CSK vs PBKS IPL 2025 Match 49 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: Punjab Kings

Both Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings have good enough batting and bowling options. However, CSK batters are currently struggling, which is one of the main concerns for the franchise this season.

On the other hand, Punjab Kings are having an exceptional season, losing only three games in nine games so far. We can expect them to come out on top with a comfortable win over the struggling CSK side.
