Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Predictions

Punjab bounced back from four losses in a row to beat the Knight Riders by eight wickets, followed by a seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings. The Super Kings are on the brink of the playoff places, but three losses in their last four matches has hindered their progress.

Chennai Super Kings’ Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored 69, 108*, 98 & 62 in his last 5 innings.
Chennai Super Kings’ Shivam Dube has scored 66*, 66 & 39* in his last 5 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Jonny Bairstow has scored 108* & 46 in his last 5 innings.
Punjab Kings’ Shashank Singh has scored 41, 68* & 25* in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Punjab Kings have won the last five matches against the Super Kings.

Punjab Kings Form

The Kings pulled off their second win in a row when they beat Chennai Super Kings in the first match in a double-header.

Chennai Super Kings scored 162/7 off their 20 overs. Harpreet Brar (2/17, econ 4.25) and Rahul Chahar (2/16, econ 4.00) both bowled magnificently for CSK.

The Punjab Kings raced to the win off just 17.5 overs for the loss of just three wickets. Jonny Bairstow (46 off 30 balls) and Rilee Rossouw (43 off 23 balls) got the innings off to the perfect start to set up the win.

Punjab Kings Team News

Punjab Kings are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Chennai Super Kings Form

After breaking their two-match losing streak with a win against the Sunrisers, the Super Kings lost to the Punjab Kings by seven wickets.

The Super Kings scored 162/7 off their 20 overs, with Ruturaj Gaikwad top-scoring with 62 off 48 balls.

The Punjab Kings raced to the win with 15 balls to spare. Jonny Bairstow (46 off 30 balls) and Rilee Rossouw (43 off 23 balls) got the innings off to the perfect start to set up the seven-wicket win.

Chennai Super Kings Team News

The Super Kings have lost the consistency they need with bat and ball and might need to tweak their batting line-up.

Verdict

Punjab Kings v Chennai Super Kings

I am backing Chennai Super Kings to win. I am also backing Ruturaj Gaikwad to top score for Chennai Super Kings.

Jonny Bairstow is a good bet to top score for the Punjab Kings.
