PBKS Playing 11 for Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings, Match 41 of IPL 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for CSK vs PBKS Dream11 Team Prediction

The Punjab Kings are set to face the Chennai Super Kings in their next match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The match will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 30.

PBKS will be looking to bounce back from their recent disappointment after being thrashed by Lucknow Super Giants. The team’s bowlers had a terrible outing, with the Super Giants’ batsmen posting the second-highest team total in IPL history. Although Arshdeep Singh has been impressive, picking up 14 wickets this season, he has received little support from his fellow bowlers.

Kagiso Rabada, who missed a couple of matches, is now back in the squad and will be crucial going forward. However, the spinners, Rahul Chahar and Harpreet Singh, have struggled to take wickets, which is an area of concern for PBKS.

PBKS will need to rely on their batting lineup to put up a formidable score against the formidable CSK. Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from his injury and is now back at the top of the order where he will partner with Prabhsimran Singh. Atharva Taide has shown flashes of brilliance and will bat at number three.

The middle order, including Liam Livingstone, Sikandar Raza, Sam Curran, and Jitesh Sharma, will need to step up and take on the CSK bowlers.
