over dismissal of Sanju Samson, caught behind off Xavier Bartlett, to post a competitive 209-5 on a good batting strip at the MA Chida mbaram Stadium. Punjab responded with 210-5, a record-extending ninth time they had successfully chased a target in excess of 200 in the IPL. Ayush Mhatre, India’s U-19 World Cup-winning captain, pro vided the early momentum for Chennai with a blazing 73 off 43 deliveries. Sarfaraz Khan bossed the mid dle overs with a 12-ball 32 and the final kick came from Shivam Dube, 14 from 14 at one stage before finishing unbeaten on 45 off 27. Ayush took five deliveries to get off the mark but once he found his bearings, he peppered the ground with a bouquet of delectable fours and powerful sixes. Fortunate to be dropped on 59 and 67, both times off seasoned leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal who surprisingly bowled only

four sixes in an 11-ball 39. Punjab continued to string together useful partnerships. Prabhsimran and Cooper Connolly put on 34 for the second wicket, after which Connolly helped Shreyas add 32, but when the Australian was caught off an Anshul Kamboj full toss, Punjab still needed 83 off 49 deliveries. That was the cue for Shreyas to announce himself. The captain picked off leg-spinner Rahul Chahar for two sixes in the 13th over and followed it up with a four and six off New Zealand pacer Matt Henry in the 15th to bring up his fifty in just 26 deliv eries. Marcus Stoinis and Shashank Singh steered Punjab home with eight balls to spare, consigning Chennai to a second successive defeat. – AFP Joshua vs Fury ‘done’ deal BOXING PROMOTER Kalle Sauerland has claimed that Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury is “done” and will take place in Dublin this year. British heavyweights Joshua and Fury have been linked to each other for years, with a generational showdown long elud ing fans. However, there is currently hope that Joshua vs Fury may finally materialise – even in spite of a car accident in December, in which “AJ” was injured while two of his teammates were tragically killed. Joshua, 36, has returned to the gym since that crash in Nigeria, having recently trained alongside old rival Oleksandr Usyk in the latter’s native Ukraine. Meanwhile, 37-year-old Fury is due to box Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11, as the Briton ends his fifth retirement from boxing. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn has hinted at a summer comeback for AJ, which some fans expect will be a warm-up fight for a clash with Fury. And Wasserman promoter Sauerland has suggested that Joshua vs Fury is closer than some may think. “AJ-Fury, I’ve heard it’s done for Dublin later this year, so I think that will get announced pretty soon,” he told The Stomping Ground yesterday. Separately, Sauerland told iFL TV : “Fury-AJ, done for apparently autumn in Dublin, fantastic. That’s what I’ve heard, done for Dublin, I think September or October. I don’t know, have I put my foot in it (by revealing that)? That’s what I’ve heard, word on the street.” – The Independent

three overs, he otherwise hardly put a foot wrong while dominat ing a second-wicket stand of 96 with his captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad. Punjab fought back with the wickets of Ruturaj, Ayush and Kartik Sharma in quick succes sion but Sarfaraz uncorked a cheeky cameo and Shivam cut loose towards the end, largely responsible for 64 runs flowing off the last five overs. Fresh off a three-wicket win against Gujarat Titans, Punjab attacked the target furiously through Priyansh Arya, the left handed opener who unleashed a flurry of fours and sixes. Prabhsimran Singh too played his part in an opening stand worth 61, though it was Priyansh who bossed the early exchanges while smashing three fours and
