Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 49 of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, April 30. MS Dhoni-led CSK are languishing at last position in the points table, with four points from nine matches. A loss on Wednesday will officially knock them out of the playoffs race. PBKS are fifth in the points table, with 11 points from nine matches.
Chennai suffered a five-wicket defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last match, which was also played at Chepauk. Batting first, CSK's batting struggled once again as they were bowled out for 154 in 19.5 overs. Chennai's failure to overcome their batting woes in IPL 2025 has cost them in a big way. They fought hard with the ball against SRH, but did not have enough on the board.
Punjab's previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens produced no result due to rain. Before that, they went down to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by seven wickets in Mullanpur. PBKS' batting struggled as they posted 157-6 batting first. Shreyas Iyer and co. would be seeking better consistency in both batting and bowling departments.
