The first match on Sunday is between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. PBKS beat CSK in Chepauk in the reverse fixture.
Sam Curran-led Punjab has defeated Chennai in five consecutive meetings. Earlier, five-time champions Mumbai Indians had the record of defeating Chennai. PBKS has a chance to beat CSK in six straight encounters. To reach the playoffs, PBKS has to win every game from now.
CSK, on the other hand, is in the 5th spot, but they go through some injury problems. To secure their place in the top 4, they will try to win this match and strengthen their position. So, this encounter will thrill one you won’t want to miss.
Remember these points at the time of building the Dream11 Fantasy Team:
- Prabhsimran Singh and Arshdeep Singh will be playing as PBKS’s Impact Player.
- Mitchell Santner, and Tushar Deshpande will be back in the CSK squad.

PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Prediction
CSK, currently in fifth rank, needs a win to gel their playoff events, while PBKS, at the eighth spot, needs a win to stay in the playoff race.
In that scenario, PBKS vs CSK Dream11 prediction will be highly challenging. Both teams have power-hitting batting lineups and inconsistent bowlers.
So, in this high-scoring pitch, batters definitely can change the momentum of the game. We can expect it will be a high-octane game where anything can happen.
