Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings (CSK vs PBKS) has been scheduled for the 49th match of the IPL 2025. MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk, Chennai) will host this fixture on Wednesday night (April 30). 

In the IPL 2025 points table, CSK are in the 10th or last place with only four points after nine matches (two wins and seven losses), and PBKS are in the fifth position with 11 points after nine games (five wins, three losses, and one no result).

Five-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are totally clueless, as one more defeat will end their last hope for the IPL 2025 playoffs. Their batting is struggling, while their fielding performances are also poor. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are desperate to end their 10-year-long wait for the IPL playoffs.
