PBKS Knock CSK Out of IPL 2025 Playoffs – Match Highlights

Venue: Chepauk, Chennai Result: PBKS beat CSK by 4 wickets

First Innings: CSK Batting

CSK batted first and put up a good total but it wasn’t quite enough. MS Dhoni later said they were 15 runs short of a safe score, even though it was their best batting pitch at home.

Second Innings: PBKS Chase

PBKS had a strong start from openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya. Even after Priyansh got out early, Prabhsimran took charge and played smart cricket.

The main highlight of the chase was Shreyas Iyer, who scored 72 off 41 balls. His partnership with Prabhsimran gave PBKS a strong base.

Even though CSK took a few wickets towards the end, Shashank Singh’s quick 23 and Josh Inglis’s boundary shots helped PBKS stay on track. The finishing touch came from Marco Jansen, who hit a lucky four to win the match in the last over.
