Today Match Prediction for PBKS vs CSK Dream11:It is the battle between the kings as Punjab Kings take on Chennai Super Kings. Both teams have played one game each so far and that game reflected the team’s previous year’s woes. Although PBKS won their first match, their bowling performance is giving them headache. Chennai on the other hand, need better finishing by their batsmen and in bowling they looked clueless. So it will be interesting to see whether Chennai has found answers to their pressing issues.

The PBKS camp would hope for more of plain sailing when they take on Chennai Super Kings in their second fixture in the furnace of Wankhede. On paper, it is a cabinet filled with no trophies versus three IPL trophies. However, CSK's form of late hasn't exactly been great. The franchise also began IPL 2021 on a shaky note, losing to Delhi Capitals. More importantly, on a typical Wankhede surface, offering even bounce, CSK seemed to be lacking a pace-enforcer. Despite Suresh Raina returning to the CSK set-up with an aggressive hand, the Chennai camp would be a tad concerned about their top-order woes as well.

What to expect:The track at the Wankhede Stadium is a mixture of red and yellow soil with enough clay content. So one expects even bounce and high-scoring games in the abridged versions of the game. The pacemen too find some assistance. In RR's second fixture against DC, pace bowlers from both sides generated a hint of swing and extracted movement off the seam. The dew factor could also come into play.

Punjab Kings Team News:

Tactics & Matchups - "The field was set, the plan was to make Samson play wider, the plan was to bowl wide yorkers to Samson," Arshdeep had said after restricting the Rajasthan skipper in their opening game. Incidentally, the same bowler had employed the round the wicket angle and bowled into the wicket against a string of right-handers to run through Sunrisers Hyderabad's batting order in the end overs in the last IPL. The two spells indicate he is a quick-learner and bowls to a field that is set in the death overs. In the upcoming game against CSK, he could run into a couple of left-handed batsmen - Sam Curran and Ravi Jadeja - lower down the order. It would be interesting to see the angle that he uses against the batting duo. On the batting front, one of the match-ups to watch out for is KL Rahul versus Deepak Chahar upfront. Despite Chahar possessing the ability to swing it both ways, he has never dismissed Rahul in the IPL.

Playing Combination: The duo of KL Rajul and M Agarwal will open the innings while the likes of C Gayle and N Pooran will form the middle order. R Meredith, M Shami and A Singh will be lead pacers.

D Hooda was Punjab’s surprise package in the last game. He blasted 64 runs from 28 balls with 4 fours and 2 sixes. He has made 1782 runs in 100 T20 innings at an average of 22.84 and has a strike-rate of 137.6. in 107 IPL games and has made 2584 runs at an average of 27.78 and has a strike-rate of 133.74.
