The 53rd IPL 2024 encounter features Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). On May 5, the match will begin at 3:30 PM IST at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.
To maintain their hopes of making the playoffs, PBKS overcame CSK in the final game. With just four victories in ten games, PBKS’s hopes of making the playoffs are extremely slim. Winning all of PBKS’s remaining games is the only way they can make it to the postseason. The squad will be able to qualify for the playoffs with 16 points thanks to this.
In contrast, CSK has lost as many of their ten games as they have won. CSK’s prospects of making the playoffs were severely damaged by their loss to PBKS. To qualify, CSK must win three of the final four matches. With just one home match remaining against the top-seeded Rajasthan Royals, the club is in desperate need of victory over PBKS. Since it won’t be an easy game, CSK must defeat PBKS to have a chance of qualifying even if they lose to RR.
The squad led by Sam Curran has played mediocrely in certain matches and brilliantly in others. They defeated CSK by 7 wickets in their most recent match, showcasing their form. Curran is excited to face the same team and try to duplicate their accomplishment. They won’t be taken lightly by their opponents, and Curran expects his men to play with passion.
Prabhsimran Singh, who has performed well at-bat this season, will try to get off to a strong start alongside Jonny Bairstow, his seasoned partner. Sam Curran, Shashank Singh, and Rilee Rossouw should all get runs for the team, which boasts a strong middle order. In the lower middle order, Jitesh Sharma, Ashutosh Sharma, and Harpreet Brar will try to do the heavy lifting.
Alongside Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, who returned to form in the previous match, will try to bowl a tight spell with the new ball. Sam Curran and Rahul Chahar need to both tighten up on the scoring in the middle overs and enhance their line. In the supporting roles, Harpreet Brar and Harshal Patel need to perform effectively.
Punjab Kings Squads
Sam Curran (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Shashank Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Rilee Rossouw, Harpreet Brar, Kagiso Rabada, Harshal Patel, Rahul Chahar, Arshdeep Singh, and Prabhsimran Singh (Impact Player).
Ruturaj Gaikwad is going to be anxious. In the most important part of the season, his team has lost its form. They must find their form and confidence again after dropping their past three games in a row. Gaikwad wants to snap the team’s three-year losing run against the Punjab Kings, with whom the team has struggled.
The middle order hasn’t performed well; therefore, the squad needs a strong start from Ajinkya Rahane and Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top. In the middle order, Sameer Rizvi, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube need to bowl well. The batting is strengthened by the addition of firepower from Moeen Ali, Daryl Mitchell, and MS Dhoni.
Due to their recent struggles, Tushar Deshpande and Shardul Thakur need to bowl well with the new ball. The team’s three main bowlers, Richard Gleeson, Maheesh Theekshan, and Jadeja, will be very important throughout their middle-overs periods. This bowling assault gains depth from Moeen Ali and Dube.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala
Because they can play an extra batter due to the Impact player rule, which makes defending a score difficult these days, the captains will choose to chase if they win the toss.
With a temperature in the early 20s, the weather will be comfortable. In addition, there is a 20% probability of rain in Dharamsala.
Early on, the quick bowlers at HPCA will benefit from the surface. Still, as the match goes on, batting will grow better. Consistent bounce and pace will provide value for shots, and a quick outfield will guarantee it. Here, about 180 should be considered average.
These two teams have met in five encounters so far, where CSK won’t one game, and all matches were won by PBKS.
