PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025: Match 22 of the Indian Premier League 2025 will see Punjab Kings face off against Chennai Super Kings in what promises to be a high-pressure contest. While PBKS started strong this season, they come into this game after a heavy loss. On the other hand, CSK is struggling for form and desperately needs a win to turn things around.
Punjab Kings – Flying Start, Bumpy Ride
PBKS kicked off their season with a bang, scoring a mammoth 243 runs to defeat Gujarat Titans in their opener. They followed that up with another convincing win against Lucknow Super Giants. But things have taken a turn lately. Playing at home, they were crushed by 50 runs by Rajasthan Royals. Now, with 2 wins from 4 matches and a moderate net run rate, Punjab is currently placed fourth on the points table.
Chennai Super Kings – From Confident to Concerning
CSK began their season with a strong win over Mumbai Indians, giving fans hope. But since then, things have gone downhill. They’ve lost three games in a row—first to RCB (at home for the first time since 2008), then to Rajasthan Royals, and most recently to Delhi Capitals in Chennai, breaking a record since 2010. With just 1 win from 4 matches, the Super Kings sit at ninth in the standings.

Pitch Report – MYS International Cricket Stadium
The pitch in New Chandigarh has shown mixed behavior under lights. It tends to play on the slower side, making things tricky for batters—especially in the second innings if dew doesn’t settle. Spinners and clever pacers have had the upper hand here. However, with fewer visible cracks at night, batters can still score if they spend time at the crease.
Weather Report: PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Prediction
Expect hot and humid conditions during the evening. Temperatures will hover around the mid-30s (°C), and although some clouds may be present, there’s only a small chance of rain. Winds will be strong, and the humidity may impact player stamina and ball grip.
3 Key Players to Watch: PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Prediction
- Shreyas Iyer (PBKS): The Punjab Kings captain has been in terrific touch, scoring two fifties in the opening matches, including a stunning 97 in the season opener. He couldn’t get going in the last match, but his timing and confidence were still on display. Expect him to bounce back big in this clash.
- Khaleel Ahmed (CSK): Even in CSK’s recent loss to Delhi, Khaleel Ahmed stood out with his smart bowling. On a pitch that offers some grip, his variation and accuracy could cause serious problems for Punjab’s batting unit.
- Nehal Wadhera (PBKS): A young and fearless batter, Nehal Wadhera showed his potential with a well-compiled 64 off 41 balls in the last match. Though PBKS fell short, his knock was a lone bright spot and a sign of things to come.
PBKS vs CSK Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win?
Looking at recent form and overall team balance, Punjab Kings have the edge going into this contest. Chennai Super Kings are low on confidence and have struggled in all departments since their opening win.
