CSK had a strong showing with the bat, scoring 190/10 in 19.2 overs behind Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis. The two international players put on a good performance in the middle, scoring 78 runs together for the fourth wicket. Curran starred with an 88 from 47 balls, unleashing some stunning shots.

Chahal got four wickets
Chahal got four wickets in the penultimate over, reducing CSK’s total from 177/5 after 18 overs to 186/9 after 19. He grabbed Dhoni’s wicket with the second ball before completing a hat-trick with the fourth, fifth, and sixth deliveries. Chahal defeated Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad to clinch his hat-trick.
Prabhsimran and Shreyas had good control of the chase. While Priyansh Arya left after a promising start, Prabhsimran raised the stakes and challenged the bowlers. He kept the scoreboard ticking and scored boundaries at will. Prabhsimran had a terrific rapport with Shreyas, who led the chase after the young opener was removed.
There was some drama in the final over when two runs were required when PBKS lost Suryansh Shedge, but they crossed the line with two balls remaining. CSK was knocked out of the tournament after losing five consecutive games at Chepauk for the first time.
