After chasing down the highest successful total in the history of the tournament, Punjab Kings will be eyeing another stellar win against the five-time former champions Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday.
PBKS, in their last match, went all guns blazing against the Kolkata Knight Riders to chase down 261 with 8 balls to spare. The chase was anchored by Jonny Bairstow, who scored an emphatic ton to take his team to victory. However, the team will be counting on the sting of the bowling unit backed by Kagiso Rabada and Arshdeep Singh.
