Who has the upper hand in Punjab and Chennai (PBKS vs CSK Head to Head)
So far, a total of 29 matches have been played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, in which Chennai has won 15 matches, while Punjab has won 14 matches. In this way, Chennai seems to have the upper hand to some extent, but Punjab cannot be taken lightly, because now all the matches are important for Punjab to reach the playoffs. Another thing is that Dharamshala is the home ground of Punjab Kings. In such a situation, the match with Chennai will be played in Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium. Now if we talk about the pitch of HPCA Stadium, then fast bowlers often get help on this pitch. But, it has also been seen many times that in the first innings, the batsmen score a lot of runs and put a big score on the board. Due to which chasing becomes difficult. In such a situation, a high scoring match can be seen between PBKS vs CSK on Sunday. At the same time, the team winning the toss can choose to bat first.
