Punjab Kings return to their home ground at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, where they’ll face Chennai Super Kings on April 8 in Match 22 of IPL 2025. PBKS have had some strong moments this season, including two back-to-back wins. However, their last outing at home didn’t go their way. Now, the Kings will be aiming to bounce back in style and give their fans something to cheer about in Chandigarh.

What to Expect from the Pitch?
The pitch in New Chandigarh is known to favour batters. In the last 10 games at this venue, the average first innings score is around 170. The team batting first has had more success here, winning 60% of the matches. So, winning the toss and putting up a solid total could be the way to go.

Head-to-Head Battle
When it comes to past meetings, Chennai Super Kings lead the head-to-head with 17 wins out of 31 games, while Punjab Kings have won 14. But recent form tells a different story. PBKS have won 4 of the last 5 matches against CSK – including some strong performances with the bat, like their highest score of 201 in this fixture. CSK’s lowest in those games was 126, which shows Punjab have had the edge lately.

The Punjab Kings will look to carry that momentum and get back to winning ways at home. The squad has plenty of firepower with both bat and ball, and this is surely a side that can bounce back strongly.
