Pitch Report:
The Mullanpur surface has offered good pace and bounce so far, making it ideal for stroke play early in the innings. Seamers will get help with the new ball, but the true nature of the pitch favors batters once they settle in. Dew is likely in the second innings, giving chasing sides a clear advantage. Expect a par score in the 175–185 range.
Weather Report:
Chandigarh will witness warm conditions during the day, cooling off by match time. Temperatures are expected to hover around 28–30°C in the evening. Clear skies and no rain threat ensure a full game.
Wicketkeepers: Prabhsimran Singh
Batters: Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra
All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Ravindra Jadeja, Marcus Stoinis
Bowlers: Arshdeep Singh, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana
Punjab Kings are riding a wave of momentum and seem to have finally found their rhythm, both at home and away. With a powerful top order, reliable finishers, and a bowling unit that has delivered under pressure, PBKS will look to make the most of their home advantage.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, bring experience and composure to the table. The likes of Jadeja, Gaikwad, and Pathirana can turn a game around in moments. However, inconsistency in the middle order and lack of firepower in the powerplay could hurt them against an in-form Punjab side.
Prediction: Punjab Kings start as slight favorites, especially with the home crowd backing them in Mullanpur.
