IPL 2024: Clinical Bowlers Help CSK Jump To Third Place With 28-run Win Over PBKS
Chennai Super Kings: A clinical bowling performance, led by Ravindra Jadeja’s three-fer, along with Simarjeet Singh and Tushar Deshpande taking two wickets each, helped Chennai Super Kings jump to third place in the points table after beating Punjab Kings by 28 runs at the HPCA Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
After restricting CSK to 167/9, thanks to three-fers from Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel, PBKS were on course to chase down the total by reaching 62/2 in 7.5 overs. But after that, PBKS suffered a batting meltdown to be reduced to 90/8 and eventually ended up with 139/9.
Jadeja’s spell of 3-20 in the middle overs turned the game on its head, while Simarjeet and Deshpande returned with figures of 2-16 and 2-35 respectively to derail PBKS’ chase. Mitchell Santner and Shardul Thakur also took a wicket each to ensure CSK got back into the top four of the points table.
