CSK  vs PBKS Match Overview

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings: Both teams preview 

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings, the most successful team in IPL history, are struggling this season. They are sitting at the bottom of the points table with just 2 wins from their nine matches. Teams started strong in the season but then lost momentum and lost back-to-back against RCB, RR, DC, PBKS, and KKR. However, they did bounce back with a win over LSG, but then again failed to make an impact and lost their next clashes to MI and SRH in the revenge week. Facing PBKS for the second time, the team will look to take revenge and end their campaign on a positive note

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings have had a mixed season so far. They started with an 11-run win over GT and carried the momentum to their next match against LSG. However, the team faced a defeat in their next encounters and lost their winning momentum. Coming from a no-result match against KKR, Punjab Kings will be looking for a win and to get into the playoff race. Having won 5 of their nine matches this season, they are in a completely new Avatar with last year’s defending captain, Shreyas, on their side. As they gear up to face Chennai Super Kings in their next match, PBKS would look to add crucial points and stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Pitch Report 

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings- The 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The Chepauk Stadium is favourable to the bowlers and is mainly known for its spin-friendly nature. This pitch is amongst the few grounds of India that provide support to bowlers and not batters. The spin-friendly track slows down as the game progresses, making the strokeplay difficult. Although this season, the pitch behaved a bit differently and made batting in the second innings easier, without any dew.
