Chennai skipper, MS Dhoni credits Gayle and Rahul for their knocks and praises Punjab's bowling as well. Admits that Chennai were not up to the mark in the Powerplay. Is happy that they managed to stretch the game to as long as possible. Mentions that they wanted to win the game but after the kind of start Punjab had, the 14.2 overs factor played in his mind. Lauds his bowlers for bowling the last 8-9 overs well.

Chasing a stiff target, Punjab got off to a rollicking start. KL Rahul batted like a train on fire and completed his fifty off just 19 balls. That set the tone for the chase and scared Chennai who were in danger of getting dropped to number two in the points table, had Punjab overhauled the target in 14.2 overs. Harbhajan Singh, who took a real hammering in his first spell of 2 overs, returned with a bang to pick three wickets and put brakes on the home team's charge. His spell meant that Chennai kept the top spot even though they lost the game by a handsome margin.

A convincing win for Punjab to end their season. They have avoided the wooden spoon and it has landed in the bag of Bangalore. This victory will please the home team as it has come against one of the top teams of the league. Earlier, powered by the century stand between du Plessis and Raina, Chennai posted 170 on the board. Faf missed out on his ton while the visiting team didn't get going in the death overs and fell around 15-20 runs short.

Kings XI Punjab has very minute chance of getting qualified for the playoffs if they win their upcoming game against CSK. Considering KXIP Net Run Rate, they will have to defeat Chennai by a very big margin and also hope that KKR lose against Mumbai tonight. However, it seems next to impossible as Kolkata are in great form and also if KKR loses, Sunrisers Hyderabad who are also on 12 points have strong net run rate.

 

On the other hand, CSK will look forward to finish on top with a win against KXIP. Chennai outplayed Delhi Capitals in their last match where they won by 80 runs. Chennai Super Kings under the leadership of MS Dhoni is a strong unit and will leave no stone unturned to give away their championship title.
