And now, they are up against an in-form Chennai Super Kings in their own den in their Pepsi IPL match here today. Punjab fell just four runs short against Mumbai Indians chasing 175 for a win at Wankhede.

Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Punjab did not throw in the towel and fought until the very end. CSK, on the other hand have had a smooth campaign so far, winning eight out of the 10 games and are sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Chennai, having won six games on the trot, with Mike Hussey and MS Dhoni in full flow, are clearly the team to beat.
