PBKS vs CSK Dream11: Punjab Kings take on Chennai Super Kings in the 38th match of the IPL 2022. Punjab Kings with just 3 wins in 7 matches are hurtling towards an awkwardly familiar territory of having to treat every remaining game as a must-win in order to secure their first playoffs berth in eight editions. A loss here for either team can end their hopes of qualification.
