CSK is at fourth place in the points table. On the other hand, PBKS team is present at eighth position in the table. This match today is very important for both the teams. It is important for Punjab to win this match to remain in the league and for Chennai to win the top 4.
How has been your recent performance?
Both the teams have won their previous matches. Chennai Super Kings had defeated a good team like Sunrisers Hyderabad by 78 runs at their home ground. In such a situation, it has become a very difficult task to defeat CSK on its home ground. PBKS, on the other hand, created history in their last game. They not only defeated KKR on their own ground, but also chased the biggest target in the history of the league. Innings from Jonny Bairstow, Prabsimran Singh and Shashank Singh helped PBKS chase 262 runs with eight balls to spare. In such a situation, CSK team will not make the mistake of taking him lightly. In such a situation, let us know what the pitch will be like for today’s match.
