IPL Live Score 2026, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Live Cricket Score Updates: Captain Shreyas Iyer slammed a 50 as he built on an excellent start by Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh as Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets, consigning CSK to their second defeat of the season.
Earlier, Ayush Mhatre slammed 73 while Shivam Dube’s (45*) big hitting at the backend as well as Sarfaraz Khan’s blistering cameo of 32 off 12 helped Chennai Super Kings post 209/5 vs the Punjab kings at the Chepauk on Friday. Earlier, Punjab Kings won the toss and opted to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. CSK made one change with Prashant Veer replacing Matt Short while PBKS are going with the same team that defeated Gujarat Titans.

PBKS, meanwhile, started their campaign with a win over Gujarat Titans. Cooper Connolly’s unbeaten 44-ball 72 on his IPL debut helped them chase down Shubman Gill’s GT.
