CSK demolish KXIP with a perfect chase in the 18th match of IPL 2020. CSK were too good against KXIP as they chased the target to win the game by 10 wickets.
KXIP set an above par total of 178 against CSK batting first. Skipper KL Rahul (63) continued his good run of form to take his team to 178/4. Not many were banking on CSK to win the match due to their poor run of form in the last couple of games.
Innings Break!#KXIP post a total of 178/4 on the board.
Is this enough to defend or will #CSK chase this down.

However, CSK scripted the most perfect chase as they chased down 178 without a loss of wicket. Opener Shane Watson (83) and Fat du Plessis (87) proved too good for the KXIP bowlers as they comfortably chased down the target with 14 balls to spare.

KXIP bowlers looked helpless as the two batsmen were in a golden touch finding the middle of every ball. This win will be a huge relief for CSK fans with their team failing in the last 3 games. Could this domination bring a turn-around in CSK’s fortunes?
