IPL 2025, CSK vs PBKS: Under the pump CSK eye massive turnaround
Chennai Super Kings are set to host Punjab Kings on Wednesday at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in a must-win Indian Premier League encounter. Once a fortress for CSK, Chepauk has seen four visiting teams beat them.
CSK are enduring a challenging season, sitting at the bottom with only two wins from nine matches. Coming off two consecutive defeats, they find themselves on the brink of elimination; another loss would effectively end their playoff hopes. The team has tried their best against the adversity but has struggled with consistency. Heading into this game, they would hope to turn their fortunes around and keep their playoff hopes alive.
On the other hand, Punjab Kings are aiming to bolster their playoff chances. While their recent form has been mixed, they would hope to get back to their best with the help of their talented players. The presence of belligerent players like Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya, alongside Shreyas Iyer, Maxwell and Josh Inglis, gives PBKS a competitive edge. Their bowling unit will also eye a powerful performance.
