Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
This IPL season has been a graveyard for bowlers as this season has been all about the batting dominance and even on venues where historically we have seen teams struggle to score big have offered nothing to bowlers. The wicket in Dharamsala would be another great wicket to bat on and we believe total wickets in the game would be below 12.5.
As we have stated earlier we expect this to be a high scoring game as the wicket would suit the batsman. Considering the fact both sides have terrific batting attack especially in the middle order we expect this to be a high scoring game and total runs in this fixture to be extremely high.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss Prediction
Historically the venue has favoured the team bowling first. Last two of the three games at the venue have been won by the chasing team which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bowl first.
Weather Report
With 10% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 27C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 18C.

Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Betting Odds
Chennai Super Kings to have a better opening partnership than Punjab Kings
Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings head into this game with both sides desperate for points. PBKS have had an underwhelming campaign thus far and looked down and out but with two wins in the last two games have given them hope but need a strong finish to make the playoffs this season. On the other hand, CSK have under performed in the last four matches as they have lost three games and are currently outside the top four which makes this game a potential four pointer. Both sides went head to head in the last game as defending champions got outclassed by PBKS top order. Even with all the struggles, CSK managed to have a better opening partnership in the match and in the last three games they have managed a better opening stand which makes us believe, CSK would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Top Batters
Shashank Singh to be Punjab Kings’ top batter
Even though Jonny Bairstow has been brilliant since he came back into the starting eleven, we are still going to stick with Shashank Singh as he has been far more consistent than his counterpart. With 288 runs thus far, he is the leading run scorer for PBKS which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Chennai Super Kings’ top batter
We are going to go with Ruturaj Gaikwad once again as he was sensational in the last game against PBKS as he scored a half century and CSK managed to post a respectable total in the first innings. With 509 runs thus far, Gaikwad is the orange cap holder which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings Top Bowlers
Harshal Patel to be Punjab Kings’ top bowler
Even though Harshal Patel did not have a great game in the last outing against CSK, we are going to stick with him as wicket would favour fast bowlers and he has been brilliant in the last few games for PBKS. With 14 wickets thus far he is the leading wicket taker for PBKS which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Matheesha Pathirana to be Chennai Super Kings’ top bowler
Matheesha Pathirana has had injury problems this season as he has missed four games thus far but when he is fit he has been a menace for the opponents as he has the potential to single handedly turn the game. Pathirana has bagged 13 wickets in six matches which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
