Punjab Kings Vs Chennai Super Kings, Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch IPL 2021 T20 Cricket Match

Check match and telecast details of the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket match between KL Rahul's Punjab Kings and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings

This is a fixture dominated by MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings. But the three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions will start as underdogs when they take the field against KL Rahul's Punjab Kings in the 8th match of the 2021 edition on Thursday in Mumbai.

So, CSK would look for inspiration from skipper Dhoni and a much-improved bowling effort after a poor start to their campaign. While CSK lost by seven wickets against Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings eked out a four-run win over Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring thriller.

In their first match, CSK posted a competitive 188 for seven, riding on fine contributions from Suresh Raina (54), Moeen Ali (36), Sam Curran (34), Ravindra Jadeja (26), and Ambati Rayudu (23). But they ran into Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw with the likes of Deepak Chahar, Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Jadeja and Moeen Ali all conceding big runs.

Punjab Kings, on the other hand, had a narrow escape against RR despite posting a mammoth 221 for 6 on the board. Rahul played a captain's knock of 91 off just 50 balls. He was ably supported by big-hitting Chris Gayle (40 off 28) and Deepak Hooda (64 off 28). But their bowlers too struggled.

With the dew playing a crucial role at Wankhede Stadium, the side winning the toss would want to bowl first.

Head-to-head: This will be their 24th meeting, with Chennai Super Kings leading the head-to-head record 14-9. CSK completed a league double last season in the UAE.
