Punjab Kings chased down CSK's total of 209 runs with 5 wickets in hand and 8 balls to spare. The Shreyas Iyer-led side won their second game of the season and continued their strong start in the tournament.

Punjab Kings began their run chase with a strong start, scoring 43 runs in the first three overs. However, the scoring rate dropped since then as CSK crawled their way back into the game.  

PBKS openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh attacked from the off, taking full advantage of the field restrictions in the powerplay. Priyansh Arya was eventually dismissed for 39 of 11 deliveries by Matt Henry. The Kiwi star hit the perfect length and knocked back the off stump to give CSK a much-needed breakthrough.

Prabhsimran Singh was run out due to a mix-up in the middle, and soon after, Connolly was dismissed, leaving PBKS in a difficult situation. However, captain Shreyas Iyer and Nehal Wandhera put on a partnership to guide PBKS home.
