CSK vs PBKS – IPL 2025 49th Match Results

updated：Punjab Kings beat Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets.

What a rollercoaster of a match at Chepauk! The Chennai Super Kings looked set for a mammoth total, riding high on Sam Curran’s fiery 88 off just 47 balls. But just when things were heating up, Yuzvendra Chahal turned the game upside down with a stunning 19th-over hat-trick—his second in IPL history! That magical spell saw CSK collapse from a dominant position to being bowled out for 190, losing five wickets in the blink of seven balls. Chahal’s 4/32 gave Punjab a real chance, trimming the target from a daunting 210 to a much more manageable 191.

Punjab Kings wasted no time chasing it down. Prabhsimran Singh brought the fireworks early with a blazing 54, while skipper Shreyas Iyer anchored the innings with a classy 72. The pair had CSK on the back foot, and despite a few late nerves—including a dramatic penultimate over—the Kings held firm. Marco Jansen’s inside edge for four sealed the deal with just two balls left, pushing PBKS closer to the playoffs. With this win, they not only crushed CSK’s playoff dreams but also announced themselves as serious contenders this season.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK’s) Key Players to Watch

• Ruturaj Gaikwad: Anchor and run-machine. CSK’s top scorer this season with consistent starts. Crucial to set a strong foundation on Chepauk’s tricky pitch.
• Ravindra Jadeja: Middle-overs enforcer. Economical left-arm spin (6.5 econ) and a clutch finisher (145+ SR). Key against PBKS’s right-heavy middle order.
• Matheesha Pathirana: Yorker king. 8 wickets in death overs this season. Will be vital against PBKS power-hitters (Stoinis/Maxwell).
• Devon Conway: Technical accumulator. Excellent player of spin, needed to counter Chahal and Brar on a turning track.

Punjab Kings (PBKS‘s) Key Players to Watch

• Shreyas Iyer: Spin specialist. Strong record vs CSK spinners (Jadeja/Ashwin). Must anchor PBKS innings on a slow pitch.
• Yuzvendra Chahal: Wicket-taker. 12 wickets this season, excels in middle overs. Will target CSK’s left-handers (Gaikwad/Dube).
• Marcus Stoinis: Finisher + 6th bowler. 180+ SR in death overs. Also handy with ball on Chepauk’s two-paced track.
• Arshdeep Singh: Left-arm yorker specialist. Key to contain Dhoni/Curran in final overs.
