PBKS vs CSK Head to Head Records | Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings H2H Stats | IPL 2021 Match 8

PBKS vs CSK Head to Head Records: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the eighth match of IPL 2021.

The eighth match of the ongoing 14th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai tomorrow.

In what will be a second consecutive match between two wicket-keeper captains, it is expected to be another high-scoring clash at the Wankhede Stadium.

Kings, who started their campaign on a winning note by beating Rajasthan Royals by 4 runs, will be targeting another victory despite their lacklustre record against Super Kings over the years.

Unlike Punjab, Chennai kick-started this season with a loss as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his bowled failed to restrict Delhi Capitals last week. With fast bowler Lungi Ngidi having completed his mandatory seven-day hotel quarantine, it will be interesting to see which overseas player will sit out to accommodate him in CSK’s Playing XI.
