CSK vs PBKS MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:
The Pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is expected to be on the slower side and assist the spinners who bowl slower through the air.
The evidence of which was on show during the last game between CSK and SRH, with the likes of Noor Ahmad and Ravindra Jadeja coming into play in the middle overs.
The batters will have to grind it out in the middle and should rely on traditional cricketing shots to score runs rather than going for the modern-day shots that are played in this format of the game.
Having said that, dew is predicted to play a major role in deciding the outcome of the game, a factor which came into play in the last game against SRH at this particular venue.
The effect of dew will make things easier for the batters as the ball will come nicely on the bat, and bowlers will find it difficult to grip the ball.
The result of the last match suggests that the team that wins the toss in the CSK vs PBKS game will look to bat first and post a total of somewhere between 170-180 runs for them to have a chance of winning the match.
A total of 90 IPL games have been played at the M. Chidambaram Stadium, which is the home ground of CSK and has witnessed several memorable matches.
Out of the 90 games, the team batting first has won 51 matches, while the chasing team has won 39 matches.
The highest successful chase at this ground is 213/4 by the Lucknow Super Giants against the Chennai Super Kings in 2024.
It would be fascinating to see how CSK performs with the bat against PBKS, because the team's batting lineup has found it difficult to put on a strong show so far with the bat.
The upcoming home game against PBKS is a crucial one for CSK as the five-time champions have had a forgettable outing at home in the ongoing season and have lost to RCB, DC, and SRH.
Conclusion
CSK would like to win the match against PBKS and get back to winning ways, along with the chance of making it to the playoffs in IPL 2025.
PBKS, on the other hand, would like to replicate the performance that they have delivered in all three departments of the game so far in the CSK vs PBKS game as well.
