With two wins from three games, PBKS are still in the top half of the points table and will be looking to get their campaign back on track.

CSK, on the other hand, are languishing at the ninth spot in the points table with just one win from three games. After opening their campaign with a win over Mumbai Indians, CSK have lost three games in a row. In their last game, they suffered a 25-run defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals and will look to revive their campaign with a win in the upcoming match.
