IPL 2025 PBKS vs CSK Match Prediction: A big opportunity awaits the Punjab Kings as they take on CSK in their own fortress at Chepauk
PBKS vs CSK Match Prediction: Once called their castle, Chennai Super Kings’ home ground at Chepauk has been their weakest limb in this edition of the IPL. In this season, CSK has lost four times at home, and hence, Punjab Kings might also look to join the trend and enjoy their success at this iconic venue.
For Chennai Super Kings, this game is vital for their existence in the race for the playoffs, as a loss would officially knock them out of the race to the playoffs. CSK have tried the most number of players this season, while they have also recognised youngsters like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis.
Punjab Kings heavily rely on their top-order batting, as Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been one of the finest opening duos of the season, scoring a lot of runs at a very quick rate. PBKS' middle order has been in crisis, but Marcus Stoinis, who scored a hundred at this venue last time when he featured at this venue playing for LSG, hence his return, might be sighted in the playing 11. The likes of Glenn Maxwell and Josh Inglis have not shown any substantial form recently.
