Chasing a modest 117 to win, Punjab crashed to 92 for eight, the defeat dashing their hopes of a last four berth, though, mathematically, they still have a slim chance.
Muttiah Muralitharan (4-0-8-2), eventually named the man of the match, R Ashwin (4-0-13-2), Suresh Raina (4-0-17-2) and Thilan Thushara (4-0-28-2) all delivered with the ball to ensure their team avoids table toppers Delhi Daredevils in the semi-finals.
Chennai, with 17 points from their 14 matches, would have progressed to the semi-finals (on better net run rate) even if they had lost to Punjab, but that would have meant a fourth place finish in the table (and a meeting with Delhi).
