The match was marked by some stupendous performances with the bat as well as the ball from both sides. Shikhar Dhawan, playing his 200th IPL match, scored 88 runs while Ambati Rayudu mesmerised the crowd with an equally enterprising knock of 78 runs. In the bowling department, Dwayne Bravo, Kagiso Rabada and Rishi Dhawan took two wickets each for their franchises.

IPL 2022, PBKS vs CSK: Punjab Kings hold nerve against Chennai Super Kings to prevail by 11 runs

Punjab Kings went in with a more calculated batting approach led by the dependable Shikhar Dhawan, whose ninth half-century against Chennai Super Kings helped his side romp home by 11 runs, overcoming Ambati Rayudu's single-handed effort. Tottering at 40/3, Chennai needed the experience of Rayudu, whose 78 off 39 balls, comprising seven fours and six massive sixes, seemed to get the chase of 188 back on track. But it was the disciplined effort of the Punjab bowlers, especially Kagiso Rabada and comeback man Rishi Dhawan, that pulled the red and gold brigade back into the match. AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARD | POINTS TABLERayudu's arrival with a slight limp raised Chennai's hopes of a turnaround. With the asking rate mounting to an excess of 11 an over, Rayudu's clean hits infused life back into the Wankhede crowd that was more or less a sea of yellow. The right-hander looked in ominous touch, taking Rishi to the cleaners for a four and a six before dispatching Liam Livingstone over the midwicket fence for his second six. He went on to bring up his half century by launching leg-spinner Rahul Chahar to the stands, before a hat-trick of sixes followed by a four against Sandeep Sharma almost turned the tide in Chennai's favour, until Rabada struck in the 18th over with Rayudu's wicket.

But Arshdeep Singh conceded just six runs in the next over and eight in the 19th to tilt the scale towards Punjab.

IPL 2022, CSK Predicted XI vs PBKS: Chennai Super Kings Likely To Stick To Winning Combination

Chennai Super Kings had a horror start to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 after they lost their first four matches, but currently find themselves in a slightly better position after winning two out of the last three games. They will be buoyed with their dramatic last-ball win against Mumbai Indians and will hope to continue their momentum when they take on Punjab Kings on Monday. PBKS themselves have won just three matches and CSK would aim to leapfrog them on the IPL 2022 points table with a win. The last time the two sides met earlier this season, PBKS emerged victorious thanks to Liam Livingstone's all-round show. This time, however, Ravindra Jadeja will hope to lead his team to a different outcome.
