Despite resilient effort from Deccan top order batsmen Chennai bowlers held
their nerves in the death overs to curtail the opponent short of 10 runs from
required target of 160. Shikhar Dhawan (36 off 29), Cameron White (77 off 53),
and Daniel Christian (27* off 24) almost snatched the game from Chennai; but
couldn’t finish it perfectly.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and elected to bat first. Faf du
Plesis (42 off 35), Suresh Raina (32 off 24) and skipper MS Dhoni (34 off 28)
contributed significantly to help build a total that proved beyond the limit of
opponents in the end. Suresh Raina was named man of the match for his all-round
performance.
Chennai has moved up one step further to end up at number four pushing Kings
XI Punjab (KXIP) to number five. Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai are still of top
three positions respectively. Detailed and updated points table is presented
above showing the respective team positions.
