almost unstoppable during the group stage. But now they have lost their way. They were beaten comfortably by KKR at Kolkata. KXIP need to regroup them quickly. This is the last chance for them to reach to the finals. IPL Live Streaming

CSK has flexibility in their opening department. They have Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum and Faf du Plessis to juggle around. Dwayne Smith is the second highest run-scorer with 559 runs this season. Suresh Raina and David Hussey both have found their touch at the right time. They put on unbroken partnership of 89 for the fourth wicket. That helped CSK to chase down MI`s 173 with ease.

CSK has been efficient in all the departments till now. They have to maintain their level of consistency to win against KXIP. CSK heavily rely on their Indian bowling trio. That includes purple cap holder Mohit Sharma and two spinners Ashwin and Jadeja. The team would hope that they can contain the KXIP’s batting lineup. IPL Live Streaming

KXIP has destructive batsmen like Glenn Maxwell and David Miller. They also have Virender Sehwag, Manan Vohra, Wriddhiman Saha and skipper George Bailey to back them up. But this explosive batting line up failed to chase down a modest 164-run target against KKR. KXIP would be eager to bounce back to enter the final. IPL Live Streaming

KXIP has a decent bowling attack. They also have been relying mostly on their Indian players. The trio of Sandeep Sharma, Akshar Patel, and Laxmipathy Balaji took 45 wickets together. Mitchell Johnson also took 14 wickets. Sandeep Sharma and Balaji would be back against CSK. KXIP’s bowlers need to take some early wickets against CSK. CSK has very long batting lineup. Almost every batsman is in form now. This is going to be a breath taking battle. IPL Live Streaming
