CSK vs PBKS weather report at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium

The IPL 2025 action is heating up as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on the confident Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. While both teams gear up for a high-voltage encounter, their journeys this season have been starkly different so far.

Punjab Kings have begun their campaign on a promising note, winning two of their first three games. Under the leadership of a red-hot Shreyas Iyer, PBKS appear to be firing on all cylinders. Their squad has shown both consistency and intent, and the atmosphere in the camp is electric with positivity. With their top order delivering and the bowling unit holding steady, PBKS look like genuine contenders this season.

In contrast, the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings have struggled to find their rhythm. After starting their season with a win, CSK have faltered in successive matches. Their inability to chase down totals and lacklustre batting performances have left fans and experts questioning the team’s form and strategy. Currently placed ninth on the points table with a net run rate of -0.891, the men in yellow need to regroup and reassess quickly if they want to turn their season around.

As the two sides prepare to face off, the match holds significant importance for both. PBKS will aim to consolidate their position in the top half of the table, while CSK are in desperate need of a win to reignite their campaign. With reputations on the line and form contrasting, this showdown promises to be nothing short of thrilling.

Weather report

The weather at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium is expected to be hot and dry, with temperatures around 38°C and humidity levels at 27%. Winds will blow at 21 km/h, making it breezy enough for comfort. However, as the sun sets and the match starts in the evening, the temperature is expected to drop, providing a much more pleasant environment for players and fans alike.

As far as the venue is concerned, trends from recent T20 games at the New PCA Stadium in Mullanpur suggest that setting a high first innings total is key. In matches where the team batting first posted a score of 170 or more, the outcome overwhelmingly favored them, with eight wins out of nine. However, when the first innings total was below 170, the chasing team won all four matches. This pattern indicates that the pitch tends to reward teams that apply scoreboard pressure with competitive totals, but also allows chasers to thrive when the target is relatively modest.
