PBKS Vs CSK Player of the Match: Ravindra Jadeja

As expected, Jaddu gets the Player of the Match award for his all-round efforts. He scored a crucial 43 with the bat and also picked up 3 valuable wickets.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: CSK end their losing streak!

Sam Curran (Punjab Kings Captain): "I thought we bowled well as a group and the way Chahar bowled and Harshal bowled well as well. But it wasn't meant to be.

It was slower than I thought. Thought it was quicker and bouncier but the conditions were similar for both teams. I think the batting failed for us today big time and we paid the price. Not much time to think about. We play in a couple of days time and see how it goes. We will dust ourselves and come back stronger."

Stay tuned folks for the post-match presentation! 

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: That's it, game over for PBKS!

A clinical performance by a clinical team. CSK beat Punjab Kings by 28 runs, despite missing many stars. To be honest, Punjab were never really in the chase, losing wickets at regular intervals. Tushar Deshpande set the tone with wickets of Bairstow and Rossouw.

His good work was continued by Ravindra Jadeja, who grabbed 3 wickets in the middle-overs and turned the match in CSK's favour. PBKS never really recovered from his double wicket jolt and eventually lost the plot to do a double over the Super Kings.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: 36 needed off the last over

Anyone up for 6 sixes? Imagine if that happens. Okay, maybe jokes aside, but it has been a clinical performance by the Super Kings, despite missing their key bowlers.

Ohh, by the way in Lucknow, LSG are set to collide with KKR in a crucial contest for two points. Follow every update from that game @OneCricket.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Shardul 'finally' takes a wicket!

Full and on the middle stump as Rahul Chahar shuffles across and misses the ball. It castles the stumps. Easy peasy for Shardul and CSK as PBKS are 9 down.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Ashutosh DROPPPPED 😰

You cannot, cannot drop the dangerous Ashutosh Sharma, and Moeen Ali has done just that. A simplest of catches at mid wicket and Ashutosh survives.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Landmark for MSD! 😍

A rare failure for Dhoni with the bat today, but he is still sharp behind the stumps. A smart catch to dismiss Jitesh Sharma.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Impact player strikes!

PBKS are crumbling here. 5 down in no time as CSK etch closer to victory. Short and wide from Simarjeet Singh as Jitesh flashes hard and the outside-edge is taken brilliantly by none other than MSD. Golden duck for JITESH!

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Another one perishes!!

What is happening? Double wicket blow and PBKS lose two in quick successions. Prabhsimran tries to loft a length ball from Ravindra Jadeja and he finds the man at long-off. Joy for Jaddu, but agony for Prabh! Game changing couple of deliveries from CSK bowlers.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Gone, gone, wicket 🚨

Just when a partnership was brewing, Santner did what he does the best. He gets the big fish, Shashank Singh as he tries to go for a big slog and the catch gets taken easily. Another twist in the tale???

50 partnership up between Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. Good rescue work from the two batters.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Too hot to handle!

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: There's no stopping Prabhsimran 😍

A monstrous six followed by a cheeky boundary off Tushar Deshpande. The CSK pacer is shocked at the moment. He knows the danger Prabhsimran possesses, and CSK desperately need his wicket.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Gleeson taken to the cleaners!

Not the best of start for the Englishman. Shashank SIngh took him down with a boundary, followed by a colossal hit by Prabhsimran Singh. He needs to get his lines and lengths right.

And just when I type, Gleeson has now been hit for a triple. MSD is not looking happy.

Richard Gleeson into the attack. Let's see what he's got 🤔

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score; Two in two for CSK pacer!!

Deshpande on fire! There is not a better sight for a fast bowler than seeing the stumps go for cartwheel. A brilliant nip-backer and Rossouw looked clueless as the stumps are shattered. What an over from him.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Bairstow is clean bowled 😱

Bairstow couldn't latch onto the opportunity he received on the previous ball and has been cleaned up by Deshpande. Superb delivery froma bowler oozing in confidence at the moment. Deshpande right on the money.

Rilee Rossouw comes to the crease now.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Edged and there was no slip!

Lovely from Deshpande. Out-swinger and there was no slip to take Bairstow's edge. The England batter survives as MSD looks in agony. Missed chance, match dropped?

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score; Santner right on the money!

He starts off by just giving 2 runs in the first over. Tidy stuff from the Kiwi all-rounder. A smart decision from Ruturaj to give the new ball to Santner.

Tushar Deshpande from the other end.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: We are back for the PBKS chase

168 to win, PBKS should be confident here. Brilliant tactical decision though from Ruturaj. Mitch Santner gets the new ball in hand. Impact player Prabhsimran Singh replaces Arshdeep.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Here's how Harshal foxed MSD!

A Harshal Patel special and MSD is foxed. Slower and dipping delivery and it does the trick for Harshal and PBKS.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: CSK's innings comes to end!

167 is what the Chennai Super Kings have managed to score. Not a bad total by any means, but PBKS will be confident of chasing down the total. Despite losing Rahane early in the innings, Ruturaj and Mitchell forged a strong partnership before Rahul Chahar turned the tides. He picked up 3 wickets, including Shivam Dube for a duck.

Just when things looked bleak for CSK, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur piled on quick runs to steer the team to 167. Is it enough to defend? Will Punjab Kings do the double over CSK? We'll find out.

Dharamsala has come alive because of one man - Mahendra Bahubali Dhoni. He walks out with a different aura. Harshal with a dipping yorker as Shardul is knocked over. Crowd is standing to get a glimpse of Thala Dhoni

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Sea-Saw battle in Dharamsala!

The momentum has swung like a pendulum throughout the innings. Eyebrows were raised when Shardul Thakur was promoted ahead of MSD, but he has so far justified the selection with some big, big shots. CSK, well on course to achieve 170.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Chahar gets another wicket!!

Rahul Chahar is on fire. He gets his third wicket of the innings and astonishingly has only conceded 10 runs. Mind boggling from the leggie! Googly from Chahar and Santner slogs it straight to the man at long-on.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: BIG BLOW FOR CSK! 😰

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: 5 overs to go, prediction time!!!!

With Thala Dhoni still to come, CSK should aim for 170 at-least. Jadeja is looking decent and Mitchell can certainly hang. The wicket is good and the PBKS batters are in form, so they should eye 170.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Punjab right on top! 🔝

With CSK's half the side back in the hut, PBKS have a great chance to wrap things up quickly. Still MSD to follow, but Curran would love to build some pressure before 'Thala' comes in.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Moeen Ali is a goner!!!

The slower ball from Sam Curran does the trick for PBKS. Slower bumper and Moeen fails to keep his pull shot down as the fielder at short-fine takes a simple catch. Just when a partnership was developing, Curran snatches the momentum for his side.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Boundary after boundary for CSK!

Super Kings are slowly and steadily releasing the pressure. Both Moeen Ali and Ravindra Jadeja have struck a couple of boundaries as the pressure seem to have tilted towards the PBKS camp. Watch out for Moeen and Jaddu!

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: The game-changing over from Chahar!

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Another wicket down 😱

CSK have lost three in quick successions. Harshal Purple Patel has struck for PBKS. He comes wide of the crease as Mitchell fails to flick his length ball and the ball strikes the pad. The original decision was out, but Mitchell refers it upstairs.

With the naked eye, it felt the ball was going down the leg, and Harshal can call himself lucky, It was umpire's call on wicket.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: WICKETS ALERT 🚨

The strategic timeout has done the trick for PBKS. Rahul Chahar strikes with the very first ball after the break. Ruturaj fails to square cut a leg-break and Jitesh Sharma takes a brilliant catch behind the stumps. Just the wicket PBKS wanted desperately.

Oh hang on, just as I finished writing about Rutu, Chahar foxes Shivam Dube and gets him for a duck. His second successive duck as CSK are in trouble. The strategic timeout has certainly been lucky for the Punjab side. Similar dismissal to Ruturaj. Another attempted cut shot gone wrong as Jitesh bags another catch.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Gaikwad in full flow!

The CSK captain has been in terrific form in the ongoing IPL, and he continues to dazzle Vs PBKS, taking their best bowler to the cleaners.

The CSK skipper has decided to take on Harpreet Brar. 6, 4, 4 and the PBKS spinner has been rattled here. This could be the momentum shifting over for CSK.

The last time Daryl Mitchell played in Dharamsala, he scored a magnificent century in the World Cup 2023.The opponent - India. Will he repeat the heroics?

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Wicket, or not a wicket? 🤔

Is that a clean catch? The umpires have sent it upstairs. Full and swinging back in from Arshdeep as Rahane flicks it straight to the mid wicket fielder. PBKS celebrate, but the decision is sent upstairs.

The umpires have finally made their decision. The catch was taken cleanly, just inches above the ground. Rahane departs for yet another low score.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Solid start from Rabada!

He was on point right from the word go in the first over. Just 6 runs conceded and Arshdeep from the other end will look to continue the good work.

And just as I say Arshdeep needs to continue the good work. Rahane punches a lovely drive off his very first delivery for a boundary.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Aaaaand let the play beginnnnn!! 😍

Two crucial points up for grabs as the two teams are out in the middle. Huge fanbase here for Punjab Kings, their second home in IPL 2024. Also, a lot of support for MSD, which he deserves.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings

The team has certainly had a topsy-turvy tournament. They have won 5 and lost equal number of matches, but the team selection has often being criticised this season. The form of Ajinkya Rahane is a cause of worry and the baffling team selection has pushed the team on the back-foot.

The departure of Mustafizur Rahman has left a gaping hole, and the injury to Deepak Chahar hasn't helped their cause either. The CSK side need to regroup before it gets too late for them.

PBKS Vs CSK Live Score: Team Previews

Punjab Kings

Despite all the hiccups at the start of the tournament, Punjab Kings are well and truly alive in the playoff race. They have won 4 and lost 6 and will need to win their remaining games to make it to the playoffs. The return in form for Jonny Bairstow is a blessing for the team, and the duo of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma will once again be the key players.

The bowling looks a bit rusty, and PBKS have very little time to rectify everything ahead of the CSK clash. A week ago they defeated the Super Kings at Chepauk and that will give them loads of confidence.

Another riveting double header day and OneCricket is back with its Live Blog. The IPL 2024 has moved to its business end as the playoffs are nearby. Teams are fighting it hard for the top-4 slots, and the first game of the day will hold a lot of significance when it comes to the playoff scenario.
