IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings
On April 3rd, the Chennai Super Kings will face the Punjab Kings at Brabourne Stadium in their next match. The Men in Yellow have now lost two games in a row, and Ravindra Jadeja's captaincy has so far failed to impress. CSK, on the other hand, has been one of the most successful teams in recent years, and its talisman MS Dhoni appears to be in terrific form with the bat, which is a bonus. With a win over Punjab, they'll get off to a good start in the points table.
The Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to their season, performing admirably against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their first game in a huge run chase before being totally outplayed by the Kolkata Knight Riders in their second game. However, if their hitters can stay in the game for extended periods of time, they will be a lot more dangerous, and their bowlers will have to step up as well.
Match details
Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings, 11th match of IPL 2022
Date & time: 3rd April, 2022, 7:30PM IST
Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch report
The Brabourne Stadium is likely to be ideal for batting, as it has been thus far. Under the lights, the surface becomes even better to bat on since it is flat and even-paced. There is a lot of dew that gets in, making it harder to defend under these situations. As the ball skids onto the bat, the spinners will have a difficult time.
The team that wins the toss will choose to bat first. This is a major advantage to have, as the team that wins the toss has won all but one of the matches so far at this field.
