Punjab Kings Beat CSK by 5 Wickets in High-Scoring IPL Thriller
Friday night at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and it was exactly the kind of high-octane IPL opener the Chennai crowd had been waiting for. Punjab Kings chased down 210 with 8 balls to spare, clinching a tense 5-wicket win in the 7th match of IPL 2026.

Shreyas Iyer (c) anchored the chase with a composed 50 off 29 (4 fours, 3 sixes), keeping Punjab calm as wickets fell around him. Cooper Connolly chipped in with 36 off 22, while Prabhsimran Singh made 43 off 34 before being run out. Shashank Singh’s unbeaten 14 off 6 sealed it in the final overs.
Matt Henry took 2/54 for CSK – the wickets came but the economy wasn’t good enough to derail Punjab’s momentum. Anshul Kamboj also grabbed 2/43.
