Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings (PBKSvCSK): The 38th match of IPL 2022 will be played between PBKS vs CSK, the match will start at 07:30 PM IST on 25 April 2022 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- CSK has won two out of its previous three matches while PBKS has lost three out of its previous four
- PBKS has a number of selection and team balance issues to address
- CSK’s batting is a bit shaky but we think its bowling lineup should find success against PBKS
PBKS vs CSK Analysis:
IPL 2022 has been pretty fun so far with almost all the teams pretty evenly matched. The Punjab Kings came into the tournament with a blockbuster T20 squad and a very aggressive approach while the Chennai Super Kings came in with a squad that was aging and perhaps past its prime. Despite that, just one win separates the two teams who sit at 8th and 9th in the IPL 2022 standings right now.
The best IPL betting sites are still giving the Punjab Kings the tag of favorites but only by a small margin. Can PBKS find the right mix between aggression and restraint or will CSK find inspiration from Dhoni’s heroics in the previous match?

Match 38- PBKS vs CSK
Date: 25 April, 2022
Time: 07:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, India
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions in Wankhede have been very batsman-friendly so far but we expect something a bit different for this match. As we have mentioned, this is the third match in four days (and the second on successive days) to be played on the same square. While the pitches being used may be different, they are so close to each other that they will be affected as well. Sharp spin as the match goes on may be in store and using the powerplay to your advantage is going to be crucial.
You can look to bet the ‘Under’ for Total Sixes, Total Runs, and other such betting markets.
Team Preview:
Punjab Kings (PBKS):
PBKS was trounced by DC on a pitch that offered a little bit of help to the spinners. Considering the fact that this is going to be the third match at the Wankhede in four days, we could see some spin on offer once more. There are a couple of questions regarding team balance that PBKS needs to answer.
Do they want to continue playing two overseas bowlers in Rabada and Ellis or would they like to add some batting cushion by including an all-rounder? Also, Jonny Bairstow is struggling for form so far and Bhanuka Rajapaksa must surely be getting impatient sitting outside! How long till Mayank Aggarwal is forced to make that swap?
The dependency of PBKS on Liam Livingstone is a bit concerning because he could also struggle once the wickets start to turn a bit. Currently, there have been five 50+ scores hit by PBKS, three of those coming from Livingstone’s bat. He has 226 runs in total and while Dhawan also has 214, the difference in strike rate is amazing.
Jitesh Sharma has been in good form and could be one of the underrated players to place a bet on.
Rabada and Chahar are the two bowlers that have had the most success for PBKS so far. You should choose between one of these two for the Top Bowler Punjab Kings betting market. With Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, and Nathan Ellis in the lineup, PBKS has a decent bowling unit but it is not one that is going to run through sides too often.
Likely XI: Mayank Agarwal (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow/Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Shahrukh Khan, Odean Smith, Kagiso Rabada, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora

Chennai Super Kings (CSK):
CSK came back from the dead to win against MI thanks to the brilliance of MS Dhoni at the death. That brought them their second win of IPL 2022 and with the table being so closely packed, they certainly have a chance of making it into the playoffs.
CSK’s batting lineup is also a bit thin and absolutely needs its top order to fire. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa have not been to score in unison this season although both of them have shown sparks of form. Uthappa, in particular, is making the most of batting at the top and has the most runs for CSK this season.
In the previous match, Santner, Rayadu, Dube, and Jadeja batted for CSK in the middle order. This is not a good batting lineup and can be put under pressure. There is a lack of power and with three out of the four being left-handers, not enough room to plan for matchups either.
From a betting perspective, we would bet on Shivam Dube to hit a six and on Ambati Rayadu to score some runs. Thankfully for CSK, Dhoni is playing well and so he adds depth to the lineup alongside Pretorius and Bravo.
CSK’s batting lineup is very different from PBKS in the way it has been assembled but if the pitch starts to take turn, CSK could be right in the mix.
The bowling is where we think CSK is going to get the better of PBKS in this match. Theekshana, Santner, Bravo, and even Pretorius are excellent at taking the pace off and using whatever grip the surface offers. They will be well aware of the struggles that PBKS had against DC and will look to exploit it.
A lot of spin and change of pace is on the menu when CSK bowls. You could look to bet on Dwayne Bravo or Maheesh Theekshana for the Top Bowler Chennai Super Kings betting market.
Likely XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Robin Uthappa, Mitchell Santner/Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja (C), MS Dhoni (wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo, Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary
