Preview:
The snake and ladder game between Bangalore and Chennai is taking interesting turns after every single game. Bangalore were sitting at the pole position of the Indian T20 League 2021, but with a win in their last game, Chennai have snatched the place from them.
Bangalore will have a chance of reclaiming it again today, but in order to achieve that, they will have to beat Punjab. KL Rahul’s team have had a very poor start to their campaign, as they have won only 2 of their first 6 games. They will need to go on a winning run if they want to make it to the playoffs.
