Toss
CSK won the toss and chose to bowl first
Punjabbatting unit has been plagued by inconsistency all season. While they boast of power-hitters like Shikhar Dhawan, Liam Livinstone, and Shah Rukh Khan, consistency is something they would aim for.
Defending champions CSK have faltered in all departments this season. They haven't played the cricket they are known for under skipper Ravindra Jadeja, who has not been able to lead from the front.
While PBKS are placed eighth, CSK occupy the penultimate slot in theIPLpoints table.
CSK have won two out of their seven matches so far, whilePunjabKings are a touch better with three victories from seven outings.
