Preview:
Chennai and Bangalore have been the two most formidable teams so far in the ongoing edition of the Indian T20 League. Chennai started off poorly with a defeat against Delhi, but after that, things have been as perfect as it can get for them.
On the other hand, Bangalore haven’t had even one slip-up. They have won all the games they have played and Virat Kohli’s team is looking like a serious title contender this time around. Hence, this match is bound to be an enthralling affair that no cricket loyalist would want to miss.
