Match Preview The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will aim to break their FOUR-match losing streak at Chepauk when they take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS). The match is scheduled to be played at MA Chidambaram, Chennai, on April 30. Chennai Super Kings Punjab Kings' last match was washed out due to rain against Kolkata Knight Riders, in which they were in a strong position after scoring 201 runs in the first innings. Punjab Kings are currently in a good position. They have won 5 out of their 9 matches and are placed 5th on the points table with 11 points. However, the current form and standings of other teams like Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, and Gujarat Titans are a matter of concern for Punjab. Punjab Kings will look to win this match to strengthen their position and take a solid step forward in the race for qualification. Punjab Kings Match Details CSK vs PBKS Match Details Venue MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Date and Time 30 April, 7:30 PM IST Live Broadcast Details Star Sports Live Streaming Details JioHotstar (app and website) Pitch Report Usually, the Chepauk surface is considered to be good for the spinners, but this year in IPL 2025, the case has gotten a bit complex, with it no longer favouring the spinner but the pacers. The average first innings total in IPL 2024 was 160, but it has drastically increased to 175, which means the surface will be good for the batters to bat on. Off-break bowlers are likely to get some assistance.
