The Chennai Super Kings hit back into winning ways after suffering a huge defeat in the previous game against the Mumbai Indians. Taking on the Kings XI Punjab, CSK picked Faf du Plessis for the first time this season who struck a crucial half-century. On a typical slow Chepauk track, the home team finished with 160/3 in 20 overs. KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan put Kings XI in the chase after losing two wickets in the 2nd over. However, the duo failed to play aggressively in the last eight overs where they needed 70 but the team got only 47 runs.
