IPL 2023: Match 41, CSK vs PBKS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between CSK vs PBKS?

After suffering a defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will now host Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 30 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. Notably, after suffering a defeat in their last match, CSK have slipped in the IPL Points Table and are currently fourth while Punjab aren’t in a good position as they are sixth on the table with eight points from eight matches.

As far as PBKS are concerned, they leaked 257 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their last match. Thus, their bowling unit will be under a lot of pressure against CSK as they will be desperate to prove themselves again.

When it comes to batting, Artharva Taide rose up to the occasion in the game against LSG and that will boost his confidence in the upcoming games. CSK, meanwhile, will hope that the duo of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad continues to do well while Tushar Deshpande has also done reasonably well at the death for the four-time champions.

CSK vs PBKS Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter: Devon Conway

The dashing Kiwi opener Devon Conway is currently third on the IPL 2023 Orange Cap list. In eight matches so far, the 31-year-old has scored 322 runs at a strike rate of 137.02. He has four half-centuries in his last five matches and thus, will definitely be one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming match.

Probable best bowler: Arshdeep Singh

The ace pacer Arshdeep Singh leaked a lot of runs in the last match but overall, he has picked up 14 wickets from eight matches. Against CSK batters, who are in extremely good form, Arshdeep can be a very useful weapon for the Shikhar Dhawan-led side.
