PBKS vs CSK Match Preview
PBKS defeated CSK in their previous encounter, keeping their playoff hopes alive. However, Punjab Kings have only four wins in 10 games, and their chances of reaching the playoffs are hanging by a thread. The only way for PBKS to qualify for the playoffs is to win all their remaining matches, which would bring them to 16 points.
PBKS should welcome Shikhar Dhawan for the all-important clash. However, there are speculations that Sam Curran could remain as PBKS captain even if Dhawan returns to the team. Sikandar Raza has left PBKS to lead Zimbabwe in the T20I series against Bangladesh.
PBKS will back Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, and Shashank Singh to score runs against CSK. Dhawan is an experienced campaigner and would be eyeing a strong return, while Bairstow has shown good form in the last two innings, scoring 108 and 46. Shashank has been the most consistent PBKS batter.
Kagiso Rabada, Arshdeep Singh, and Harpreet Brar can be backed as PBKS’ top bowlers. Rabada and Arshdeep Singh are the highest wicket-takers for PBKS, with 13 wickets each, while Harpreet has been very economical and got CSK batters in a tangle in the previous game, bowling a spell of 2-17.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings have five wins and as many defeats in 10 games. Their chances of reaching the playoffs took a massive blow after their defeat to PBKS. CSK need to win at least three out of their remaining four games to qualify.
The team desperately needs a win against PBKS, as they have only one home game left, which is against the table-toppers, Rajasthan Royals. A victory against PBKS is crucial for CSK, as even if they lose to RR, they will still have a chance to qualify.
For CSK, Mustafizur Rahman has left for Bangladesh. Additionally, there is no clear update on Matheesha Pathirana, who picked up an injury ahead of the previous game. CSK could replace Richard Gleeson with Pathirana if he is fit.
Mitchell Santner can replace Mustafizur Rahman, and Rachin Ravindra can be used in place of Moeen Ali. Deepak Chahar is also not fit, and there is a high chance of him being replaced by Tushar Deshpande.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and Daryl Mitchell can be backed as CSK’s top batters. Gaikwad scored 62 in the last game and has leapfrogged Virat Kohli to bag the Orange Cap, with over 500 runs to his name. Shivam Dube has been outstanding as well, scoring 350 runs. Mitchell scored a fifty against SRH and is a quality batter.
CSK’s bowling will rest on Matheesha Pathirana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Tushar Deshpande. Pathirana and Deshpande did not play the last game but are likely to return. Both are genuine wicket-takers and will have to play a significant role in CSK’s quest to stay alive in the tournament. Jadeja also needs to find his mojo back, as he is a vital cog in CSK’s bowling lineup.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium will assist the fast bowlers early on. However, it will become better for batting as the game progresses. The pace and bounce will be consistent, while the fast outfield will ensure value for shots. A score of around 180 should be considered par at this venue.
The captains will likely opt to chase if they win the toss, as defending a score has become challenging these days due to the Impact player rule, which provides captains with the luxury of playing an extra batter.
The conditions in Dharamsala are expected to be pleasant, with temperatures in the early 20s. There is also a 20 per cent chance of rain.

FAQs
Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings – Who Will Win?
Chennai Super Kings are getting the favourites’ tag on betting platforms. Although the odds were heavily tilted in favour of CSK initially, Punjab Kings’ wins in the last two games have pulled them back. However, given the experience in the CSK camp, they still appear to be the better team.
We suggest backing CSK to win. Despite injuries to key bowlers, CSK have enough quality and depth in their batting lineup to secure a victory.
Additionally, PBKS themselves have been ordinary and can be inconsistent at times. If they lose a couple of early wickets, PBKS could collapse.
We are predicting the Chennai Super Kings as the winner of this match against Punjab Kings.
