Having beaten the same opponents twice in the league stage, Chennai Super Kings coach Kepler Wessels said his side would go with the psychological advantage when his side clashes with Kings XI Punjab in the semifinal of the Indian Premier League in Mumbai on Saturday.
"We had beaten them early in the tournament when we had our strongest team and later on even without the overseas players we still managed to win. It's an advantage to go into the semifinals against them with this record," Wessels said.
The South African, however, said the team would still need to stick to the basics to emerge victorious on Saturday.
Wessels said both the teams will get the chance to assess the Wankhede Stadium pitch from the first semifinal today.
"We will get a look at the pitch during the semifinal today (between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils) and it will give us a fair idea. It should be an advantage for both teams playing the semifinals," he said.
The coach said they had picked a replacement for New Zealander Stephen Fleming who had to leave the team due to personal reasons. |
