Punjab thrash CSK by 54 runs

Punjab Kings' Liam Livingstone smashed 60 runs off 32 balls and then picked up two wickets at a crucial stage of the game as kings from Punjab beat the kings from Chennai by 54 runs to resigter their second win of IPL 2022. 

That's it from us tonight as well. See you tomorrow again with another exciting IPL contest. 

OUT!

MS Dhoni is gone. And the hopes of CSK as well. PBKS just one wicket away from win.

Chennai Super Kings need 60 runs in 17 balls
 

PBKS 3 wickets away from win

Punjab on top as Livingstone gets two in the same over. Dube and Bravo fall in the 16th over. 

Pretorius comes in to bat and starts off with a six.

Chennai Super Kings need 76 runs in 28 balls

Dhoni playing too slow

MS Dhoni is 10 off 20 balls and it has killed the chase literally. The asking rate has jumped to over 15. 

Chennai Super Kings need 91 runs in 36 balls

CSK 94/5 after 14.1 overs

CSK lose half of their side

MS Dhoni has joined Shivam Dube in the middle. Half of the side back to the hut and the 181-run target is looking even bigger. 

Chennai Super Kings need 143 runs in 72 balls

CSK 35/5 after 8 overs
 

OUT

What's happening, CSK?

Captain Ravindra Jadeja is back to the hut as well. Nipped back sharply from Arshdeep from round the stumps and Jadeja chops on. Jaddu goes without scoring as well.

CSK 23/5 after 5.3 overs

Moeen Ali gone

CSK are in a spot of bother right now with both the openers back to the hut. Moeen Ali too follows them to the change room. Lazy shot from him, Vaibhav Arora gets another, inside edge on to the stumps. Ali gone a big zero. 

CSK 22/3 after 4.4 overs

CSK off to a terrible start

This is bad start for CSK. They have lost both the openers - Gaikwad and Uthappa - in the back to back overs. Rabada got Gaikwad, debutant Vaibhav Arora gets Uthappa off a leading edge. CSK in big trouble.

CSK 14/2 after 2.3 overs

Chase time!

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Robin Uthappa are out in the middle to chase down PBKS' 181-run target. CSK will be hoping their young star Rutu comes back to form.

Vaibhav Arora and Kagiso Rabada share the new ball.  

CSK 5/0 after 1 overs

CSK need 181 to win

What a fine job by CSK's death bowler as Punjab has been curtailed to only 180/8 after 20 overs. After that Livingstone knock, it seemed kings from Punjab will easily cross 200 mark but Chris Jordan and Co pulled things back magnificently. 

OUT!

CSK pull things back with another wicket as debutant Jitesh Sharma departs for a well-made 26 off 17 balls. Well played on debut, young man!

Shahrukh Khan still in the middle.

PBKS 146/5 after 14.5 overs

Livingstone finally departs

Rayudu had dropped him and now he is the one who gets his catch. But the damage has already been done. CSK need to ensure Punjab do not touch the 180+ mark. 

PBKS 130/4 after 13 overs

Fifty for Livingstone

Liam Livingstone has reached his half-century, his first in IPL, in just 27 balls. But soon his partner Shikhar Dhawan departs and the partnership breaks. But Livingstone is still going strong at the other end. 

PBKS 113/3 after 10.1 overs

DROPPED!

This is criminal really. Rayudu has dropped a sitter at short third man and could be a costly miss as Livingstone get a second life. 

PBKS 82/2 after 7

OUT

Dhoni turns the clock back with a Mustafizur Rahman-like run out of Bhanuka Rajapaksa from behind the stumps. PBKS on back foot with loss of 2nd wicket.

PBKS 27/2 after 3 overs

OUT

CSK draw first blood as Mukesh Chaudhary strikes on only the second ball of the match, sends Mayank Agarwal packing. 

PBKS 4.1 after 0.2 overs

Game Time!

PBKS openers are Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan. CSK to open bowling with left-arm pacer Mukesh Choudhary.
