Punjab Kings will lock horns against the Chennai Super Kings in their next encounter at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Punjab was completely shattered in the previous game as they were all out for just 115 and ended up losing the game by a big margin of nine wickets with more than nine overs to spare. The strategy to go in with six batters and five bowlers did not pay off and they will need to add strength to their batting department, especially which has been on and off at times. They are likely to make changes to their playing XI and will be trying to bring in Rajapaksa who showed good signs early.
On the other hand, the Chennai Super Kings got over the line against the Mumbai Indians in their previous game on account of an excellent finish from MS Dhoni who turned back the clock. The bowling looked all sorted with the inclusion of Dwaine Pretorius and Mukesh Choudhary was outstanding with the new ball. They are likely to go in with the same side for the upcoming fixture as well.

Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium has started to assist the batters a lot and the previous game at the ground was a high-scoring thriller between RR and DC. The fast bowlers have found it tough to extract much from the wicket while the dew factor has started to play its part as well. The captain winning the toss will be looking to bowl first again going by the last few results.
