Punjab Kings on Sunday registered a new record against their name when they defeated Chennai Super Kings in the 41st match of IPL 2023. Shikhar Dhawan's PBKS registered the highest successful chase for a visiting team at Chepauk as they chased down the target of 201 in a nail-biter. Sikandar Raza helped PBKS go over the line in the contest that went down to the very last ball.
Sam Curran helped them put pressure on Chennai ahead of the death overs. The match kept swinging
with PBKS batters scoring runs and CSK finding timely scalps. But it all came down to the final over where PBKS needed 9 to win and Pathirana came to bowl for CSK. He gave 2 runs off the first three balls but Raza found enough in the next three balls to score 7 runs and go home.
Notably, this is the highest chase completed by a visiting team ever against Chennai at Chepauk. Also, PBKS have become the first team to chase a score of over 200 at MA Chidambaram Stadium against CSK.
