Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings
Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings share an enduring rivalry, winning five IPL titles between them over their respective histories and meeting in 10 finals and qualifying for 12 play-off stages, making them two of the most successful franchises ever seen on an IPL field.
Their first meeting this season proved exciting as CSK posted an impressive score of 208/5 at M A Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk with Matthew Hayden scoring an unorthodox 46-ball 81.
Suresh Raina made up for it by scoring 57 (35) before MS Dhoni kept MI alive through 16-ball 30 cameo from MS Dhoni.
However, CSK bowlers soon took control and limited the hosts to just 176/5 with Mohammad Nabi (3/36) and Ravindra Jadeja (2/45) bowling outstandingly to restrict them – both being supported by leg spinner Ayush Mhatre who gave away only 9 runs in his maiden over, suggesting they would easily reach their target.
Rohit Sharma returned to form with an unbeaten 68-ball innings that featured five sixes and four fours for his inaugural fifty this IPL, sharing strong second wicket partnerships with Ryan Rickelton (51) as well as sharing an unbeaten fourth wicket stand of 114 runs with Suryakumar Yadav who also reached fifty.
Dube and Jadeja were at the heart of CSK’s counterattack, combining for an unbroken 80-run fifth-wicket stand after struggling at 136 for three in 13 overs. Dube smacked Pandya for six over midwicket while Jadeja cleared the ropes multiple times off Trent Boult.
CSK now sits atop of the table with eight points after eight matches while MI remain sixth place with eight from seven matches. CSK’s win also marks Rohit Sharma’s return to form, who finally found his groove against Lucknow Super Giants.
MI was struggling at the bottom of the table until recent wins against Delhi and Sunrisers gave them hope of qualifying for playoffs – their bowling performance under Noor Ahmed and Khaleel Ahmed is outstanding while their batting needs some work.
