Background

The eighth match of IPL Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 will be played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings from 7:30 pm today at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.  Punjab Kings started their IPL campaign with a win. Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, had to face defeat in their first match.

Chennai Super Kings will aim to win their first match in IPL 2021. Punjab Kings will aim to continue their winning streak.

The biggest problem for Chennai is the presence of many aging players in their team, who have not played much cricket in the recent past.  Chennai's top-order batsmen will have to start well.  In the last match, Sam Curran had scored 34 runs from 15 balls in the end and powered his team to a fighting position.

Deepak Hooda scored 64 runs from 28 balls for Punjab Kings in their last game against Chennai.  Apart from Hooda, KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran and Shah Rukh Kahn will have to perform well in today's match.  At the same time, it is important for Chennai that its top order batsmen score runs.  Apart from this, CSK also need to concentrate on improving their bowling.

The pitch at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium is suitable for batsmen.  In such a situation, high scoring matche can be seen here once again.  After the ball gets old, it will become easy to score on this pitch.  Dew will also play a big role in this match. The team that wins the toss can decide to bowl first.
