Chennai Super Kings will square off against Punjab Kings in the 49th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Wednesday. 

CSK is at the bottom of the points table with only two wins in nine games as they have failed to perform consistently. The five-time champions have looked vulnerable with the bat and it has been a major concern for them.

On the other hand, PBKS openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have impressed, but the middle order needs to be more consistent.
