IPL 2025: CSK vs PBKS, Match 49 – Stats Preview of Players’ Records and Approaching Milestones

Match 49 of the ongoing (Indian Premier League) will witness the hosts Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) is set to take place at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. Both teams are eager to grab those two points, while PBKS will look to break into the top four.

Their batting unit has struggled from the outset, while their bowling has often fallen short during the middle overs. In their last outing at Chepauk, they suffered a 5-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, further denting their campaign.

While Punjab Kings have looked more balanced this season, securing 5 wins, with 3 losses and one game washed out due to rain against KKR at Eden Gardens. A win in this match is crucial for PBKS to break into the top 4. While they’ve performed well in away games, home wins have eluded them, and they’ll be eager to add another victory to their tally.
