CSK vs PBKS Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s Chennai Super Kings Vs Punjab Kings In MA Chidambaram Stadium, 730PM IST, Chennai

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) host Punjab Kings (PBKS) in match number 49 of IPL 2024 with an aim to seal a win and continue the winning momentum. CSK are difficult to beat at home but Punjab are one side who have beaten them thrice here, including 2023. Only Mumbai Indians (MI) have won more games here in Chennai (5) than Punjab. Having said that, Chennai will be preparing slower wickets as seen in the last match. The ball may stop coming on to the bat in the 2nd innings. The team winning the toss, will definitely look to bat first. CSK have got the bowling lineuo tailor-made for these kind of conditions.

As far as points table is concerned, CSK are at number 4 spot and Punjab are on number 8. CSK need to consolidate their position in the top four. A win tonight, in fact, will take them to the number 2nd in the standings. Punjab's chances of qualification are minimal but they will try their best to ensure they win all remaining games in the competition.

As far as players' availability is concerned, there are no injury concerns in CSK camp. Sikandar Raza is not available for Punjab as he has already left to play for Zimbabwe. Whether captain Shikhar Dhawan plays or not will be known only at the toss.
