Match Analysis : 

This match will be between 3 times title winner vs still searching for 1.The PBKS camp would hope for more of easy win when they take on Chennai Super Kings in their second fixture in the furnace of Wankhede. Both sides experienced contrasting start in their respective IPL campaign opener.
The Punjab Kings got off to the perfect start in IPL 2021 with a thriller win over the Rajasthan Royals. Riding on impressive knocks from KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda, the Kings were able to overcome Sanju Samson's special century. Punjab Kings cannot take the Super Kings lightly by any means. CSK have a very deep batting unit filled with firepower, and given how Suresh Raina has gone about things so far.
In the match against Rajasthan Royals, KL Rahul played a captain’s knock of 91runs. He was ably supported by big-hitting Chris Gayle (40) and Deepak Hooda (64). Rahul definitely won’t be a happy man with the performances of his bowlers. They need to work hard on the bowling area as they had a close escape against the Rajasthan Royals.
Youngster Arshdeep Singh (3/35) eventually emerged as Punjab’s savior. Besides Arshdeep, veteran Mohammad Shami (2/33) too had a decent outting with the ball  Apart from them all other bowlers have below average performance.
The Super Kings will have fond memories of playing the Punjab Kings. They beat them twice in the previous season, one of which cost KL Rahul and co. a place in the playoffs. Super Kings will take inspiration from skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and much improved bowling effort when they take on power packed Punjab Kings.
In the opening game of this edition IPL both the openers failed to get off to a good start but CSK put a competitive total of 188 with the loss of 7 wickets with the major contribution form Suresh Raina (54), Moeen Ali (36), Sam Curran (34), Ravindra Jadeja (26) and Ambati Rayudu (23).
CSK had major concern to look out for is his bowling department where all his big guns fail to fire in the last game. Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Sam Curran, Jadeja and Moeen Ali all were expensive and looked out of track.
