Quarterfinal for Punjab, Chennai
With a semifinal berth at stake, Chennai Super Kings, smarting from a stunning defeat to tournament-laggards Kolkata Knight Riders, take on Kings XI Punjab in a do-or-die encounter of the Indian Premier League here on Wednesday.
Chennai are currently placed second With 15 points after notching up seven wins from 13 matches. Just one point behind them is Punjab.
Chennai were on course for a semifinal spot but Kolkata spoiled their party last night with a seven-wicket victory. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men now face a do-or-die match against an equally desperate Punjab, on a roll with two consecutive wins.
Even without their run-machine Matthew Hayden, Chennai posted 188 against the Kolkata team but couldn't defend the total, due to poor bowling.
