CSK vs. PBKS, Match No.49 IPL 2024, Dream11 Team Prediction Today’s Match, Captain & Vice Captain, Match Prediction & Pitch Report

In the clash of the kings, Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings will fight for two points at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Chennai and Punjab are performing in the exact opposite way in this IPL season, where CSK is sitting in third place with five wins from nine matches, while PBKS are eighth in the points table, having won just three of their nine games so far. CSK will fancy their chase against an out-of-form Punjab team at their home ground. But righting off this Punjab team will be a mistake, as we have seen many great comebacks from this team in this IPL season. So it will be a tough encounter for both teams, making it difficult for cricket pundits to predict who will win today’s IPL match.

Chennai are playing at their home ground, and they have a great record at home, winning more than 70% of the matches at MA Chidambaram. But Punjab is a team known for causing upsets, so it will be interesting to see who will win today’s IPL match.

CSK vs. PBKS: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, Pitch Report 

Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium is renowned for its spinner-friendly pitch, and at this time of the IPL, the surface at MA Chidambaram will suit to spinners more due to the used wickets. Used wickets generally make it easier for the ball to grip the surface, which helps spinners get more turn from the wicket. However, the surface at Chepauk has changed in the last few years and we have seen more high-scoring encounters at this venue in recent times. Chasing has always been a good option here because of the dew in the second inning, which neutralizes the spinners and makes it easy for batters to score. The last match CSK played here won batting second. So it will be a good option on Chennai’s pitch to win the toss and bowl first. 

Toss Impact 

The toss has no bearing on how the game turns out at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. At this venue, the team that lost the toss won the match 26 times, while 30 times toss winning team emerged victorious from 56 games played here. Therefore, the situation is nearly balanced, making the toss outcome less significant at Chepauk Stadium:
