Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
At the start the venue in Chennai looked like a great wicket to bat on but as we head into the second half of the campaign in the last few games, it seems the wicket has slowed down and spinners could make a significant impact in the game. We believe this would be a low scoring game and total runs would be low.
As we have stated earlier we expect this to be a low scoring game as both sides have a terrific bowling attack especially in the spin department which could play a vital role in this game. Considering all the facts that have been stated earlier, we believe the total boundary count to be low in the upcoming game.

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab 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 as we head into the business end of the campaign. One one hand a win for CSK would put them in the box seat to make the playoffs this season. On the other hand, a win for PBKS would keep them in contention as they need a near perfect record if they aspire to make the playoffs. The form of Ajinkya Rahane would be a cause of concern for CSK which can result in Rachin Ravindra coming back in the starting 11. One of the biggest downfalls this season for PBKS has been the absence of Shikhar Dhawan in the last few games. PBKS has struggled to get a good opening stand throughout the campaign and in five of the last six matches they have conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe CSK would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Top Team Batters
Ruturaj Gaikwad to be Chennai Super Kings’ top batter
We are going to go with Ruturaj Gaikwad as he has been in sensational form prior to this game. He has three half centuries and a century in the last five matches and with 447 runs thus far, Gaikwad is the leading run scorer for CSK which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Shashank Singh to be Punjab Kings’ top batter
Even though Jonny Bairstow scored a brilliant century in the last game, we are still going to stick with Shashank Singh as he has been far more consistent than his counterpart. With 263 runs thus far, he is the leading run scorer for PBKS which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Top Team Bowlers
Mustafizur Rahman to be Chennai Super Kings’ top bowler
Even though Mustafizur Rahman has struggled to make an impact on the road he has been seasonal for CSK on home turf where he has bagged 11 wickets in five matches. He has been a revelation and with 14 wickets, he is the leading wicket taker for CSK which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Harshal Patel to be Punjab Kings’ top bowler
After struggling to make an impact this season, Harshal Patel seems to have found his footing in the last few games as he has bagged seven wickets in the last three games and with 14 wickets thus far he is the leading wicket taker for PBKS which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
