Pre-Match Analysis:

Transitioned Punjab Kings under new Head Coach Ricky Ponting and skipper Shreyas Iyer, made a roaring start to the IPL 2025 with impressive away win over Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants by 11 runs and 8 wickets respectively. However, their sweet start didn’t last long as they suffered a hiccup in their 3rd outing at home, losing quite easily against Rajasthan Royals.

The batting department which was instrumental in the early success didn’t able to produce the same magic in the tricky run-chase of 205 against Royals, settling for only 155 for 9. Nehal Wadhera’s valiant effort of 62 from 41 balls went unnoticed as the Kings endured their maiden loss. The side has a wonderful opportunity to get back to their usual winning ways against the out-of-sorts Chennai Super Kings. Currently, the Kings are positioned 4th in the standings with 4 points.

Old practices aren’t fetching the right results for Chennai Super Kings, who have been consuming a lot of dot balls in the IPL 2025 and the outcome is they only managed a solitary win from 4 matches. One of those instances was during their loss against Delhi Capitals, where Vijay Shankar (69* from 54 balls) and former skipper MS Dhoni (30* from 26 balls) didn’t ante up the required run rate.

It’s been entirely a bad phase for the franchise as they don’t have any resources in their bench to fix the woes. The existing batting line-up consisting of Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni, and Ravindra Jadeja must take up the onus and play according to the situation. The bowling outfit has done a decent job, with Noor Ahmad leading the wicket-takers chart in the league with 10 scalps. Incoming speedster Khaleel Ahmed has the 2nd most wickets (8) for the team. With one win and 3 losses, they are placed 9th in the standings with 2 points.
