After a little bit of drama, Punjab win this on the fourth ball. They have knocked CSK out

We are somehow going into the final over. Khaleel to bowl, only 2 needed

While CSK have been getting a couple of wickets, PBKS are only little away from winning this.

Pathirana has not been in form this season and his run shows in this over. A 20-run over from him and Shreyas has all but snatched this away from CSK.

TImely wicket for CSK. They wanted this. Pathirana gets Nehal caught.

Prabhsimran goes. A drop from Maheesh Pathirana might not haunt him more now. He had dropped Prabhsimran a few balls before and he is dismissed by Noor as Brevis takes a catch.

Punjab's 100 is up and Prabhsimran's fifty is up too. They breach 100 in the 11th over. They have wickets in hand and should get over the line

Khaleel got the first breakthrough and has given CSK a window here. Can they catch the opportunity and get more?

Punjab are going well at the moment. They are 36/0 after 4 overs.

Punjab Kings innings is underway now. They are chasing 191 runs and will be delighted that they are not chasing 200+ thanks to Chahal who took a hattrick. Can Arya and Prabhsimran take them off to a good start?

CSK have been bowled out here. Arshdeep gets Dube on the second ball of the final over. CSK all out for 190

Chahal gets his hat-trick. He gets four in the over. 

Chahal gets two in an over. He now dismisses Deepak Hooda caught at covers

Dhoni gone for 11 off 4 balls. A six and he is gone on the next one.

One legal ball after slamming Jansen for a six, Curran has gone. He edges behind this bouncer as he looked to tuck under it. MS Dhoni is now in

CSK are going at a shade under 10 here. Arshdeep is going outside the off stump and this is turning out to be a way long over.

Curran brings up his first fifty of the season. Curran has played well today and he needs to carry this on.

Omarzai comes back and breaks the partnership straight away. A length ball targeting the stumps as Brevis misses his heave. He is gone for 32.

Curran is unleashing his shots well and CSK are looking on track now. He is closing in on a fifty. CSK are well past their 100 and are going at a run rate of over 9

Third one down. Jadeja has edged behind one off Brar as CSK go three down. Brevis is now in

Another one is gone. Marco Jansen has hit this towards mid-off, where Shreyas Iyer takes a fine catch. 

Just when he had started to go, Rasheed has departed. He mistimes this and is caught out at covers.

After a couple of quiet overs, Shaik Rasheed has started to cut loose. He hits a four and a six off Arshdeep.

The CSK openers - Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed - are out in the middle. Arshdeep has the new ball in his hand. Off we go

I don't know I'm coming for the next game (laughs). One of the things is the pride factor. Majority of the games you play at home. Home advantage is very important which we haven't been able to capitalise on. Same team. We've been a side where we don't make a lot of changes. But this season we've made a lot of changes. Reason is simple. If most of your players are doing well, then you chop and change 1-2 players. But this season it hasn't worked for us. It's also the first season after a fresh auction. So you have something in mind but you have to see where a batter is suited better.

We're going to bowl first. We'll focus on our process. Our preparations have been intact. Boys are in high spirits and looking forward for a great game. Unfortunate that he's got a fractured finger (Maxwell). Haven't decided on a replacement so far.

Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and has said that Punjab Kings will be bowling first.

The toss is coming up now. The pitch is very dry and there is no grass on the surface today. There won't be a great amount of dew

By the barest of the margins. You have heard this before. This relates to the current CSK. They are hanging in the race to the playoffs by the barest of margins. A loss and even the maths gods can't save them. They host Punjab Kings, who have gone off track a bit and are hanging outside the top four. Stay tuned for all updates on this one.
