After performing well in the first half of the IPL 2025, Punjab Kings’ caravan has slowed down; the team will be playing their next match against Chennai Super Kings at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium on the 30th April. Punjab’s last match was abandoned due to rain, and the team received only one point from that match.

After several seasons, this time, Punjab has managed to perform well in the first half, winning five of the first seven matches. In the recent two matches, Punjab lost one against RCB by 7 wickets, while the last match against KKR was washed out, resulting in the team getting just 1 point despite scoring over 200 runs in their first innings. With five matches remaining, Punjab needs more victories to qualify for the playoffs. They are currently in fifth position in the points table with 11 points from 9 matches.
