Kings XI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833 vs Chennai Super Kings – IPL 5 – Toss Report
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, May 17, 2012.
The skipper is back after missing a month of IPL action, with his last game coming against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 18th. Since then, the Kings XI has done well to stay in contention, with the likes of Azhar Mahmood and stand-in-captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380'>David Hussey</a>">David Hussey, performing well.
However, defeat in their previous match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780-c780' title='Delhi'>Delhi</a>-c780" title="Delhi">Delhi Daredevils has again put their chances to qualify for the next round in jeopardy. However, Gilchrist’s return might just be the spark the franchise need. The left-hander said the decision to bowl was influenced by the nature of the track, which is covered with little bit of grass.
For this reason, the team has also included http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lawson-Miller-c53037'>David Miller</a>">David Miller.

It is a must-win for the defending champions, which currently occupy the fourth position on the points table. They would want to keep their fate, of qualifying, in their own hands and will need to win both their remaining matches, starting from this clash.
The weather is on the cooler side, and with the pitch offering grass, one expects the bowlers to dominate in the early parts of the game. Overall, anticipate a cracker of a match.
