What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
With a bit of a rally in recent times, Punjab Kings have managed to notch up four wins from 10 games and are seventh on the IPL 2024 points table with a bit of an outside chance of making the playoffs. Chennai Super Kings have five wins and need to grab three victories from their next four matches to give themselves a chance of qualifying.
Quick PBKS vs CSK Preview
It was a surprise result for Punjab in their last match which came against the Super Kings itself. Having won just three of their first nine games and going up against one of the best sides in the tournament, Punjab looked to have hit the jackpot by winning the toss and getting to field first.
And while the Super Kings recovered from 107/4 in 15.3 overs on what looked like a slow pitch to post 162/7, they were done in by the dew.
Batting second became way too easy for Punjab and once CSK had lost Deepak Chahar to an injury in the very first over, the game was PBKS’s for the taking.
Jonny Bairstow continued from where he had left off with a fine 30-ball 46 but the star of the match were the Punjab spinners who grabbed 4/33 from a combined eight overs.
Harpreet Brar won the man-of-the-match award while Rahul Chahar bowled a crucial 19th over in which he conceded just three.
Can Punjab repeat their magic?
