CSK vs PBKS Highlights: Punjab Kings Defeat Chennai Super Kings by 4 Wickets

Punjab pulls off a stunning win, off the last ball, registering the most-successful chase against the Chennai Super Kings. Interestingly, they became the first team to defeat CSK in a day game while chasing. With three needed off the last delivery, Raza plays a shot over backward square-leg and ran for it. How often have you seen batters running for three runs off the last ball, well this was it.

“Be it for your country or your league side, it’s always a great feeling when you win a game,” said Raza to the broadcasters.

This victory has certainly taken Punjab Kings to fifth place on the points table with 10 points. On the other hand, CSK is placed fourth with as many points but with a better net run rate than Punjab – +0.329.

For CSK, Tushar Deshpande returned figures of 3 for 49, getting the Purple Cap as of now. He has taken a total of 17 wickets so far in the tournament.

Great display of character under pressure by substitute fielder Shaik Rasheed. A shot ball heaved by Jitesh and Rasheed catches it but he slips and the momentum of his feet took him too close to the cushions. Third umpire referred who finds no evidence that Shaik’s boot has touched the boundary cushion. Jitesh is given out and he walks out after scoring 21 off just 10 balls.

PBKS: 186/6 after 18.4 overs

Great shot from the PBKS keeper. A half-volley outside off, Sharma gets forward and lofts beautifully over extra cover.

PBKS: 170/4 after 17 overs

6, 6, 4lb, 6, W – An eventful over finally comes to an end with the wicket of Liam Livingstone. The English all-rounder whacked almost every ball to fast-track Punjab’s chase of 201 but ends up mistiming one of his biggies and Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a brilliant catch to end the drama.

15 overs have been bowled and Punjab Kings have too much to score. They have got just 129 on the board and need 72 more off 30 balls with 7 wickets in hands.

That’s a gorgeous shot and a much-needed boundary for the Punjab Kings. Fuller delivery, Curran gets down the track and drives it wide of extra-cover.

PBKS: 125/3 after 14.4 overs.

Sam Curran heaves a short ball from Pathirana that goes high up in the air. Great efforts from Rahane who runs back at mid-off but the ball just clears his dive.

CSK: 94/3 after 10.2 overs

The Punjab Kings opener was playing brilliantly but seems to be carried away as he moved down the line. Tossed up delivery from Jadeja, Prabhsimran beaten by the turn and Dhoni cheekily waits before flicking the bails off.

PBKS: 81/2 after 8.3 overs

Tushar Deshpande draws first blood, Shikhar Dhawan gone for 28. Right after smashing a boundary to bring 50 runs on the board, Dhawan outside edges a length delivery to Matheesha Pathirana for a simple catch at short third.

PBKS: 50/1 after 4.2 overs

The youngster came in as an impact substitute for Ambati Rayudu but he is struggling to leave an impact. Shikhar Dhawan smashes him for a couple of maximums as Punjab Kings score 36 runs in the first three overs.

PBKS: 36/0 after 3 overs
