Punjab Kings (PBKS) won by 4 wickets, which was enough to jump to second place in the updated IPL 2025 points table in a very important IPL 2025 encounter at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The defeat officially eliminated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from the playoffs, and it ended an extremely disappointing season for the five-time champions.
