It’s time for the five-time IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings, to get their reputation back. Currently, in the ongoing IPL season, what we’re witnessing is CSK suffering multiple losses. A team that has shown dominance over the years has now managed just one win from four games and is placed 9th on the table.
They are now set to meet a team that’s currently thriving — Punjab Kings, who have won 2 out of their 3 matches so far and are placed fourth. Overall, they’ve been doing well.
Both teams will face off at the Mullanpur Stadium, where batting first could be rewarding. The highest IPL total on this ground so far is 205/4, while the lowest score is 142, showing a mix of big scores and average totals, making the conditions a bit unpredictable.
Teams batting first have won 3 matches (50.00%), and teams chasing have also won 3 — making it an interesting balance as well.
Regarding the highest run chase at Mullanpur Stadium in T20s, the sample size is still low due to it being a relatively new venue with limited matches played. But take a look at the highest successful run chase in T20s at the Mullanpur Stadium.
