Punjab Kings (PBKS) will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, on 8 April 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Punjab Kings Punjab Kings suffered their first defeat of IPL 2025 when they lost their last match to Rajasthan Royals by 50 runs. While chasing a target of 206 set by RR, PBKS crumbled under pressure and were only able to score 155 for 9 in their 20 overs. Nehal Wadhere (62 from 41) was the highest scorer for PBKS in this match. As this was their first defeat of this season, they would rectify their mistakes against CSK and bounce back. Currently, with two victories in three matches, Shreyas Iyer's side is placed fourth in the points table. Chennai Super Kings The Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive defeat in IPL 2025. They are clearly lacking the intent in batting, and with their ordinary bowling attack, they are not able to control the game. While batting first, Delhi Capitals posted 183/6 in their first innings, thanks to KL Rahul's (77) innings. Later, CSK lost the match under pressure in the power play itself. Ruturaj's side needs to look at their team combination and bounce back in the competition before it's too late. Doubts regarding the future of MS Dhoni with the team are also being raised. But with plenty of games still to be played, CSK will hope to improve.
