The second match of the Tuesday doubleheader is all set to be played between the Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Chandigarh. This will be the 22nd match of the Tata IPL 2025.
The Punjab Kings didn’t have a homecoming to remember as they lost to the Rajasthan Royals in their first home game of the season. After starting off their season campaign with two massive wins, Punjab has now lost one game and is currently placed 4th on the points table. Middle-order batting will remain in focus for PBKS as they will once again head to their home to take on CSK.
As far as the Chennai Super Kings are concerned, they have been clueless in their approach. Having won only a solitary game out of 4, the Super Kings have now lost three on the trot. Whether it’s batting or bowling, CSK have struggled in every facet of the game, and it seems like they have to rectify a lot of things to get going in this tournament. They currently stand 9th on the points table, and a win here is what they want to boost their confidence, especially after losing two of their last three games at home.
