IPL 2025, Match 22: Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Match Preview

Hosts Punjab Kings will take on the Chennai Super Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, at Mullanpur, in Chandigarh, on Tuesday, April 8. The battle between these two Kings franchises has always been intriguing to watch in the tournament. PBKS are having a good time in the ongoing IPL 2025 season with two back-to-back wins.

However, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) broke their winning streak and defeated them by 50 runs in the previous match. The Shreyas Iyer-led side will be looking forward to winning the upcoming game and getting back on track. CSK aren't having a good time on the field, with three back-to-back losses.

The Super Kings are having trouble finding the right combination this season. Despite having a good set of bowlers, the batters haven't stepped up yet, which is an area of concern for them. The tournament is long, but they can still find their way into the league.
