The Chennai Super Kings are set to take on the Sunfoil Dolphins in the Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament on Monday, September 22.
The match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is slated to start at 8 p.m. IS T (2:30 p.m. GMT).
The match will be broadcast on Star Sports in India and Supersport in Africa.
It will also be broadcast on Star Cricket in Sri Lanka and the rest of South East Asia, Astro in Malaysia, Gazi TV in Bangladesh, PTV in Pakistan, Eurosport in the United Kingdom and Europe, ESPN in the United States and South America, Sportsnet in Canada, SKY TV in New Zealand, and OSN in the Middle East.
Live streaming will be available through most broadcasters.
The Super Kings are coming off a loss by 3 wickets to the Kolkata Knight Riders while the Dolphins are coming off a loss by 6 wickets to the Perth Scorchers.
In its preview, the official CLT20 website noted, “Skipper Morne van Wyk, Cameron Delport and Cody Chetty will be at the forefront of the Dolphins’ batting plans. Add Khayelihle Zondo, who scored a half-century in the team’s opener against the Perth Scorchers, into the mix too, for this format is all about form and momentum. On the bowling front, it will be interesting to see how Kyle Abbott and Robbie Frylinck fare on the placid surface they are likely to come up against.”
As for the Kings, they also feature a range of stars such as Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Smith, and Suresh Raina.
“CSK become close to invincible when their spinners start firing; it is therefore important that R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who had a poor outing against the Kolkata Knight Riders, start finding their rhythm, especially since they will be bowling to opponents who wouldn’t have too much experience playing quality spin,” it said.
“Finally, the man who calls the shots – skipper MS Dhoni, who is always a few steps ahead of the game, despite the frenzied pace of the T20 format.”
Following this match, CSK will take on the Lahore Lions on Thursday in Bengaluru, while the Dolphins will take on the Lions on Saturday, also in Bengaluru.
