CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Punjab out-beat Chennai

OVERTHROWS AND THAT'S WINNING RUNS! A comprehensive win for the Punjab Kings as they upstage the Chennai Super Kings in Chennai by 7 wickets with 13 balls to spare.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Salt on wounds

NO BALL!!! Plenty of dew. The ball slips off Gleeson's hands. Slower ball on the free-hit. Curran swings across the line and misses completely. And Dube misfields here!! Shivam Dube is done in by the spin and the ball goes away for a boundary. And Gleeson strikes Sam Curran is gone lbw. Pitching outside leg-stump - that saves Curran here.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Fizz errs, Punjab in touching distance

Finally an end of the 10-ball over, where Fizz bowled four wides. Dhoni seemed annoyed with the umpire's decisions. He indicates the umpire that Curran was bending a little bit. End of IPL 2024 for Mustafizur!!

We are back. Fizz will bowl his last over of this season. Can he stage a comeback for the Super Kings from here? They would need a couple of wickets from the Fizz from here.

Timeout signaled by the umpire. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Gamble goes against Chennai

Shashank, who played a maiden in the last over, pumps Moeen Ali for a six over mid wicket. Gets it in the slot and he hoicks it in the leg side. The right-handed batter turns the offie in the leg side yet again to bag a brace. 11 runs off the over, gamble goes against Chennai. PBKS need 17 runs in 24 balls!

Change in ball yet again. This has happened for the second time in the innings. Moeen Ali has given the duty in the 16th over! 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Is it going to a MAIDEN?

Five dots on a trot. Mustafizur is telling why he is so special. Make it six. Maiden over bowled by the CSK seamer. 

Fizz returns. This will be his second last over of IPL 2024.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Mitchell drops Shashank!!!!!

Shardul Thakur creates a chance but it goes begging. He did well to get to reach there. Mitchell at mid off back tracks the ball and puts in a dive, gets his hands on it but puts it down. Four off no-ball and another boundary on free-hit - Sam Curran smashes Shardul in all corners. 13 off the over and now they need just 28 runs off 36 balls. Fortress Chepauk is about to be breached again. 

Arjun: Right, it's less than run a ball now needed. 41 runs are now needed off 42 balls. Can CSK pull off a CSK-like turnaround?

PBKS need 50 in 48 balls. Richard Gleeson is ready to come back and bowl his 3rd.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Shardul laughs at last

Shardul Thakur's magic leaves Rilee Rossouw furious!!! Full toss from Shardul Thakur and Lord finds ways to get wickets. Rossouw's sizzling innings comes to an end. An unlucky way to get out. Enters the PBKS skipper Sam Curran.

The reaction sums it all ⤵️ ⤵️ ⤵️ ⤵️ 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Shashank shows Shardul mirror

Gets a ball in his slot and Shashank doesn't hoick it or slog it. But he shows the full face of his blade to the bowler. Driven through the middle of the stick and through Daryl Mitchell who dives across at mid off. In this T20 cricket's world, a shot like this always wins hearts!!!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Rossouw pumps it for six

OUTRAGEOUS HIT FROM ROSSOUW!! Short and wide angled across for the left hander. Stays underneath the ball and spanks an upper cut to clear the short boundary over backward point. 65 metres long six!

64 needed off 54 balls. Shardul Thakur comes back for another spell. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Shivam Dube thumped

Dube gets his own medicine. Banged into the crowd. 128.3 kmph. Short and wide - Poor delivery at this pace. Rossouw picks the length early, gets to a good position and smashes the pull over backward square leg for a 75m six!!!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Dube breaks the stand, Bairstow's gone

Good news for Team India. Shivam Dube, the bowler, bowls his first over in IPL 2024 and bags a wicket in it. Short of a length and outside off, Bairstow tries to play late on the back foot, looking to ramp it past Dhoni with an open-faced bat. But gets a thick edge and MS Dhoni won't drop those.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Jadeja gets tapped here and there

With dew in Chennai, Jadeja isn't getting any help. He is failing to control the cherry, and bowling it on Bairstow's advantage - shorter and wider. JB taps and cuts him in the offside to bag 9 runs off the over.

Time for the first Strategic Time Out of this innings. Punjab Kings in cruise control in Chennai. They are 73/1 after 8 overs and now need 90 runs off 72 balls with 9 wickets in hand. Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw are going strongly. CSK needs wickets quickly in clusters.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Bairstow knows how to tackle & tonk Mo Ali

The English off-spinning all-rounder bowled some tidy deliveries against Rossouw and Bairstow, giving just a run off the first four balls. But Bairstow isn't looking to stop tonight. Jonny B rocks back and disdainfully smacked him into the mid-wicket fence, before pulling him for a boundary in the same region.

Moeen Ali gets the ball from the other end.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: No stopping as JB's on roller skates

Jadeja bowls the first over after end of powerplay. 10 runs off it as the PBKS batters smash him. Jonny Bairstow first cut him to deep point for a boundary and then pulled him to fence. 101 runs are now needed off 78 balls. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: 50 up for Chennai

Six overs gone, 52/1 for Punjab in Chennai. Rilee Rossouw and Jonny Bairstow are attacking calculatedly as they are chasing a low total with dew present at the field. 13 runs of Shardul's over after JB smashed two fours off him. 

The spinners applied the brakes in the middle phase of the 1st innings, but it seems tricky for CSK now, thanks to the dew factor.

Shardul Thakur returns for his second over. And gets dispatched by Bairstow. PBKS now needs 120 runs in 89 balls.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Just sit and relax, says Rilee

Slaps another slower one away to the fence! Short and wide outside the off stump from Fizz. The southpaw waits for the ball to arrive, jumps in his crease and slaps up and over backward point.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Rossouw ufffff

His third boundary of the night as Rilee Rossouw makes the CSK bowlers pay. Full and outside the off stump from Fizz. Rossouw stands a step outside the crease and picks the length early as he swings across and finds the vacant boundary. Gets another boundary off the over. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Gleeson has his first wicket in IPL

First breakthrough for CSK in the chase. Prabhsimran is trapped inside the crease. Uses his wrists to go big in the leg side. Gets a top edge skying high in the off side. Ruturaj Gaikwad at mid off runs forward, settles underneath and takes the catch. Maiden IPL wicket for Gleeson. What an opening spell this has been!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Gaikwad wastes a DRS

What is happening here? What's that? Ruturaj Gaikwad has gone upstairs. The bowler didn't even appeal but the CSK captain seem confident. Although there's a thick edge saves Prabhsimran onto this occasion. 

Fizz comes to bowl his first over of the game. Also, starts his last spell in IPL 2024.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Bairstow gets going

After playing five dots off Gleeson, Bairstow cuts himself loose. He looks in control on this one. He gets forward and drives it between cover and mid off. In the air but a risk free hit to the fence.

Arjun: Geez, that was some ball. It kicked off a good length and Bairstow had no clue as the ball fizzed past his blade. 

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Nobody can stop Thala 😍

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Debutant Gleeson to bowl!

A lot of hype has been created for England's Richard Gleeson. Let's see how he fairs against a confident PBKS batting lineup.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Oh dear, Injury for Chahar 😱

The CSK pacer stopped in his run-up and felt something on his groin as he walked off the field. Terrible, terrible news for CSK. We'll have the official confirmation soon.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: PBKS up and running!

Width offered to Prabhsimran Singh and he says, thank you so much. He gratefully plays it over the point fielder to kick-start the chase. Can Prabh repeat the heroics that he showed against KKR?

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: We are set for the chase!!

PBKS need 163 to stay alive in the IPL playoffs. PBKS matches are often interesting, so let's see if it lives up to the expectations. Deepak Chahar gets the new ball in hand. HERE WE GO!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Thala gets run-out

Chance of a run out and Thala gets OUT for the first time in IPL 2024. Dhoni swings hard and loses the bottom hand from the bat as he slices it past short third man for a couple. Harshal Patel throws it to the keeper as Jitesh removes the bails with Dhoni sprinting across and dragging his bat. Replays confirm that Thala is a goner and has been out for the first time this season. CSK will get only one run as they finish on 162/7 in 20 overs!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: MSD finally smashes this time

This time, he connects big! Finally, a six for Dhoni and the local crowd goes loud. Dhoni lunges forward and smashes hard. Connects from the bottom and powers it over extra cover for a massive six of 74m. 

Arshdeep Singh is under some pressure. IN THE AIR AND IT FALLS WELL SHORT BUT THALA DOESN'T RUN! Mitchell touched Dhoni and returned back but MS Dhoni didn't leave his ground. A dot ball now.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: MS Dhoni finishes off...

Arshdeep to bowl the last over. MS Dhoni is on strike. Can we witness some action? Wide and a boundary, Thala is a whole different beast this season. A low full toss wide outside the off-stump. Dhoni lunges forward and crunches this drive through extra cover for a cracking boundary. A dot ball follows up!! Now a wide.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Canny Chahar

Can Thala survive off Rahul Chahar's last ball? Yes he does. But what an over that was by Rahul Chahar. A terrific over and terrific spell from Rahul Chahar. Does not even concede a single boundary in his 4 overs. 2/16 against CSK!

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: The gutsy move pays off

MS Dhoni is still in the middle but Rahul Chahar has rattled down Moeen Ali with a peach. The gutsy captaincy call from Sam Curran works like a charm. Just a single and a wicket with two balls to go. In walks Daryl Mitchell in at number 8.

Arjun: Brave tactic from Sam Curran. PBKS feeds MS Dhoni with leg-spin in the penultimate over of the innings. This could go anywhere.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Arshdeep redeems himself

Bowls a corker of a ball as Arshdeep redeems himself with CSK captain's wicket. Yorker on the stumps. The CSK skipper opens the bat face to squeeze it behind the square in the off-side. Gets hit on the face of the bat and deflects onto the off-stump. One last time at the Chepauk stadium in the league stage of this season, MS Dhoni in at number 7.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: FOUR MORE, MOEEENNNN's TONKING

Goes down the ground yet again. Moeen clears his front leg and thumps it over the head of the non-striker. Arshdeep misses the yorker this time and pays the price. Moeen gets under it and places it well wide of long-on. Arshdeep is getting the treatment here.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Bairstow makes night tougher for Arsh

Arshdeep Singh could have enjoyed his T20 World Cup selection with a wicket. But destiny and Jonny Bairstow had different plans. Moeen spreads up on the front foot and gets under it to tonk it flat towards long-off. Bairstow has judged it right fails to grab it. Throws it over the fence and the distance of the six is 81m.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Another sixer off the over

SIXXXX!!! Big over for Chennai Super Kings! 20 off it! The momentum is slowly shifting to the home side. Gaikwad clears his front leg on the back foot and picks it up to pull it over backward square leg for a 72m maximum.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Fifty with A MAXIMUMMMM!

Third successive fifty-plus score for Ruturaj Gaikwad. Bangs a maximum on the free-hit and he completes 500 runs in IPL 2024. Goes past Kohli and earns the Orange Cap. A fighting half century from Ruturaj Gaikwad in hot, humid and tough batting conditions. The start was superb with Ajinkya Rahane but the brakes were put by the spinners. Now is the time to go big to get a big one.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Gaikwad breaks his shackles

Poor ball and Gaikwad gives the low full toss the deserving treatment. The CSK skipper stands tall, waits for it and slashes it over point for a boundary. The man in the deep has no chance to cut it off, moving to his left. Gaikwad moves to 49. And that's a NO-BALL. Meanwhile, Curran reviews it. Ball-tracking with the trajectory comes in to confirms that!

Kagiso Rabada finishes with figures of 1/23 in 4 overs. Excellent night for him. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: FOUR AND GONE

Rizvi has to go. That was some catch and a half from Harshal Patel off Kagiso Rabada's bowling. KG has the final laugh after getting hit for a boundary on the previous ball. The batter looked to play the ramp by swaying his body away from its line. Doesn't quite get the desired timing and Harshal Patel slides to his left and to take a good catch.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Awful from Harshal

He bowls a freebie. FOUR PLUS WIDES!! Way too wide down the leg side. Jitesh dives full length to his left but doesn't get a thread of the ball. 

Harshal Patel comes to bowl his first over in the 15th over of the innings. 

Stat Attack: 48 balls since the last boundary is the longest gap in an innings this season. Previous longest was 38 balls by Gujarat Titans up against Delhi Capitals.  

CSK vs PBKS: Can Gaikwad-Rizvi pull Chennai out of trouble?

After a promising start in the powerplay, Chennai Super Kings have fallen away. The spinners of Punjab Kings have done the damage and got three wickets in no time as Rahane, Dube and Jadeja fell in quick succession. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad is still there on 36* and has Impact Player Sameer Rizvi with him. CSK have batting to come, but they have hit a speed breaker in the form of the Punjab spinners. This has been a sub par performance by CSK so far.   

Harpreet Brar finishes with figures of 2/17 in 4 overs. 

CSK vs PBKS: Is this the end of Sameer Rizvi?

Umpire's review for a run out at the striker's end. The dive has saved Rizvi as Jitesh did well to whip off the stumps. NOT OUT is the call on the giant screen. Big relief for the CSK fans.

Arjun: Captain Gaikwad would have to play a captain's knock yet again. And the CSK captain would need a huge assistance from CSK's young blood Sameer Rizvi. 

Impact player is here. Sameer Rizvi comes to the middle.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Ravindra Jadeja falls

Chahar gets the better of Jadeja at 2 off 4 balls. Massive appeal and given out. Jadeja was walking back but Gaikwad came in and asked for a DRS. Fair delivery. No bat is involved. Three reds yet again and Jadeja departs. CSK lose both reviews. The spinners of PBKS are doing damage as the hosts lose three wickets in a quick time.

Arjun: A lot of outside noise is going against Ravindra Jadeja, who accordingly various people doesn't deserve his place in India's squad for T20 World Cup. Can he prove his critiques wrong? No, he can't... he's gone. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Dube's dismantled on ZERO

Massive appeal for lbw and given out by the umpire! Shivam Dube reviews it straightaway. The ball has hit Dube in line! He hasn't failed too much this season. Falls first ball tonight. Golden duck for Shivam Dube, a day after getting picked in India's squad for T20 World Cup 2024. In enters Ravindra Jadeja.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Brar breaks through

Can I see future?? Can I? Maa, meri shaktiyaan!!! The couple of Harpreet Brar and Rilee Rossouw bring the first joy of the night for Punjab. Rahane gets down on one knee for a big slog sweep and ends up getting a top edge. This one sails in the night sky and settles down in the bucket hands of Rilee Rossouw riding near deep mid-wicket.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: A wicket is cooking?

Tidy start from both the spinners. Just 9 runs from the last couple of overs. In my opinion, Brar will get the first breakthrough. AND I AM RIGHT!!!

We are back and Rahul Chahar will bowl the 8th over.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: PBKS needs a wicket

Harpreet Brar comes to the attack after the powerplay. Just 5 runs off his over. Strategic Time Out is taken! Punjab need someone to take the responsibility and bowl his heart out against these two CSK openers, else they will take the game away from PBKS. Meanwhile, CSK needs to go big and score 200+ to be in the game. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: 4, 4, 4 and 4!!

Rahane takes the attack to Punjab's skipper. Hattrick of fours by Rahane against Sam Curran. The 50 comes up for the Chennai Super Kings in the 6th over and of the partnership. After a couple of decent overs bowled by Rabada and Curran, CSK has taken on the charge. They are 55/0 in 6 overs with both Gaikwad and Rahane on 25 each. Both took their time and now looking to cut loose. The middle phase will be crucial for both teams. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Arsh comes to attack, gets the hammering

Change of end for Arshdeep Singh and Rahane cuts loose. He gets width outside off and the experienced batter cuts the left-armer late for a boundary between third man and backward point. Gaikwad joins his partner. Gaikwad slashes it through the off side and past deep point, and another one off CSK skipper's blade. Gaikwad with a little adjustment in the crease slashes at it towards third man. 14 off the over. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Tidy first from Curran

No boundary off Sam Curran's first over. Four dot deliveries in the fourth over. Gaikwad tried freeing arms his spidercam came in between. Gaikwad pulled Curran out but the spidercam distracted him. Sam Curran was already through bowling it and the ball hits the stumps. Dead ball signalled. 

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Rahane with first hit to the fence

A brilliant over from KG. Just 6 runs off it. He got on top of Rahane throughout the over as the prolific batter failed to tackle the South Africa. However, he somehow found a way to dispatch Rabada to the fence. Rahane drives through the off side. Hits it behind square with the open face of the bat. Ball runs away through to the backward point boundary.

Kagiso Rabada continues from his end. Meanwhile, Rahane's struggle against the lethal pacer stays the same.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Chennai openers take the charge

Arshdeep Singh gets the ball from the other end. CSK take the charge against the Punjab bowling. Gaikwad leads the charge. He plays a delightful punch off Arshdeep before summing up the over with an intentional upper cut. Hits it very fine, up and over first slip. Ball races away to the vacant third man boundary. 10 runs off the over.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: KG is a special bowler

Rahane literally had to smell the lethal on the first two deliveries as KG Rabada had it took off the deck in Chepauk. And at last, the presenters have done justice to pitch report, it seems. Just 4 runs off the first over, both batters are off the mark.

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Wait is OVER

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane are entering the field to open the innings for Chennai in Chennai, followed by Sam Curran's side and the two on-field umpires. 

CSK Vs PBKS Live Score: Who is this Gleeson guy?

He is Richard Gleeson... 

PS: No VK or RCB fan was hurt 🙂

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Thala! ❤️ 💛

MS Dhoni is everyone's favourite. Thala has become an emotion for the people of Chennai.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Poor Rutu

The CSK captain has won just a single toss in his debut season as skipper. That one thing he surely needs to correct.

Ruturaj Gaikwad in the toss in IPL 2024: Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Won, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Pitch Repor

"This is a new brand new pitch. Loving it by the sea side. The dimensions are 70m to my left, 63m to my right. Downtown is 77m. The shorter side is 60m down to fine leg. Now then, let's bring Matthew Hayden here. 

It has got a lot of grass here. The surface is rock hard and red soil keeps it hard. The spinners will have a role to play and they have struggled. We may get nice pace and carry as well. There will be dew which will be a matter of concern for the teams bowling second."

Chennai Super Kings: Matheesha Pathirana, who was running in to the crease visibly gingerly during the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad, is being closely monitored. 

Shardul Thakur and Ajinkya Rahane/Shivam Dube will be the respective Impact Players depending on whether they are batting or bowling first. 

Meanwhile, Mustafizur Rahman will be featuring in his last game this season. The pace bowler from Bangladesh will now prepare with the national team for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

Punjab Kings: Skipper Shikhar Dhawan, who missed his side’s last four matches due to a shoulder injury, is almost there fitness wise. 

Prabhsimran Singh (if bowling first) and Arshdeep Singh (if batting first) could be their Impact Player options.

CSK vs PBKS Live Score: Team Preview

CSK have so far won five and lost four. After Devon Conway getting injury and Rachin Ravindra being struggle with form, Chennai are struggling to find a reliable opener partner for Ruturaj Gaikwad. The experiment to promote Ajinkya Rahane has failed miserably, which is why the defending champions may look to sent Daryl Mitchell at the top of the order. 

Record-breaking PBKS, on the other hand, registered an eight-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in what turned out to be a ridiculously-brilliant chase at the iconic Eden Gardens. However, with Shikhar Dhawan returning to the fold, the Kings might drop Rilee Rossouw out of the team to accomodate their skipper. Prabhsimran Singh also would have to bat at number 3 if Dhawan makes a comeback.

Hello and welcome to OneCricket's Live Blog of Match 49 of the the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024), where the fourth-ranked Chennai Super Kings (CSK) clash against  Punjab Kings (PBKS), who are 8th place, in Chennai.
