Today’s Match Prediction
Despite their last two-match defeat, CSK is the favourites to upset PBKS and end the league season on a high note. Their previous match against Rajasthan Royals was a one-sided affair, with the Sanju Samson-led team chasing down 190 in 17.3 overs.

CSK, on the other hand, produced a great comeback against Delhi Capital but Delhi won in the final over. CSK’s players are in good form and will be confident in their ability to return to winning ways before the crucial playoff round.
