Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered their first defeat of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season in their last match. Quite unexpectedly, it came at home for this Punjab outfit, who have now won just once in their last six games at the newly constructed Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.
If PBKS are looking to improve their home record, they will have to do it the hard way, as they face five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their next home league game. This match will be played at 7:30 PM (IST) on Tuesday evening.
Having said that, Punjab have a golden opportunity to improve not only their home record but also their record against CSK, as the visitors have lost their last three matches leading up to this game.
IPL 2025 PBKS vs CSK Pitch Report, Venue Stats
The pitch at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh has offered good bounce and carry, but teams have struggled to post big totals consistently. Punjab Kings have lost five of their last six matches at this venue, including a 50-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the last outing. The surface tends to ease out under lights, making chasing a bit easier. However, shot selection will be key, as reckless batting has led to collapses here. Expect a balanced contest between bat and ball when Punjab Kings take on Chennai Super Kings in this crucial evening fixture.
