Subsequent to confining Kings XI Punjab to a none excessively amazing 130/7 in 20 overs, CSK pair of Faf du Plessis (55, 41 balls) and Suresh Raina (41 no, 34 balls) included 92 keeps running for the third wicket to establish the framework of a triumph that was accomplished in 16.5 overs. Du Plessis and Raina united after CSK were put in a spot at 10 for 2 with both Mike Hussey (1) and Brendon McCullum (6) being rejected economically. By temperance of this triumph, CSK completed their alliance engagements on top of the eight-group table with 18 focuses from 14 amusements, which can't be surpassed by some other group in the competition. Completing on top of the table guarantees that CSK will be playing the first qualifier and regardless of the fact that they lose will get another shot at summit magnificence confronting the victor of the "Eliminator" between groups put third and fourth. For Kings XI Punjab, it was the end of a fairly forgettable season, where nothing went ideal for them.

Wriddhiman Saha (15) rapidly hit a six and a four yet small left-arm spinner Pawan Negi keenly hurled one outside off-stump which the India's Test authority figured out how to spoon it in the spread locale. Manan Vohra (4) cut one to third man where Ashish Nehra took a basic catch off Ishwar Pandey's playing. The twist troika of Negi (2/25 in 4 overs), Ravichandran Ashwin (1/14 in 4 overs) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/18 in 3 overs) doled out just 57 keeps running between themselves in the 11 overs that they sent down, trapping four wickets all the while. Left arm pace bowler Nehra (1/17 in 3 overs) alongside Ishwar Pandey (1/22 in 3 overs) likewise did have influence viably as KXIP batsmen barely could escape. There was no association at the highest point of the request and the main prominent stand took a stab at the back where Axar Patel (32) and Rishi Dhawan (25 no) included 44 runs however that turned out to be too little toward the end of everything. Rulers XI Punjab's abroad experts Glenn Maxwell (6), George Bailey (12) and David Miller (11) again came cropper. Particularly Maxwell, who dealt with a small 145 keeps running at a normal of 13 or more on 11 matches.
