In the 8th Match of Vivo IPL 2021, Punjab Kings will face yellow army Chennai Super Kings on 16th April 2021 Friday. This match will play at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, at 7.30 PM IST.

Preview

No doubt, the 8th game of the 14th season of Vivo IPL 2021 will be played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings. Chennai failed to win their first match of this season against Delhi Capitals. On the other hand, Punjab Kings started their IPL campaign by winning a close match against Rajasthan Royals.

CSK team looks rusty! Early wicket falls have been their main problem since the last season of IPL. Hopefully, they will resolve their issues soon and come back on the winning track very soon. The best thing for CSK is Suresh Raina, also known as Mr. IPL, is in great form. Though Dhoni looks in bad form, this veteran cricketer has a great record at Wankhede.

Both teams are looking very powerful on the paper and power pack of young and experienced players. When it comes to Punjab Kings, captain KL Rahul is in great form. Sixer King Chris Gayle and Deepak Hooda were two key players who can change Punjab’s game any time, whether they are batting first or chasing.

Punjab’s blowing lineup seems a little bit inexperienced, but CSK players need to plan properly against Mohammad Shami and Arshdeep Singh. These are two key bowlers for Punjab kings who can trouble the batsmen of CSK. Hopefully, we will witness a magnificent match this Friday night.
