Lucknow: The 49th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is being played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Chepauk. In this match, Punjab won the toss and decided to bowl first. Let us tell you that in their last match played on the same ground, CSK had defeated Hyderabad by 78 runs and registered a big win. At the same time, Punjab's morale would also be quite high because in their last match they had made the biggest run chase in the history of T20 cricket.

For Punjab, this match is like do or die because if they want to remain in this competition then it is necessary to win this match. On the other hand, Chennai would like to take another step forward towards the playoffs by winning this match but their path is not going to be easy.

A total of 28 matches have been played between these two teams so far, in which Chennai has won 15 matches, while Punjab has won 13 times.
