Match 8 of the VIVO IPL 2021 will be played between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 16th at 07:30 PM IST.
PBKS won an absolute thriller in their first game against RR by 4 runs which was an absolute runfest. CSK, on the other hand, were blown away by a strong DC side and will be itching to get their first win of the season on board.
Although CSK lost their first game, they certainly have the experience and the ability to bounce back against a vulnerable PBKS bowling attack.
A warm evening is expected with the temperature expected to be around 30 degrees. The humidity as expected in this part of the world will be as high as 6%2. But there might also be a gentle breeze blowing at about 17 kmph.
The pitch at the Wankhede has been traditionally sensational for batting while the ball is hard and new. But there is a bit of help for the seamers up front this season. Dew plays a huge role in this part of the world and thus, sides would prefer chasing first. Scores in excess of 180 can be considered highly competitive.
