The Chennai Super Kings will fight against the Punjab Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium at Chepauk in Chennai on April 30. Chennai’s nightmare continues as they are just not able to win games and are at the bottom of the table with just two wins to their name. Punjab, on the other hand, have won five matches and are placed fifth in the table.
Chennai fought against Hyderabad in their previous game, where Chennai was asked to bat first. Chennai, as usual with the bat, struggled, and even some hitting from Brevis took the team to just 154. In reply, Hyderabad struggled as well, but this total was never going to be enough. A decent partnership towards the end, and they won the game by five wickets.
Punjab faced Kolkata in their last match, where Punjab won the toss and elected to bat. And as one would expect, they had an explosive start with Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, with both scoring half-centuries. Punjab put up a good total of 201 runs on the board. The second innings could not happen due to rain, and the match ended in a no-result.
Although the Chepauk pitch is known to provide spinners some assistance, it has recently performed admirably in white-ball cricket. Expect comparable batting circumstances on a pitch that is suitable for stroke-makers in the high-octane match between CSK and KKR. The hitters had a great season last year, with an average first-inning score of nearly 170. Contrary to usual, CSK has been losing home games this season, which they will need to look into.
Winds up to 19 km/h with gusts up to 43 km/h are forecast from the south. However, there is a slight chance of precipitation, with no thunderstorm. 2% precipitation chances with 0.0 mm of precipitation and 0% thunderstorms are forecasted. About 73% humidity and 68% cloud cover will make it a very hot and humid evening on the field. The temperature is predicted to peak at 36 degrees during the day with the real feel of 43 degrees and drop to 28 degrees with the real feel of 34 degrees at night, with a slight decrease during playtime.
