MI vs CSK: MS Dhoni’s 20 proves detrimental in CSK win

CSK win

That’s it. Mumbai have won here by 20 runs. What an extraordinary performance here by Rohit Sharma. But full marks to Chennai to pull off a win.

100

Rohit has a ton here, in 61 balls. This is his second century, and first one for MI. Can you believe this. Well played, Rohit.

Another over gone

Rohit is there in his 90s. It looks difficult for Mumbai now. At least he should be looking to complete his ton. He ends the over with a six here. 34 needed off 6.

MI still in hunt

MI 154/5 in 17 overs, need 53 from 18

Pandya goes too

Tilak Verma goes for a wild hoick, but is caught well by Shardul Thakur. MI in trouble now as score moves to 130/4 in 13.5 overs.

Tilak perishes

Rohit between CSK & win

The required run rate is constantly increasing for the MI, but Rohit is going strong. He has already scored 74 from 43. MI 118/2 in 12 overs.

50 for Rohit

CSK 103/2 in 10.4 overs

SKY comes, SKY goes

And there comes another wicket for CSK. Surya cuts Pathirana, but is caught brilliantly by Mustafizur on the boundary. He fumbles, but somehow completes the catch. It is 70/2.

Kishan out

Ishan Kishan hits one straight to Shardul. Big blow to Mumbai Indians, and Pathirana has a wicket. It is 70/1.

Powerplay over

And just after a gap of two overs, Mumbai has raced to 63 runs. That also marks the end of the powerplay here. What a start for Mumbai.

Fine form

Ishan Kishan is playing some exquisite shots. The runs look easy to come by, and the pitch looks flat. The chase is on. It is 38/0 after 4 overs

MI look for quick start

Rohit starts with 10 runs in the first over itself. But then it is still a steep ask from the Mumbai Indians side.

Dhoni finishes with a bang

Thala comes, Thala hits three sixes in four balls. What a finish by CSK. The team ends at 206/4 in 20 overs.

Bumrah the difference

Dube slams fifty

Chennai should be looking to get at least 190. Till the time Dube is there, it is quite possible too. The score moves to 169/3 after 17.4 overs.

Dube slams fifty

Dube slams 50 in 28 balls, it is 151/3 in 16 overs

Gaikwad going berserk

It is 149/2 in 15 overs

50 for Ruturaj

Gaikwad hits yet another six, this time off Coetzee, and he brings up his second fifty of the season. It is 110/2 in 13 overs.

Great review by Ishan

Dube and Gaikwad are looking dangerous here. Boundaries are coming easy and it looks like, CSK can score 190. CSK 94/1 after 11.1 overs.

Great review by Ishan

CSK 64/2 after 9 overs.

Dube next?

CSK batters are looking to up the ante. Ravindra clears his first leg and smashes a big six. Mumbai need to be careful now. Okay, out of nowhere, MI have a wicket. Ravindra is caught out. It is 60/2.

PP over

So after the powerplay gets over, CSK have scored 48/1. It is still a slow start from them.

Skipper on top

Gaikwad at no. 3 has just attacked, and attacked well. He hits two sixes and as many fours here. It is 38/1 after 5 overs.

Slow start

Mumbai have been good so far. They have restricted the boundaries, and overall runs too. Chennai reach 18/1 after 3 overs.

Rahane ploy fails

There you go. Coetzee has the first wicket as Rahane mistimes one and gives a simple catch to Hardik. It is 8/1.

Nabi starts

The first over of the match goes to Mohammad Nabi. Rahane and Ravindra start for CSK. It is 6-0 after 1 over.
