Punjab 46-0 (4 ovs) vs CSK 200-4 | Scorecard

Akash continues as Prabhsimran gets a single from the first ball before Dhawan misses the pull shot and is struck on the body.

The pacer bowls a high bouncer which is ruled a wide before Dhawan plays a cracking pick up shot off his pads for a six over fine leg.

The Punjab captain taps the fifth ball with soft hands behind square on the leg side for two runs.

Akash gifts Dhawan a full toss which he easily flicks over square leg for a four to get 14 runs from the third over.

Spinner Mahesh Theekshana comes into the attack, to bowl the fourth over.

Prabhsimran lofts the first ball back over the bowler's head for a four and then clips the next for a single to square leg.

Dhawan is beaten as he tries to run the ball to thirdman as CSK appeal for the edge but umpire Rod Tucker is not interested.

Dhawan slaps the next square on the off-side as the ball looks set to head for a boundary before Gaikwad puts in a last-minute dive to stop the ball and keep it down to two runs and then picks a single.

Prabhsimran picks a boundary off the last ball as he top edges the sweep shot, to get 12 from the over.

Punjab off to a flying start, as they race to 46 for no loss in four overs, with Prabhsimran on 20 from 11 balls and Dhawan on 24 from 13 balls.
