Punjab Kings (PBKS) had a chance to add two more points to their tally in their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Kolkata, especially after posting 201 on the board while batting first. But the match was not complete due to rain, and as a result, both teams were awarded one point each.
With 11 points in nine games, they are currently in fourth spot with a net run rate of +0.177. Now, they will face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the next game in Chennai. Considering the current form of MS Dhoni’s men, PBKS should display a dominant show, but still, CSK in Chennai could be a tricky opposition for them. In the reverse fixture, PBKS won by 18 runs in Mullanpur.

PBKS Probable XI
Prabhsimran Singh, Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (capt), Josh Inglis (wk), Shashank Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Glenn Maxwell, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.
PBKS might stick to the same playing XI from their last game against KKR, as these players have been performing decently in all three departments throughout the tournament. The opening duo of Priyansh and Prabhsimran have been superb with all the blistering starts.
Then, captain Iyer at number three, followed by Josh Inglis, Shashank Singh, and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, and Azmatullah Omarzai will be the three foreign all-rounder options. Chahal will be the lead spinner, while Arshdeep will also be there as one of the frontline options.
