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).

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.

Both teams are at very different poles in the IPL 2025 points table. The inaugural IPL champions (2008), Rajasthan Royals, are in ninth place in the points table with only four points after nine matches (two wins and seven losses).

In the meantime, the IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans have 12 points after eight matches (six wins and two losses), winning their last two matches. They are dominating the points table.

While Rajasthan Royals are very much in a hopeless position in the points table, as their playoff hope aren’t present, Gujarat Titans are among the most powerful teams this season. RR batters and bowlers are highly inconsistent, while GT top-order batters and pacers have set great examples of consistency.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Jaipur) is ready to host its third game of the IPL 2025. In two matches of this season at this venue, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru won by nine wickets after successfully chasing the 174-run target in 17.3 overs, Lucknow Super Giants won by two runs by successfully defending the 180 total.

MI's top-order batting is the major issue, while their bowling is recovering well, especially after the joining of Jasprit Bumrah. Meanwhile, CSK's batting still has to provide confidence, while their bowlers' confidence can only return with stronger fielding support.

Last Friday (April 18), they faced each other in Bengaluru in a rain-curtailed 14-over game, where PBKS won by five wickets.

In the IPL 2025 points table, Punjab Kings have 10 points after seven matches with five wins and two losses. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have recorded eight points after seven games with four wins and three losses. 

Punjab Kings' powerful starts in the powerplay bring a strong advantage, while the skipper Shreyas Iyer has the full potential to carry on the innings properly. All-rounder selection is a big headache for the franchise, while Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Marco Jansen are their top bowlers.

RCB opener Phil Salt is busy providing fiery starts, while Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, and captain Rajat Patidar have the responsibility to control the innings. While they have strong bowlers like Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Krunal Pandya, but need more support from others.

IPL 2025, Match 37: PBKS vs RCB - Head-to-Head

Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Jaipur) will host the Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants (RR vs LSG) match on Saturday evening (April 19) during the 36th match of the IPL 2025.

Both Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants will play their eighth match of this season. Lucknow Super Giants have eight points with four wins and three losses, and Rajasthan Royals have four points after recording two victories and five defeats. 

While Rajasthan Royals' success is heavily dependent on their top-order batting, it is struggling hugely. Also, RR bowling doesn't seem confident enough, especially from the support ends. 

In the meantime, Lucknow Super Giants' top-order batting is playing a major role in their success. However, their middle-order batting as well as bowling unit, especially the pace-bowling unit, needs more improvement.

For the Gujarat Titans, their top-order batters and pacers are the key strength. While the middle-order batters' roles are yet to be proven, spinners need to provide more support.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals' batting still doesn't have enough confidence, except for the consistent performers KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs. In the meantime, Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav are guiding the bowling attack.

Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will host the 32nd match of the IPL 2025 on Wednesday evening (April 16), which is the Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals (DC vs RR) match. 

Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals are in the second and eighth place, respectively, in the IPL 2025 latest points table. Delhi Capitals have eight points after five matches (four wins and one loss), and Rajasthan Royals have four points after six games (two wins and four losses).

The competition has now entered the crucial stage, where every mistake will cost the team hugely.

Rajasthan Royals' top-order batters need to take more responsibility, as their consistent performances will be key to their success in the tournament. RR bowlers are also struggling to maintain their consistency level.

The Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders (PBKS vs KKR) match will be played in the 31st match of the IPL 2025. Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium (Mullanpur) will host it on Tuesday evening (April 15).

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders are in the fifth position in the IPL 2025 points table after six matches, while Punjab Kings are in the sixth place in the same points table after playing five matches. Both teams have earned six points each after KKR recorded three wins and three losses, and PBKS recorded three wins and two losses. 

Punjab Kings' bowlers have struggled this season, while Lockie Ferguson's absence for the remainder of the tournament will hurt them more. Some of their batters have impressed, including the top two names, captain Shreyas Iyer and opener Priyansh Arya.

The Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings (LSG vs CSK) match will be played on Monday evening (April 14) in the 30th match of the IPL 2025. Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (Lucknow) will host this game.

Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings are in totally different forms. In the IPL 2025 points table, the fourth-placed LSG have eight points after six matches (four wins and two losses), and CSK are in the last position with only two points after six games (one win and five losses). While LSG won their last three games, CSK lost all their last five fixtures. 

Lucknow Super Giants' top-order batting is their main strength. Although the most expensive IPL auction player Rishabh Pant, the LSG captain, is struggling to find his form, the top-order batters' powerful roles have proven enough till date. LSG pace bowlers still need to improve in the quality.

Chennai Super Kings' batters and fielders both have created major issues, while there are no solid top-order batting performances. The five-time IPL champions are completely clueless at the moment, as they are struggling to handle any kind of pressure on the field. The time is moving on faster, and CSK must need to improve their all-round performances to return to the tournament in a stronger position to challenge others.
