BANGALORE: Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Andy Bichel is expecting another high-scoring thriller as his team take on Royal Challengers Bangalore. RCB made 205 in their clash in Chennai and the hosts managed to successfully chase it down and win on the last ball.
“Since RCB’s batting looks heavy at the top of the order, fully packed with overseas players, I think it will come down to a nail-biting over and hope we can win this (type of a game) again. It will be a high-scoring game as the results at the Chinnaswamy Stadium shows,” said Bichel. He, however, does not take RCB lightly and lauded the team for boasting of some good names at the international level and expected them to keep up the winning momentum gained in their last three games.
“It is challenge for us coming here and playing at RCB’s home territory. They are a good side and have the momentum,” he said and added he was not sure about playing the same XI.
Aware of RCB winning against Rajasthan Royals without enough contributions from Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli, CSK has sketched a bowling plan for all host players. “We have plans for all RCB players. We will devise a plan with bowlers and hopefully it comes off on Tuesday. A small window of opportunity (we should grab) and that is the thing about T20,” he said.
Though RCB captain Daniel Vettori has been struggling to find touch with his bat and ball, Bichel thinks he has done well as a captain.
