CSK beat PBKS by 28 runs. They didn't have too many runs on the board but in the end 167 proved to be enough. Ravindra Jadeja the star with the ball and bat for the Men in Yellow. They go to 12 points.
36 runs needed to win off 6 balls. 1 wicket in hand. Practically, only formalities remaining to decide the margin of defeat for PBKS.
And so it's only a matter of time before CSK win this. Shardul Thakur cleans up Chahar for 16 off 10. PBKS- 117/9 after 17.3 Overs.
Harshal Patel Departs. It's been that kind of a batting performance from PBKS. He might have scored a SIX and a FOUR off successive deliveries to end their bondary drought in the innings but Harshal tries to continue to go bang bang and perishes. Sameer Rizwi takes the catch running in from midwicket. PBKS- 90/8 after 14.4 Overs.
Ashutosh Sharma may have been dropped in the previous over but Ashutosh can't make it count. Outside edge and it's caught at short third. Ashutosh falls for 3 off 10. PBKS-78/7 after 12.3 Overs.
Sam Curran walks back. PBKS lose their sixth and the second wicket for Jadeja in this match. Pressure tempting Curran to go for the big hit but he gets caught at long off. PBKS- 77-6 after 12.1 overs.
It's a golden duck for Jitesh Sharma. CSK are not going down without a fight. It's a short and wide ball from Simarjeet that Jitesh tries to go after but it's only and edge and through to Dhoni. Massive wicket this. PBKS 5 down for 69 in 9.4 overs.
Second wicket in two overs. This time it is Prabhsimran Singh who is foxed by Jadeja. Goes for the lofted shot but does not get the distance on that one. PBKS four down for 68. Game on. PBKS- 68/4 after 9 overs.
Curran new man in for PBKS.
Shashank scored a boundary against Santner to bring up the fifty of the stand but next ball he has been deceived by Santner and ends up mishitting to long on where Simarjeet Singh gets out for 27 off 20. CSK- 62/3 after 8 overs.
A flurry of boundaries post the two wickets. First a four and SIX by Shashank and Prabhsimran against Gleeson before a SIX and a FOUR off successive balls to start Deshpande's over from Prabhsimran. Shashank added FOUR more off the fifth ball of the over. PBKS end powerplay at 47/2 after 6 overs. Shashank Singh- 18* off 12, Prabhsimran Singh- 20* off 15.
Richard Gleeson comes in one change for CSK.
Shashank Singh joins Prabhsimran in the middle.
There is life alive in this game. It's not going to be a straightforward chase for PBKS. Deshpnade, who is sharing the new ball with Santner, has taken 2 wickets in the over. He first removed Bairstow before seeing the better of Rossouw. PBKS- 9/2 after 2 overs.
Out come the Punjab Kings openers- Prabhsimran Singh and Jonny Bairstow. For CSK, Mitchell Santner has the ball in hand.
CSK Finish AT 167/9. That was the average score batting first in afternoon games at this venue, remarks Murali Karthik on air and that is what they have managed PBKS need 168 to win. Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel the pick of the bowlers for PBKS. Will be back with the chase.
And Jadeja falls after mistiming a slower ball pitched halfway on the pitch. He falls for 43 off 26. CSK- 164/9 after 19.4 Overs.
Arshdeep then bowls a wide but it's followed by a slot ball which Jadeja deposits over long on for a maximum. Past 160 now.
A four first ball and a couple off the bat of Jadeja to begin the 20th over. Jadeja the batter. Arshdeep the bowler.
Deshpande New Batter for CSK.
2 Runs, 2 Wickets Off The 19th over. What a spell as he finishes with figures of 3/24 in his 4 overs.
Dhoni out for a golden duck. Not what the fans wanted to see but what a delivery from Harshal. A slower yorker that even the best finisher couldn't get bat on. He departs of 0 off 1. CSK-150/8 after 18.5 Overs.
Thakur Is Cleaned Up for 17 off 10. But listen to the crowd as in walks MS Dhoni.
Jadeja gets the maximum. Against Chahar. This after Thakur's boundary earlier in the over allow CSK to add 13 more runs to the total. Valuable runs these for CSK. They are 149/6 after 18 overs.
And A 14-Run Over. Much needed for CSK. Shardul Thakur with a four and a dropped catch of his that was parried over the ropes for a six. Curran the bowler. CSK- 136/6 after 17 overs.
Surprise, Surprise. Still no MS Dhoni. It's Shardul Thakur who walks in ahead of him.
Once again Chahar comes on to bowl immediately after the time out and gets a wicket. This time it's the last ball of the over. Santner tried to go for the big hit but doesn't strike it clean enough and it's caught in the deep at long on. Captain Curran takes the catch. Santner out for 11 off 11. CSK- 122/6 after 16 overs.
Santner, realising that they need to take the attack to the opposition as well, goes for the boundary and manages to find the fence as well. 8 runs coming off the over. After 15 overs, CSK-117/5. 8 coming off that Arshdeep over. Ravindra Jadeja-18* off 14, Mitchell Santner- 9* off 8. TIME OUT!
Mitchell Santner new batter in for CSK.
Just when it looked like CSK are getting a move on, they have lost another wicket. Moeen Ali falls. He has hit that one straight up in the air and Bairstow at short fine leg completes the catch. CSK- 101/5 after 12.4 Overs.
And now Moeen Ali joins the party. He finds two boundaries off Rabada's third over. CSK- 99/4 after 12 overs.
That should break the shackles for CSK. Jadeja finds successive boundaries to finish the 11th over of the innings, it was being bowled by Harshal Patel. Chennai- 90/4 after 11 overs.
Ravindra Jadeja New Batter for CSK. He joins Moeen. Two left-handers in the middle for the Men in Yellow.
It's going bad to worse for CSK as Mitchell falls out LBW. He uses DRS but it's umpire's call and Mitchell will have to walk back. CSK- 75/4 after 8.5 overs. Harshal Patel gets the wicket.
Time for Harshal Patel into the attack.
Moeen Joins Mitchell. Again a consolidating job on the cards for the pair.
Wow. The game has changed and how. First two balls after the break and Rahul Chahar has sent back Ruturaj Gaikwad (32 off 21) and the new man in Shivam Dube off successive deliveries. Both batters out caught behind. CSK- 69/3 after 7.2 Overs.
Curran concedes another boundary. IN his second over. That came off the bat of Mitchell first ball of the over and 5 singles followed. 9 runs off the over. CSK- 69/1 after 7 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad- 32* off 20, Daryl Mitchell- 27* off 15.
End of powerplay. CSK may have lost a wicket but they have not let that impact their scoring rate. At the end of 6 overs, they are 60/1. Harpreet Brar conceding 19 runs off the last over of the powerplay. Two fours and a six off the bat of Mitchell, 3 fours and a six off the blade of Gaikwad while Rahane scored a boundary before getting out. All of it happening inside the first 6 overs. Rabada, Arshdeep, Curran and Brar- the four bowlers used so far.
Mitchell In At 3 for CSK.
And Rahane departs. It's Arshdeep Singh who gets the wicket in his first over. Full and swinging into the right-hander, Rahane tries to play a flick but it's straight to Rabada at midwicket inside the circle. CSK- 12/1 after 1.5 Overs.
Rahane, Gaikwad open for CSK. Rabada and Arshdeep the new ball bowlers for PBKS.

There is still around 90 minutes for toss and team news in the first of the two matches in IPL this Sunday. Until then, click here to check out our IPL 2024 coverage.
Hello and welcome to everybody to our live coverage of the PBKS vs CSK IPL 2024 clash. What a contest this promises to be. CSK are currently at the fifth place on the points table with 10 points from 10 matches while PBKS find themselves at the eighth place with 8 points from 10 matches. PBKS won their match against CSK earlier in the season. Can they complete a double or will CSK avenge their defeat? Let's find out over the course of the next few hours.
Background
PBKS vs CSK Live Score, IPL 2024: Punjab Kings (PBKS) will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the first of the twin clashes this Sunday (May 5). Even though CSK are the most successful side in the history of the tournament with five titles to their credit, despite being barred from featuring in the competition for two season, PBKS remain only one of the two teams to have beaten them in five matches in a row. The only other team to achieve this feat is Mumbai Indians (MI) who also have five championships wins.
PBKS though have not won a title yet. However, this game could be a massive boost for them if they want to stay alive in the race to the IPL 2024 Playoffs and remain in contention of winning the title. Can PBKS win their sixth match on the trot against the Men in Yellow? PBKS will continue to be without the services of Shikhar Dhawan. In Dhawan's absence, stand-in captain Sam Curran will be looking to repeat the result of their last 2 outings where they beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and CSK- both of whom were placed above CSK in the points tally.
For Punjab, the strategy of Prabhsimran Singh and Arshdeep Singh being used as Impact Players depening upon whether they are batting first or bowling first has yielded results and they are likely to stick with the same. On the other hand, CSK are outside of top four, a place where they are not familar with, so remarkable is their consistency. But with a new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad at the helm can they comeback into the top four?
Tushar Deshpande can be back into the scheme of things for CSK after the pacer missed the last match because of a flu but with Deepak Chahar sustaining an injury and Mustafizur Rahman flying back, there will be a bit of reshuffling to do as far as the bowling attack is concerned. Mukesh Choudhary and Ajinkya Rahane could be the team's Impact Sub options.
All in all, this looks set to be a cracker of a game with the picturesque Dharamshala stadium as its backdrop.
