IPL 2024 Live: Shardul unhappy with fielding effort

Daryl Mitchell dropped a tough chance in the 14th over and Shardul Thakur was visibly frustrated. A total of 13 runs came off the over and Punjab Kings need 28 runs in 36 balls from this point.

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

An anti-climax for Rilee Rossouw. He has lost his wicket for the score 43 off 23 balls. It was a slower full toss from Shardul Thakur and Rossouw failed to take advantage of it. He got an inside edge that hit his leg and then crashed onto the stumps. Punjab Kings need 50 runs in 48 balls.

PBKS 113/3 (12)

IPL 2024 Live: Punjab Kings dominate

PBKS 99/2 (11)

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

Shivam Dube, bowling for the first time in IPL 2024, strikes only on the second ball of his spell and it is the big wicket of Jonny Bairstow. The PBKS opener is gone for 46 off 30 balls after edging a short ball to CSK wicketkeeper MS Dhoni.

PBKS 83/2 (9.2)

IPL 2024 Live: Runs keep coming for PBKS

9 runs came off the second over of Ravindra Jadeja. He has remained on the expensive side tonight by conceding 19 runs in his first two overs without taking any wicket. Punjab Kings need 81 runs in 66 balls. Chennai Super Kings badly need wickets to stay alive in this game.

CSK vs PBKS Live: Punjab Kings dominate

PBKS 73/1 (8)

IPL 2024 Live: PBKS in command!

13 runs came off Shardul Thakur’s second over. Punjab Kings have scored 52 runs in the powerplay and lost only one wicket. This is a really good start for them as the asking rate is below 8 for them from this point. Punjab Kings need 111 runs in 84 balls.

PBKS 52/1 (6)

Live Score: OUT!

CSK’s 36-year-old IPL debutant Richard Gleeson has struck only on the 7th delivery of his spell. He had troubled the PBKS opener Jonny Bairstow with his swing in the first over and now he gets the better of Prabhsimran Singh. It was a short of length ball and Prabhsimran edged it in the air before Gaikwad took the catch around the extra cover region.

PBKS 19/1 (3.1)

Live Score: Poor review from CSK!

It was a review from CSK for an LBW against Prabhsimran Singh. The batter walked across the stumps and got a thick edge of the bat. CSK failed to notice it and went upstairs only to lose a review. 

PBKS 19/0 (3)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Deepak Chahar walks out of ground

Deepak Chahar stopped during runup while he was going to delivery the third ball of the over. He felt some trouble and therefore left the ground in the follow-up. Shardul Thakur completed the over for Deepak. 12 runs came off the over.

Live Score: Punjab Kings start chase!

Prabhsimran Singh comes in as Impact Player for Arshdeep Singh. He has opened the innings for PBKS with Jonny Bairstow. Deepak Chahar has the new ball in hand. Here we go… 

CSK vs PBKS Live: Dhoni’s unwanted first

By being run out on the final ball of the delivery, MS Dhoni was dismissed for the first time in the ongoing Indian Premier League season.

IPL Live: End of CSK innings!

Chennai Super Kings post 162 for 7 in 20 overs (Ruturaj Gaikwad 62, MS Dhoni 14; Rahul Chahar 2/16) against Punjab Kings in IPL 2024 match.

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

Rahul Chahar has cleaned up Moeen Ali and Punjab Kings are once again dominating this contest. CSK are six down and comes in next Daryl Mitchell to bat. 

CSK 147/6 (18.4)

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

Ruturaj Gaikwad was cleaned up on the fifth ball of Arshdeep Singh’s over and walked in MS Dhoni to bat next. Dhoni got off the mark with a single to retain the strike. Rahul Chahar is set to bowl the 19th over. Is it a masterstroke from PBKS? Let’s see.

CSK 146/5 (18)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Fifty for Gaikwad!

Ruturaj Gaikwad raced to his half-century in 44 balls. He got there with a six on the second legal delivery of the over, which was a free-hit as Sam Curran had bowled a beamer on the preceding 

CSK 131/4 (17)

Live Score: OUT!

Sameer Rizvi is gone! It was a short ball from Kagiso Rabada and Rizvi has played it directly into the hands of Harshal Patel at third man. The upper cut needed to be finer but Rizvi failed to do it. He fell for 21 off 23 balls. 

CSK 107/4 (15.3)

Live Score: Expensive over

Harshal Patel started with five wides. He bowled a horrible delivery down the leg side that ran away for a four as well. A total of 12 runs came off the over and CSK must be a happy side. PBKS, meanwhile, must be disappointed as they had kept CSK under the pump by not conceding any boundary for the previous 8 overs.

CSK 102/3 (15)

CSK vs PBKS Live: No boundary in last 7 overs

CSK have not hit any boundary after the powerplay, that is the 6th over. That tells you how dominating PBKS have been in the last 7 overs. CSK have put their trust on young batter Sameer Rizvi by roping in him as Impact Substitue. He should look to utilize the opportunity. Rizwi is currently batting on 12 off 16 balls.

CSK 85/3 (13)

Live Score: PBKS in control

The tables have been turned into favour of PBKS. CSK scored 55 runs in the first six overs without the loss of any wicket, but once PBKS introduced spin, they have been in command. CSK have scored only 26 runs in the last six overs of spin and lost three wickets.

CSK 81/3 (12)

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

Ravindra Jadeja is gone and CSK have lost their second review as well. Umpire had raised his finger over an LBW appeal against Jadeja but the latter, after a discussion with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, decided to go upstairs only to burn the last remaining review.

CSK 70/3 (9.5)

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

A huge blow for CSK! This is poor batting from Shivam Dube. He tried to play a slog sweep on the first legal delivery he faced and lost his wicket. It was an appeal for LBW and umpire raised his finger in approval. Dube reviewed it but it was in vain.

CSK 65/2 (8.3)

CSK vs PBKS Live: OUT!

This was coming. This was right around the corner as CSK scored only 9 runs off the last two overs off spin bowling. Brar knew this and he smartly kept the ball away from Rahane’s reach. An urgency to play a big shot saw Rahane mistiming the ball into the hands of deep mid-wicket. Rahane departs for 29 off 24 balls.

CSK 64/1 (8.2)

CSK vs PBKS Live: A superb start for CSK

Harpreet Brar  has conceded only 5 runs in his first over. CSK won’t mind it as they are scoring at a good pace. Both Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane are well set in the crease and should take more risk from here to keep CSK cruising in the middle overs.

CSK 60/0 (7)

IPL 2024 Live: Another expensive over

Sam Curran has conceded 18 runs in his second over. What was a decent powerplay for CSK after four overs has been a superb one at the end. They have got 32 runs in the last 12 balls. Rahane hit two fours in the over while Gaikwad also smashed one four.

CSK 55/0 (6)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Expensive over

14 runs came off Arshdeep Singh’s over. He has been the loose end of Punjab Kings’ bowling line-up so far. The left-arm pacer has bowled two overs and conceded 24 runs in it. Meanwhile, CSK have got a little momentum here. The last over of powerplay coming…

CSK 37/0 (5)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Slow start for CSK

Onlly three runs came off Sam Curran’s first over. PBKS have managed to keep things under control while CSK are off to a really slow start in this game. Three more overs remaining the powerplay and one between Rahane and Gaikwad need to take responsibility of scoring some quick runs from here.

CSK 23/0 (4)

CSK vs PBKS Live: FOUR!

A four for Ajinkya Rahane! It didn’t come from the middle of the bat but the veteran CSK batter won’t mind it. Rabada bowled it fuller outside off stump, Rahane went for a drive but hit it from the outer half of his bat. The ball ran between the short third and deep point fielders for a four.

CSK 20/0 (3)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Cheeky FOUR!

Ruturaj Gaikwad earlier hit a four on the third ball of Arshdeep Singh’s over and now finished the over with another boundary. It was a short ball from Arshdeep on the final delivery and Gaikwad hit it over the slip for a four.

CSK 14/0 (2)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Good start from Rabada!

Kagiso Rabada has bowled an economical first over. This is a very good start for PBKS’ pace spearhead.

CSK 4/0 (1)

CSK vs PBKS Live: Match begins!

Kagiso Raba with the new ball in hand. Ajinkya Rahane will face him. Here we go… Rabada got some great bounce on the delivery that left Rahane amazed, certainly others too. It is a dot ball. Ruturaj Gaiwad is at the other end.

CSK vs PBKS Live: Gleeson’s historic debut

CSK vs PBKS Live: Richard Gleeson makes IPL debut

“We would have fielded first, but we weren’t exactly sure. Always tough defending here with a lot of dew, but the fact that we won by 78 runs shows a lot about the team, but we’ll be missing out Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande today. We’ll have to get there early and make a good score. Every game is important. Pathirana has a slight niggle, Deshpande isn’t well, so we’ve Shardul and Richard Gleeson makes his debut,” said CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Live Score: Live: PBKS unchanged

“We’ll bowl first. Looks like a good surface, new wicket and we’re excited after that last match. An amazing stadium and an amazing crowd, we’ll have to start well and take early wickets. We’ll take the confidence from that chase of 261. It’s just about fight and determination, they’re a good team, but we need to be brave. Same team for us,” said PBKS’ stand-in captain Sam Curran.
