Punjab Kings beat Chennai Super Kings by 54 runs
Right then, that is all we have from this game. It has been a dominating performance by Punjab. The action will continue on Monday, April 4. It will be Lucknow going against Hyderabad in that game and the game will start at 7.30 pm IST (2.00 pm GMT). Our coverage, though, will begin in advance. Do join us for the same. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Liam Livingstone is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH! He says that it's been nice to contribute to the win and reckons the boys did really well tonight. Adds that all the conversations have been about being aggressive but smart and not being reckless and it came off tonight. Mentions that he has been swinging hard and it's good to get a few out of the screws tonight. Also mentions that he plays his own way and he struggled in the first two games but will take confidence from tonight's performance. About his bowling, he says that he enjoys it and was happy to bowl and reckons as the tournament goes on, his spin bowling might come in handy.
Mayank Agarwal, the skipper of Punjab, says that they were thinking that they were 5-7 runs short but they knew early wickets will be key. Adds that he is happy with their performance with the new ball. Mentions that he did not tell anything to Livingstone and says that everyone holds their breath when he is batting Tells that they saw the talent of Vaibhav Arora couple of years back and he has tremendous skills. Mentions that Jitesh Sharma was spotted by Anil Kumble and he is a brilliant keeper. Says that they will continue to play an aggressive brand of cricket and need to keep their emotional intelligence on when it does not go their way.
Time for the presentation.
Shikhar Dhawan is down for a chat. He says that it feels great and they made a great comeback. Tells that Vaibhav Arora was bowling well in the nets and he bowled quite well today and he kept his calm. Adds that he had a good partnership with Livingstone and he played a great knock. Says that they had a good score on the board and with 180 on the board, the chasing team still needs to chase it. Adds that they just needed a good start.
Ravindra Jadeja, the skipper of Chennai, says that they lost too many wickets in the Powerplay and didn't get any momentum at the start and this needs to be addressed. About Ruturaj's form, Jadeja says that they need to back him up and give him confidence as he is a class player and will come good for them. About being asked about Shivam Dube, he says that it was great to see him perform and hopes he keeps up the good work. Ends by saying that they will work hard and bounce back straonger.
Time for some interviews!
Chennai did well in the latter half of their bowling innings to restrict Punjab to a chaseable score. However, they had a disastrous start and they never recovered after a bad start as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Shivam Dube was the only one who showed some fight with a fine fifty but once he departed, it was too much for other batters and they ended up getting bundled out for just 126. The night surely belonged to the hard-hitting English all-rounder Liam Livingstone. As he smashed a brilliant fifty when his team was under the pump and then delivered a two-wicket over that just sealed the game in Punjab's favour!
Punjab got to a decent total with the bat and somehow it seemed below-par to everyone on this pitch mainly due to the dew factor. However, Punjab were in the mood to prove everyone wrong. Rabada got rid of Ruturaj Gaikwad to set the tone but really the star of the show was the debutant, Vaibhav Arora as he bowled a brilliant spell swinging the ball both ways and got rid of in-form Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali inside the Powerplay. Arshdeep Singh and Odean Smith continued the good work and then Livingstone delivered a killer blow to get rid of Dube who was looking good. He got two wickets in that over and in the end, Chahal finished off things with three wickets to take Punjab to a comfortable win here.
All the criticism of it is being too easy for chasing teams to win the games with dew playing its part has been answered as we have seen three games on the trot where the team defending the target has won the game. However, this one is the most convincing of them all as Brabourne seems to get more dew than in Pune and Punjab will be pretty pleased with their effort. Coming to the game, they have absolutely thrashed Chennai here and have handed the defending champions their third loss on the trot.

Rahul Chahar To MS Dhoni OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! What a review from the young Punjab keeper and MS Dhoni has to depart as well! Rahul Chahar spills it down the leg side and Dhoni looks to paddle it away. The umpire signals a wide straightaway. Jitesh Sharma though seems really excited behind the stumps and calls for the review, which is eventually taken. The ball seems close to the bat and the third umpire checks UltraEdge. There is a spike as the ball passes the bat and it's a brilliant take as well from Sharma behind the stumps. The on-field decision is reversed and Chahar picks up the wicket which all but seals it for Punjab.

Drinks! Chennai were looking to stay in the hunt and have an outside chance but Liam Livingstone has turned the game well and truly in favour of Punjab once again. He has got rid of the well-set Shivam Dube and on the next ball he has sent Dwayne Bravo packing as well. With 83 needed off 30 balls and just MS Dhoni left on the crease, the veteran will have to pull off a miracle to guide his side to victory. Punjab though will be looking to clean up things at the earliest. Also, Dwaine Pretorius is the next batter in.

Bravo presses forward to defend but the ball loops up in the air towards left of Liam Livingstone. He moves to his left and then dives full stretch to take a superb catch. A moment of brilliance from Liam Livingstone. It seems that he has killed the chase in this over now as still 83 runs needed from 30 balls!

DRINKS! What a start this has been for Punjab, really a dream one! Five wickets down already and the target that was looking below-par after the first innings because of the dew factor and the nature of the pitch now seems a distant dream for Chennai. They need MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube to build a special partnership from hereon to chase this down and Punjab will be delighted with their bowlers, especially with the performance of the debutant, Vaibhav Arora. They will hope to continue the good work.

OUT! BOWLED! What a debut this is turning out be for Vaibhav Arora! Lazy shot though from Moeen Ali and he pays the price! Lands it on a length again, outside off this time. Ali plays away from his body and looks to push it away. The ball catches the inside edge of his blade and shatters the stumps. Big, big wicket this as Moeen Ali is the man who can the game away in flash. Great start for Punjab!
