IPL 2025: When is PBKS's Next Match? All you need to know about their Opponent, Probable XI, & head-to-head stats

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will head into their next IPL 2025 fixture with a lot to reflect upon after a disappointing 50-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals. Chasing a daunting 206, PBKS could only manage 155/9 despite Nehal Wadhera’s valiant 62 off 41 balls. The loss has put pressure on PBKS to bounce back, and their next game against the struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) presents the perfect opportunity to turn things around.

Meanwhile, CSK are also reeling from a poor start this season, having managed just one win so far. With their backs against the wall, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men will be desperate to spark a revival. Fans can expect a heated contest as both sides look to steady their campaigns.

Opponent and next match details

PBKS will next take on Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday, April 8, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mohali. The match begins at 7:30 PM IST, under lights, where both teams will look to bring their A-game and secure crucial points.

Opponent: Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Date: Tuesday, April 8
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mohali

Probable XI

Prabhsimran Singh (w), Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shashank Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, Azmatullah Omarzai, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Despite the loss, PBKS is expected to stick with a similar XI. Nehal Wadhera might push for inclusion again after his gritty innings. The top order will aim for more intent, especially from Iyer and Prabhsimran, while the likes of Stoinis and Maxwell will be key to providing the fireworks. On the bowling front, Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson showed flashes of form, but they'll need better support and execution as a unit against CSK.

Head-to-head record

In their 30 head-to-head encounters, CSK narrowly leads the rivalry with 16 wins, while PBKS has claimed victory in 14 matches. Both sides have registered massive totals in the past, highlighting the explosive nature of this matchup. With CSK looking to recover from a tough start and PBKS eager to redeem themselves after their loss to RR, the upcoming battle promises to be a thriller.
