Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be up against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 53rd match of IPL 2024 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings find themselves on contrasting paths. While Punjab has managed to turn their fortunes around with back-to-back victories, Chennai’s juggernaut has hit a speed bump, losing 3 of their last 5 games.
In their reverse fixture earlier this season, Punjab Kings outplayed Chennai Super Kings. After restricting the defending champions to a modest 162, Punjab’s batters showcased their mettle, chasing down the target with 13 balls to spare, securing a convincing 7-wicket victory. Punjab Kings’ back-to-back victories would revive their playoff chances and serve as a confidence-boosting double over one of the tournament’s heavyweights. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings will be desperate to arrest their recent slide and reassert their dominance, aiming to avenge their earlier defeat against Punjab.
Let’s look at the top three batters who are expected to make important contributions in today’s IPL match, including their form, track record, and match-ups with opponents.
