@18:55 ā Pitch report ā This pitch has been used before, KL got a hundred batting on this wicket yesterday, but other batters struggled. Itās a hard wicket, but the slower deliveries will grip a bit. The surface has good bounce and batting first would be a good choice, a total of 170-180 will be a good total here
@18:00 ā CSK have been hit with a major blow, with all-rounder Moeen Ali suffering an ankle injury. The Englishman is out of contention for the PBKS gme.

The defending champions witnessed the 40-year-old champion finish off a thriller against Mumbai Indians in El Clasico which could be a big inspiration for the entire team. If the Dhoni magic canāt motivate CSK, nothing else could do it for them.
On the other hand, Mayank Agarwal & Co will have a task out when they take the field after consecutive losses. They are still with only 3 wins in 7 matches and need to keep winning if they want to finally enter the playoff this season. They will draw confidence from their previous win against CSK by 54 runs.

CSK
CSK have won two out of their seven matches so far while Punjab Kings are a touch better with three victories from seven outings.
Defending champions CSK have faltered in all departments this season.Ā They havenāt played the cricket they are known for under skipper Ravindra Jadeja, who has not been able to lead from the front.
But they will approach the next match embolden by their three-wicket win against bottom-placed Mumbai Indians courtesy Dhoni, who yet again proved he is the best finisher in the business.
The wicketkeeper-batter turned back the clock to script a memorable three-wicket victory, following a heart-stopping finish that saw him hit six and two fours in the final over to finish the game.
Bowling has been a major concern for CSK but the former champions produced a good show against Mumbai with rookie pacer Mukesh Choudhary, who has struggled under pressure all season, wreaking havoc with the new ball, bagging three
wickets.
Old warhorse Dwayne Bravo continues to be a reliable servant for the team, picking up wickets whenever he is entrusted with the ball. Skipper Jadeja is having an underwhelming season with bat and ball, while the addition of Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana has bolstered the severely depleted bowling unit, which is missing Deepak Chahar and Adam Milne.

Young Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has had a miserable season so far apart from the 73 against Gujarat Titans, will need to step up and deliver with the bat. All-rounders Moeen Ali and Shivam Dube will also have to take more responsibility.
Gaikwad has managed a single fifty in the last 7 matches, including a first-ball duck in El Clasico. He has managed just 108 runs in 7 matches at an average of 15.43.

Punjab Kings
On the other hand, PBKS are placed eighth, CSK occupies the penultimate slot in the IPL points table.
- Punjab will be smarting from the nine-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals. The Punjab batting unit has been plagued by inconsistency all season.
- While they boast of power-hitters like Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livingstone, and Shah Rukh Khan, consistency is something they would aim for.
- Jonny Bairstow has failed to fire in the four games he has played and it will be seen if he is replaced by Sri Lankan Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who fared much better than the Englishman.
- Punjab have a strong and varied bowling attack led by South African quick Kagiso Rabada, who has been right on the money.
- Arshdeep Singh has also been brilliant. Although the 23-year-old hasnāt snared too many wickets, he has bowled economically but Vaibhav Arora needs to step up.
- The role of pace-bowling all-rounder Odean Smith will be crucial. The West Indian has not been at his best so far in the IPL.
