"I think we have played decent cricket. We need to get a good start and we need to get better at the death. It's easier to break things into smaller stuff. We are playing with the same team, happy with the same combination. The side looks balanced and it looks good. We wanted to bat first, but happy to bat second. We are the most experienced team when it comes to chasing. The morale is high, that's a good thing. I feel the support staff and the players' attitude matters, it makes the job easy for us when the dressing room atmosphere is happy."

Playing XI: KL Rahul(w/c), Mayank Agarwal, Mandeep Singh, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Sarfaraz Khan, Chris Jordan, Harpreet Brar, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Sheldon Cottrell

"We'll bat first. Looks a pretty good wicket, hope it gets a little slower too. If we put a big total, it will put some pressure on them. Lots of positives to think of and be proud of. It can all change quickly. We need to get the momentum."

Kings XI Punjab win toss, opt to bat against Chennai Super Kings in Dubai.

"Not a lot to talk about the pitch other than the grass covering that is gone as we are seeing less and less cover of grass now. If you're batting first for the majority of the games, you're winning. So, I don't see that changing. We do have a shorter boundary tonight, there is a 66 metre boundary but we do have a bigger boundary which is like 85-86 metres to my left, straight down the ground not much. I would like to tell you that it's 21 balls per six here in Dubai, Abu Dhabi 22 balls per six and in Sharjah it's only 8 balls per six. We are seeing entertainment after entertainment which is so good for this format and there will be more right here tonight."

The last time Chennai had lost four in a row was in 2010 IPL between 21 and 28 April.

Chennai Super Kings lead the head-to-head rivalry against Kings XI Punjab with 12 wins in 21 IPL meetings. However, both teams have won two apiece in their last four meetings. And in their only previous meeting in the UAE, Kings XI had defeated CSK by six wickets by successfully chasing 206.
