PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 42 off 11

42 runs needed off 11 balls for Chennai Super Kings. Is tonight MS Dhoni’s night? Ravindra Jadeja takes a single, gives strike back to Dhoni. Arshdeep Singh is bowling the penultimate over.

CSK 178/4 (18.1)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: DHONI 6, 6!

MS Dhoni’s first one of the evening! He gets full hold of that one, and it flies over long-off for a maximum. Two more balls to go, what can he do? And Devon Conway has been retired out! Ravindra Jadeja takes his place.

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: DRS!

Ferguson traps Dhoni on the pads, umpire gives not out. Prabhsimran and Lockie urging for the DRS, and Shreyas Iyer opts to send it upstairs. And it’s umpire’s call! MS Dhoni survives. It is all happening here at Mullanpur.

CSK 164/3 (17.3)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Great fielding by Shreyas

Shreyas Iyer with some excellent fielding in the deep. Conway thought the boundary was a certainty, but Shreyas gets a had before it goes to the fence. Ends up saving 3 runs!

CSK 163/3 (17.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Uphill task for CSK

Brilliant over by Yuzvendra Chahal, does not concede a single boundary. Devon Conway failing to middle it. CSK need a dose of Dhoni magic. They require 59 runs to win off 18 balls, at a required run rate of nearly 20.

CSK 161/3 (17)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: And here comes Chahal!

Yuzvendra Chahal has been given his first over as MS Dhoni walks in. Bold tactic by Shreyas, in a crucial juncture of the game. CSK are on the back foot, but can Dhoni turn the tide in favour of the men in yellow?

CSK 155/3 (16.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: OUT!

BOWLED! Shivam Dube is gone. Lockie Ferguson makes an important breakthrough. But listen to the crowd! They’re hyped, because Mahendra Singh Dhoni is out into the middle. CSK need 69 runs in 25 balls.

CSK 151/3 (15.5)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Great over by Arshdeep

Dropped catch, yes, but a great over by Arshdeep Singh. Brought in under pressure to make a breakthrough, and he’s bowled really well and pegged CSK back a little. Meanwhile, no Yuzvendra Chahal in 16 overs because no left-handers are at the crease!

CSK 148/2 (15.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Another one dropped!

That’s another sitter put down. This time, a lifeline for Shivam Dube. The southpaw sliced it straight to Lockie Ferguson at backward point, but the ball just popped out of his grasp. PBKS could end up rueing this.

CSK 143/2 (14.4)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 19 off the over

19 off Marco Jansen’s over! Dube gets yet another maximum. Is that the big over CSK needed to get up and running? You have to feel for Jansen. He saw Conway dropped twice off his bowling in the previous over. Now that has come back to bite them.

CSK 139/2 (14)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 50 for Conway!

Devon Conway completes his half-century with a maximum over mid-wicket. It’s taken him 37 balls to reach the milestone. Flick of the wrists there for the 6, exquisitely timed. CSK need more of these.

CSK 130/2 (13.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Getting tougher for CSK

Chennai Super Kings continue to lose track of this run chase. 100 runs to get now in just 7 overs. Conway and Dube are well-set, but the big hits are not coming as frequently as they need to. The asking rate is creeping up towards 15.

CSK 120/2 (13)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: SIX!

Devon Conway is starting to make PBKS pay! Great shot, as Marcus Stoinis comes into bowl his first over. Hit so beautifully. Crack, great sound off the bat! Conway into the 40s, and he must accelerate now.

CSK 117/2 (12.2)

PBKS vs CSK, IPL 2025 LIVE: 9 off the over

And Dube ends the over with a boundary. Into the gap, hit hard and past the fielder at mid-off. Jansen must be annoyed, two golden chances for a wicket put down in that over. PBKS are ahead in this match, but these can prove to be costly.

CSK 110/2 (12)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: CONWAY DROPPED TWICE!

Oh dear, oh dear. Devon Conway has been dropped twice in two balls! Marco Jansen can’t help but give a smile of frustration. First, Yuzvendra Chahal puts it down at short fine-leg, then put down by Yash Thakur at deep third man. And then a misfield!

CSK 105/2 (11.3)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 100 up!

100 up for Chennai Super Kings in the 11th over. Still a long way to go in this run chase, they’re not even half way there. A lot of pressure on the men in yellow. Dube has to take charge, while Conway hasn’t fully got going.

CSK 101/2 (11)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: SIX

First 6 of the innings for CSK, and it’s come in the 10th over! Shivam Dube pummels this one, over mid-wicket, gets up to 22. That’s his highest score of the season so far. He is a great powerhitter when on song, and CSK’s hopes currently rest on him.

CSK 91/2 (10)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 141 needed off 66

For a team who have failed to chase any total of 180 or more since 2019, the equation isn’t something encouraging. Chennai Super Kings have a mountain to climb still, and the runs aren’t coming in the pace they need.

CSK 79/2 (9)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4, Dube!

Second boundary for Shivam Dube. Delicately placed through the third man region, right between two fielders in the circle. But this won’t be enough for CSK, they need many more boundaries to avoid the pressure from building up.

CSK 76/2 (8.3)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Cracking shot

Impact player Shivam Dube picks up his first boundary. Exquisitely timed through the covers for 4. That was hit hard and with conviction. Brilliant by the left-hander. CSK have a long, long way to go in this run chase.

CSK 69/2 (8)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: GAIKWAD GONE!

HUGE WICKET! CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is on his way back. Poor shot by Gaikwad, no timing, and a great, sharp catch taken at short mid-on by Shashank Singh. Chennai Super Kings have lost their two most reliable batters in the space of six balls.

CSK 62/2 (7.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: OUT!

Maxwell strikes! Stumped. Rachin Ravindra misses it completely, he was outside his ground. Great wicket-keeping by Prabhsimran Singh, who dismantles the bails with ease. Ravindra departs for 36 off 23 balls.

CSK 61/1 (6.3)

PBKS vs CSK, IPL 2025 LIVE: 50 up for CSK

Chennai Super Kings manage a score of 59 in the powerplay. The run-rate is pretty good, and importantly, CSK have not lost a wicket yet. However, they are behind the asking run-rate too, which is up over 11.

CSK 59/0 (6)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Conway now!

Devon Conway gets 4 more. The Kiwi left-handers slowly accelerating gears. Good timing by Conway on this instance, he finds the gap at mid-wicket for 4 more. The partnership nearing 50, with Shreyas going to Maxwell for an over.

CSK 47/0 (5)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4 boundaries in 1 over!

Rachin Ravindra on a roll! Three boundaries in a row, against impact sub Yash Thakur. Classy batting by the Kiwi, who takes advantage of his luck with an inside edge, and then hits two cracking drives through the off-side. 

CSK 39/0 (4)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4 more!

A quiet second over, but Devon Conway now gets yet another boundary. Bold shot, over extra-cover. Clears the fielders and reaches the fence. Rachin joins in the act two balls later, upper cut executed well for 4 more.

CSK 22/0 (2.3)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 4, Conway!

Now Devon Conway picks up a boundary off his first ball. Width offered by Arshdeep, and Conway places it delicately through third-man. Good timing by left-hander. The over ends with a dot, 9 off it.

CSK 9/0 (1)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: CSK start chase

Rachin Ravindra gets his first boundary! Excellent shot by the Kiwi, Wadhera gave in the dive at the deep point boundary, but not enough to stop it from rolling away for 4. CSK up and running, they’ll need to have a big start here.

CSK 4/0 (0.2)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Huge task for CSK

Chennai Super Kings will have to pull off something incredible to chase this down. They’ve not managed to chase anything over 180 since 2019, so 220 will require more than one big knock. Over to Ruturaj Gaikwad and co.!

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Priyansh. Arya.

Take a bow, Priyansh Arya. Wickets tumbling at the other end? No problem. The 24-year-old took control, and we have yet another incredible story of IPL. Rs 3.8 crore at the auction, worth his weight in gold today.

Fastest-ever century by an uncapped player, in just 39 balls. Wow.

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: PBKS pile up 219!

Shashank Singh runs 3, gets to a well-made half-century and PBKS have posted a superb total of 219. This will need some chasing by the men in yellow. The standout? Priyansh Arya, of course. Probably the best knock of IPL 2025.

PBKS 219/6 (20 overs)

CSK Target: 220

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 6!

Marco Jansen gives it another big heave. Terrific shot, one-handed! Jansen removes his bottom hand, and the ball flies over the bowler’s head for a maximum. Punjab Kings could get 220!

PBKS 215/6 (19.4)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Highest score in Mullanpur

Punjab Kings’ first innings total is up to 207, and that is the highest-ever score made at Mullanpur in IPL history. They still have one over to go, which will be bowled by Pathirana. The Sri Lankan has had a poor day at the office so far.

PBKS 208/6 (19)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 200 up!

200 up for Punjab Kings! They’ve recovered from 83/5 to now post a total this big. Really, really good recovery, led by their uncapped gem at the top, Priyansh Arya. And runs continue to flow! Shashank accelerating towards his half-century now.

PBKS 206/6 (18.5)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 2 to go

Punjab Kings are on their way to a 200+ score. Shashank Singh and Marco Jansen are adding valuable runs at the death here, and CSK have paid the price for their poor fielding. This will need a Herculean run chase from them today.

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Punjab Kings cross 180

Punjab Kings have crossed 180. Why is this important? Because CSK have not chased down a 180+ total in the IPL since 2019. This will require a mighty batting effort from the men in yellow. Meanwhile, 6 more by Jansen!

PBKS 188/6 (17.1)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: Dropped!

Oh dear. Right after hitting a six, Shashank mistimed his next big hit, but Rachin Ravindra drops it. Really poor effort in the field. That should’ve been held. Repreive for Punjab Kings, and this could be costly for CSK.

PBKS 180/6 (16.4)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: History made by Priyansh Arya

Not only is this his first IPL century, but Priyansh’s ton is the fastest by an uncapped batter in IPL history. Overall, it is the joint fourth-fastest century slammed in the history of the Indian Premier League. What an innings.

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: 5 overs to go!

Punjab Kings lost their way after the powerplay, but Priyansh Arya’s astonishing knock has ensured they’re still on course for a 200-plus score. Shashank is well set now, Jansen can also hit the ball a long way. With 5 overs to go, how much can they pile up?

PBKS 164/6 (15)

PBKS vs CSK LIVE: OUT!

Priyansh Arya’s dream knock comes to an end. What an absolutely incredible knock played by the youngster tonight. Noor Ahmad gets the big wicket. Mullanpur applauds, Preity Zinta applauds. Take a bow, young man, you were sensational.
