Chennai Super Kings could harm Punjab Kings' chances in the IPL 2025 playoff race as the teams clash in fixture #49 on Wednesday. This match at the MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium comes with our prediction of a home win. The team placings are correct up to 46 matches.
With four points, Chennai (W2, L7) are bottom of the points tally after last weekend’s matches. They are level on points with Rajasthan above them but with an inferior run rate. Punjab’s 11 points put them fifth in the standings (W5, L3, NR1) and only a point away from the three teams above them.
Chennai’s season has been poor from the beginning, with regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad missing in action and MS Dhoni failing to inspire. They come here after a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad at this venue last Friday.
That was their fourth loss in a row at this venue, after winning their first home game of the season.
Punjab lost their chance to win full points as rain spoilt their game against Kolkata last Saturday. That kept them winless in two games, having lost to RCB in their prior game.
The Kings have already defeated Chennai by 18 runs when the teams met in Chandigarh, but can they do a season double?

Our Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings Prediction
It has been a washout season for CSK as they languish at the bottom of the points tally. It will take a monumental effort for them to qualify for the playoffs, although they are still mathematically alive in the race. Their usual Chepauk fortress is also breached this season, but this could be their chance to break free. Punjab have a great chance to qualify for the playoffs, although their recent form at this venue has been iffy. They haven’t been dominant lately, and our Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings prediction is Chennai Super Kings wins the match.
