IPL 2022 CSK vs PBKS Dream12 Prediction, IPL Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI Updates Pitch Report, Injury Updates for Today’s IPL Match

Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings (CSK vs PBKS ) Players L: Chennai Super Kings have so far looked like anything but IPL’s defending champions and to effect a turnaround, new skipper Ravindra Jadeja will seek improvements on multiple fronts against Punjab Kings on Sunday.
They were forced to bowl all-rounder Shivam Dube in the penultimate over against Lucknow, which cost them 25 runs and took the match away from them. The CSK bowlers need to tighten things up to keep the opposition batters in check. Tushar Desphande and rookie Mukesh Choudhary struggled against LSG and will have their task cut out against a strong Punjab line-up, especially at CCI, where bowling hasn’t been easy.

Dwayne Bravo, now IPL’s leading wicket-taker, has been the standout performer, but he needs support from others. Skipper Jadeja has not been his usual self and needs to pull up his socks. After failing in the opening game, Chennai’s batting clicked against Lucknow. A vintage Robin Uthappa, a clinical Mooen Ali and an equally hard-hitting Dube were seen and they would be more than keen to repeat their performances.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, last edition’s leading run scorer, needs to get runs under his belt. Mahendra Singh Dhoni can be expected to do the job in the middle-overs and can play the role of a finisher. Punjab Kings, on the other hand, have quite a few big hitters in their ranks, but they faltered against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The toss is already playing a significant role in the outcome of the games. With the second innings dew in mind, teams are opting to chase and CSK will hope to be better prepared to bowl with the wet ball. Dew will be the vital part in this edition. If you win the toss, you will look to bowl first.
Smarting from a six-wicket defeat, Punjab will be eager to return to winning ways and would expect the batters to step up. With Mayank Agarwal, Shikhar Dhawan, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa at the top, Punjab can dominate the opposition attack with ease. Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan are also known to tonk the ball and will need to play the finisher’s role on a more consent basis. Punjab, who added Kagiso Rabada to their attack, came up short against KKR’s Andre Russell in the last match.
