Head to Head
Chennai and Punjab have met 29 times so far, with Chennai winning 16 and losing 13. The last time these sides met was at this venue last year, when Punjab won by six wickets off the last ball. Chennai batted first to post 200 for 4. The chase by Punjab had its ups and downs, but eventually they won it off the last ball. Prabhsimran Singh scored an entertaining 42, while Liam Livingstone also had an energetic 40 to his name.
Chennai Super Kings Form
Chennai Super Kings are third in the points tally with ten points from nine matches. Four of their five seasonal wins have come at this venue.
The hosts are coming off a comprehensive 78-run win at this venue over the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In an entertaining game, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s 98 helped the Super Kings to post 212 for 3. The chase was never on as wickets kept tumbling. Eventually, Hyderabad could only post 134 off 18.5 overs. Tushar Deshpande took four wickets to derail the chase.
Ruturaj Gaikwad (447) is their leading batter, having regained his consistent scoring touch. With the ball, Mustafizur Rahman (14) is still their best bowler.

Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell are both unsettled, and one or both could be rested.
Punjab Kings Form

The lone win in that sequence came in their last match, an eight-wicket win over Kolkata. In one of the highest chases in T20 cricket, Punjab aced the 261-run target with Jonny Bairstow smoking a scintillating century (108 off 48, unbeaten).
Punjab have three batters aggregating 200, led by Shashank Singh (263). Bowlers have collectively done well, with four bowlers taking at least ten wickets, led by Harshal Patel’s 14.
