In a high-octane clash, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) reached 94/3 at the end of 11 overs against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their IPL encounter. After losing openers Shaik Rasheed (11) and Ayush Mhatre (7) early, CSK stabilized their innings through a crucial partnership between Sam Curran and Dewald Brevis.

Curran played a brisk knock, scoring 31 runs off 18 balls with three boundaries and a six, maintaining an impressive strike rate of 172.22. Brevis supported him ably with 23 off 18 balls. The duo added 46 runs off 31 balls, ensuring CSK stayed in control with a healthy run rate of 8.55.

PBKS bowlers had a mixed outing — Marco Jansen and Harpreet Brar picked a wicket each, while Chahal proved expensive, conceding 23 runs in his two overs. With 54 balls remaining, CSK look poised for a competitive total, with big hitters like MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube still to come.

Will CSK capitalize on this solid foundation and push past 180?
