IPL 2024: Match 49, CSK vs PBKS Today Match Prediction – Find out who will win today’s IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings, only on Cricketwinner
| May 1, 2024 at 3:13 AM
The Chennai Super Kings have a win under their belt but are now against a Punjab Kings unit that is approaching a must-win situation. Punjab, though, will be flying very high after having chased down 262 a couple of nights ago. Jonny Bairstow is back in form, and Shashank Singh has been excellent. The Punjab Kings have also beaten Chennai at the Chepauk last year and should come in with a lot of confidence after showing a powerful performance with the bat.
Date: May 1st, 2023
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: MA Chidhambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai
Humidity and some dew are expected through the course of the evening.

Chepauk was deceiving in the previous game. The track looked seemingly hard, but there were a lot of turns and grips throughout the game. Chepauk now looks more like its traditional self, with the ball slowing down as the innings progresses, and batting first is a better choice.

Ajinkya Rahane
Ajinkya Rahane continues to struggle. His straight bat shots look pretty solid and at the top he usually would feel at home. The runs, though, are still not flowing off his bat as they did last season, and with the business end coming soon, Rahane has his work cut out.
Jonny Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow finally showed up. He dominated against the Knight Riders, showing his own power and ability to find the fence. An in-form Jonny Bairstow will be interesting to watch going forward, especially on a track that gives batters a chance in the powerplay.

Matheesha Pathirana vs Shashank Singh: Indian domestic batters have generally done well against Pathirana. Sai Sudharshan took him on last season and a few are doing well this time too. Shashank Singh, in the form of his life, could have a trick up his sleeve as well which will put CSK under a lot of pressure.
Chennai Super Kings stand favorites at home. PBKS are blooming and did win last season at this ground as well giving them a strong chance but Chennai may start as favorites marginally.
