Raza trumps Pathirana as Punjab Kings win last-ball thriller
A last-ball thriller that ended with Sikandar Raza pulling Matheesha Pathirana for three quick runs stunned a Chepauk crowd that may have expected their team to return home with a win and get closer to the top of the table. Chennai Super Kings had almost everything going for them;Devon Conway walloped an unbeaten 92, MS Dhoni stretched their total to 200 with two sixes to end the innings, and they strangled the Kings’ chase through the middle overs, but lost despite largely being ahead through the final over thanks to Pathirana’s accuracy.
Brief scores:
Punjab Kings 201 for 6 (Prabhsimran Singh 42, Liam Livingstone 40, Tushar Deshpande 3-49, Ravindra Jadeja 2-32) beat Chennai Super Kings 200 for 4 (Devon Conway 92*, Rutraj Gaikwad 37) by four wickets
