CSK Falter with the Bat

CSK, after electing to bat first, failed to capitalize on the home advantage. Their batting line-up, which boasts experienced players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and MS Dhoni, struggled against a disciplined PBKS bowling attack. Openers Gaikwad (50) and Devon Conway (27) provided a decent start, but the middle order faltered. Spinners Rahul Chahar and Arshdeep Singh were particularly impressive, picking up crucial wickets at regular intervals. CSK could only manage a below-par total of 162/7 in their allotted 20 overs.

Clinical Performance by PBKS

In reply, PBKS chased down the target comfortably with 13 balls to spare. Openers Mayank Agarwal (48) and Liam Livingstone (32) got them off to a brisk start. Captain Sam Curran (37*) and Jonny Bairstow (29*) ensured there were no hiccups in the chase. The CSK bowlers lacked penetration, failing to pick up wickets at crucial junctures.
