Chennai Super Kings ended Kings XI Punjab's IPL 2020 campaign with a nine-wicket win in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.

Punjab needed to win to advance to the playoffs. Instead, they were completely outplayed by Chennai.

Punjab batted first and struggle to put up a challenging total. Lower order batsman Deepak Hooda blasted 62 from 30 balls and even then they could only reach 153-6.

All hopes of a close contest quickly ended as Chennai openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (62 not out) and Faf du Plessis (48) added 82 for the first wicket. The Super Kings chased down the target with nine wickets and seven balls in hand.
