CSK vs PBKS Match Preview For TATA IPL 2024 Match 49

Chennai Super Kings are set to face Punjab Kings in the 49th match of the Indian Premier League at the Chidambaram stadium on Wednesday.  

CSK are riding high on confidence after winning their last game to climb up to third spot on the points table with 5 wins in 9 games.  

Punjab Kings, who played an unbelievable cricket few days ago against Kolkata Knight Riders by chasing 262 runs with 8 balls to spare, also pumped up to secure a win.

While it a will a do or die stage for the Punjab side, as a defeat in any of their next 5 encounters, may end ruin their playoffs chances.

CSK vs PBKS who will win?

Chennai Super Kings are one of the most solid teams, especially at home venue, and their recent win against SRH by 78 runs, a strong batting unit, boosted their confidence even more.

However, Punjab Kings are also coming after setting the highest successful run-chase record in their last game, while they also managed to defeat CSK during their previous encounter at Chepauk, which goes in PBKS favour.
