IPL 2025: PBKS vs CSK Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today IPL Match 22?

In the last five PBKS vs CSK head-to-head clashes between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Chennai Super Kings, the former has enjoyed a lead of 4-1 over the Super Kings.

Both teams will play each other for the first time in IPL 2025 on April 08, 2025, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

The Chennai side's issue in the IPL 2025 has been their batting performance in the first six overs. In the previous encounter, they used Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra as the two opening batters. However, both Kiwi batters struggled in the fixture.

For the second consecutive game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the Super Kings captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, was dismissed looking to pull the ball into the boundary. Vijay Shankar tried hard for his half-century in the clash, but MS Dhoni lacked intent from the other end, as they faced another huge defeat in the season.

Punjab Kings come into the third fixture of the league with two consecutive victories before they faced their very first defeat against the Rajasthan Royals at home. Priyansh Arya and Shreyas Iyer couldn’t put up a show against the firing of Jofra Archer.

Nehal Wadhera batted well for his fine half-century, but he hardly got any support from the other end. The issue for the franchise is Yuzvendra Chahal’s form, which has put pressure on them to pick wickets in the middle overs. Lockie Ferguson has done a decent job, but the spinners’ lack of wicket-taking skills has been a blow to them.

PBKS vs CSK Player Prediction

Best Batter Prediction: Shreyas Iyer

The Indian middle-order batter for the Punjab Kings has led from the front. He had an incredible time in the Champions Trophy 2025, where he rescued the national side on multiple occasions. In the first two games, Iyer nailed two half-centuries. Even after the first-ball wicket, he drove Archer beautifully for a boundary before the pacer had the last laugh.

Best Bowler Prediction: Khaleel Ahmed

The left-arm Chennai pacer has done well in the powerplay for the Super Kings. Against Delhi, he picked up an early wicket in the very first over and helped the side to be in the game from the start. Even in the death and middle over, he is decent for the Gaikwad-led side. On the ground helping the pacers, he could find some early swing with the new ball.

PBKS vs CSK Winner Prediction

Looking at the current status of both sides, the Punjab Kings are way ahead of the Super Kings and should come out as winners of the game.
