Punjab Kings dominate Chennai Super Kings, securing a 7-wicket victory at Chepauk. Just as they did in the last edition of the Indian Premier League, Punjab Kings have once again defeated the defending champions, showcasing a clinical performance at the latter’s home ground in Chepauk.
Shashank Singh has done it previously and he can do it again. Punjab need 17 runs to seal the deal at Chepauk and Shashank is the man to get the job done. He did smash a six after Rahman’s maiden over. But dew is hampering Punjab’s chase.

Punjab Kings stand-in skipper Sam Curran has won the toss and decided to field first at Chepauk.
In the 28 encounters between both teams, the defending champions hold a slim lead with 15 wins over the Punjab Kings. Nevertheless, the latter have emerged victorious in their last three encounters against CSK.
Punjab Kings are buoyed by their recent feat of successfully chasing down the highest total in T20 history against the Kolkata Knight Riders. While they’ve displayed strong cricket throughout the season, they’ve also suffered narrow losses. However, at this juncture, it’s imperative for them to consistently secure victories to strengthen their bid for the playoffs.
