It is the deciding stage in the Indian Premier League 2025, where the result of the next few games will decide the playoff berths. The Chennai Super Kings have their last shot at the playoffs as they take on the Punjab Kings in the 49th match. The Super Kings went down against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. The Punjab Kings shared points with the Kolkata Knight Riders after rain washed away play.
The Chennai Super Kings have struggled with their form this season. They have lost seven out of nine games. The batting lineup has looked rusty, and the bowling attack hasn't troubled the opponents. The Punjab Kings are in good form and have won the last four out of five games against the Super Kings. It remains to be seen if the Super Kings can win here and keep their hopes alive.

MS Dhoni's team went down by 5 wickets against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. It is becoming one of their worst seasons, with the team sitting at the bottom of the points. They still have a technical chance of reaching the playoffs and need a big win in this game. Dhoni will expect a strong show from his players as the Punjab Kings are in good form this season.
The top order has been a pain for the team this season. Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre must deliver a good start in this game and lay a strong platform. The team expects runs in the middle order, and Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dewald Brevis will look to do well. Shivam Dube has batted well in the lower middle order and shall look to add quick runs with Deepak Hooda and Dhoni.
The bowling attack has struggled this season. Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj will look to put up a good show with the new ball, as the Punjab Kings have an explosive opening pair. The team needs tight spells from Noor Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle overs. Sam Curran and Matheesha Pathirana must do well in the ing role and avoid leaking runs like the earlier game.
The 17 year old has shown fealress aggression in the last two matches scoring 30 & 32 runs. He opens the innings for CSK and scores runs in quick-time. Given his current form, we back Mhatre to score over 18 runs against the Kings in today's match.
Dewald Brevis made an impact straight away top scoring in his first ever outing in the yellow jersey at Chepauk. He scored 42 runs in 30 balls against SRH on a losing cause. But his footwork and timing of the ball against spinners makes him a valuable batter for CSK in today's match and we back him to continue his good form and score over 18 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja has scored 21 & 53 runs in the last two matches since his promotion to number 4. He has regained his form to some extent and is very familiar with the conditions at Chennai. In a must win match for CSK, expect Jadeja to come good and score over 19 runs.

Shreyas Iyer and his team would have been upset to have shared the points with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. They had a big score on the board, but rain played spoilsport in the second half. Iyer would like to exploit CSK's lack of form and win this game by a big margin to improve their position on the points table.
Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya put up a 120-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from this pair. Shreyas Iyer is batting well in the middle order, and he will look to add runs with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add firepower to the batting lineup, making it strong.
The bowling attack will look to exploit the poor form of CSK batters. Arshdeep Singh and Azmatullah Omarzai will look to get the early breakthroughs in this game. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal are in good form, and the team expects them to do well. Harpreet Brar and Maxwell add bowling options for the team.

It will be a hot and humid evening in Chennai with clear skies. The wicket will be challenging to bat on as the ball stops on the batsmen. We have seen an average first innings score of less than 160 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 160 on the board.

High TurnMA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, balances it out between the bat and the ball in T20 cricket. Batsmen have to spend their time at the crease to score runs here. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard have done well on this surface. Spinners enjoy the slowness on the track as this allows them to experiment with their variations.
We back the home team Chennai Super Kings to win the coin toss in match 49 of Tata IPL 2025.
The wicket has slowed down since the start of the tournament. It is a difficult wicket to set up a big total as batsmen struggle to time the ball. The team that chased the score in the last two games easily won. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first on this wicket.
The Chennai Super Kings will fight for their survival. The players have had an extended run of poor form and need to leave all that behind them to deliver a strong performance in this game. The Punjab Kings have their batsmen in good form and variety in their bowling attack. We expect the Punjab Kings to start favorites in this game going by the form and confidence of the two teams.
