Chasing 154, CSK got off to a great start with Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad adding 62 in the first seven overs. KXIP got du Plessis for 48 in the 10th over but CSK were well-placed to chase the total down at all stages. Gaikwad got another 50 this season – his third consecutive fifty of IPL 2020 – as CSK raced towards the target and reached there with seven balls to spare. Gaikwad finished unbeaten on 62 runs off 49 balls. This CSK victory means KXIP have been knocked out of the race to the playoffs. Earlier, CSK won the toss and elected to field. Mayank scored a brisk 26 off just 15 balls before Ngidi shattered his stumps. Rahul followed soon after, bowled by Ngidi, again, for 29. Shardul Thakur reaped rewards for four quiet overs after the Powerplay as Nicholas Pooran inside-edged behind to the keeper Dhoni. Imran Tahir then trapped Chris Gayle lbw to put CSK on top. Mandeep Singh and Deepak Hooda hung around for a while and Hooda's unbeaten 62 off just 30 balls took KXIP to 153/6.
