PBKs made a good start in the season, winning two consecutive games, but not built well, losing five straight matches at the New Chandigarh site. In his previous outing, which was his first domestic game of the season against Rajasthan Royals, Punjab was added more than 200 total. However, the performance of Nehal Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell gave some hope, but eventually failed to cross the side line, leading to a 50 -run defeat.

On the other hand, CSK is struggling with three necklaces in a row, due to lack of its misfining departments and balance. They have already been rotated through 17 players and all seven foreign options. Ruturaj Gikwad's demonity with the inaugural slot and the lack of Shivam Dubey's runs have added to his crises. In particular, their powerplay strike rate (7.5) and the overall run rate (8.1) are the lowest in the league. The five -time champion had not yet a season to remember and this time will look to make things right.
