IPL 2023 | CSK vs PK | 41st Match, 30th April, 3:30 PM | Match Preview

Series: Indian Premier League 2023

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings, 41st Match 30th April 3.30 PM IST

Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

Chennai Super Kings will be eager to secure a home win to maintain their position in the top 4. Punjab Kings will be coming here on the back of heavy loss in Mohali where they conceded 257 runs bowling first.

It will be an exciting contest given how effective CSK have been on their home turf with both bat and ball. Punjab has a good bowling attack that features the likes of Arshdeep, Curran, Rabada, and Chahar.
Punjab will face a tough challenge away from home. Even though CSK bowlers were expensive in their last game against RR, they can bounce back under Dhoni’s leadership at Chepauk and give PBKS a tough time.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Chennai Super Kings Preview
There’s not much a skipper can do when all of his trump cards fail. Three young and inexperienced pacers form the frontline of this CSK bowling attack.
Even the overseas bowler in this lineup is Maheesh Theekshana, a promising 22-year old mystery-spinner with 38 T20Is in his career. Jadeja isn’t in his best form but can be a key player with the ball on this ground.
In his last outing at Chepauk, Jaddu bagged 3 for 22 against SRH.

Punjab Kings Preview
It was a night Mohali will never forget as Punjab Kings were at the receiving end of what could have been the highest ever IPL total. It will not be easy to come out of something like that for PBKS.
There are some positives to take from that game. Atharva Taide finding his touch and showing just what he’s capable of. Jitesh Sharma also continued his form and delivered another impactful performance in the lower order.

Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the home of CSK, will be the venue for this fixture. The straight boundaries are shorter at this venue and the size of the square boundaries would depend on the pitch chosen on the match day. While the average 1st innings score here is 158 runs,
a winning-total should be something over 185-190 runs.
